Though everyone (including me) was ready to be done with 2020, I didn’t hold out much hope for 2021 being better. Sadly, it wasn’t better in far too many ways. Watching my fellow humans gleefully impose restrictions upon and generally oppress their friends and family was sickening. I watched at least one country return to their penal colony roots by becoming an incredibly oppressive jail for the innocent. More than one country made it impossible to live life without getting an experimental jab (which is showing to not be effective at all, resulting in more hospitalizations and restrictions even in countries with really high jab rates – seriously, look up Israel. There are also a lot of athletes collapsing while playing their sport and other things that are being explained away as nothing. I even saw a 12 year old’s death described as natural causes. What?!) There are even reports of camps for those infected. Does carting off people to camps remind you of anything?
I watched my own country continue to accept the same old and worse crap, but this time from a new ruler (so that makes it better, apparently). And I watched as people tore into each other without using logic or even a hint of skepticism that these oppressive, blanket policies that require force are WRONG. Wrong AND harmful.
We will see the fallout from this stupidity for many, many years and most of us will not connect the dots… which makes us doomed to repeat history.
