Fool me once… They are going to have to up their game. But I think they are getting desperate and the mistakes are adding up. That would be great, but you’ve put a lot of faith in humanity. Just think about it- the dunderheads. Add in some basic human greed and you’ve got the will to mass media manipulation. Political leaders rubbing hands together with glee. Oh boy, think of what we can do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that now with modern technology and especially after we reacted so excessively to corona, we will almost immediately be made aware of them. Now prepare for the instant mass-panic reaction to whatever is out there. Used to be a news cycle was 24 hours but nowadays with social media, a cycle (I refuse to call social media chatter news) it can be 15 minutes. As for monkeypox, it is quite amusing it is getting so much notoriety as worldwide there are 800 cases. That is the less than the amount of cases most major cities had of covid in a day. I agree with the conspiracy theorists on this one, monkeypox is a blip on the radar. No need to panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth that we will get will probably cause people to start vomiting. Seriously. Watch what happens when they realize how badly they have been duped. Yes, some of the brainwashed will stay lost, but that’s always been true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That outcome would be ‘tres bean’, as we Anglos learned in French class. Your theories sound plausible, but you forgot to include mixing a little politics in the stew. We see how political parties use the fear of covid to try and give themselves a rise. And a mighty rise it is- fear of death, from an unseen and all-pervasive enemy, where only strict compliance with the government will save you. I’m seeing it right now as I type this in the workplace lunchroom. Despite having been told that there is no need for masking, these types are even more afraid. ===== I advance unmasked and wherever I may go frightened creatures scurry from me leaping, to and fro seeking safe spaces from what they do not know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
