It sort of reminds me of basic training. Sleep deprivation, foods high in starches and sugars, yelling for no reason, strip clean floors and re-wax, do everything a particular way but WE won't teach you- you have to watch the others, march 10 miles in snow/rain to watch a film on first aid... then march back, take rifle apart and put back together within seconds 10,000 times, wake up in middle of night to do fire watch duty, do PT until you cannot move, march in formations for hours, etc., etc.
Techniques may be different but it all smacks of brainwashing. Military does it, cults do it, etc. It teaches us to obey orders immediately and without question- just do what we tell you RIGHT NOW!

I don't think half the population is Democrat. Hell, I don't think half the population is male.
Wait. You put Coke in your scotch?

Ummm.
Half the people are afraid of a virus, the other half is afraid of a deep state...
Sorry, but it's more than half that is afraid...
I'm not saying a deep state isn't true, but you're "afraid" of a deep state? You're scared of it being true? You sound female.
This is my point. You either have fear or you don't....until that ONE thing that actually scares you occurs (for those who are not easily scared). The deep state makes you afraid? It scares you? Or are you simply waiting for the truth to be fully revealed so that you can fight against it, without fear?
There is a huge difference. But this has nothing to do with my original point. The world we live in is a duality based existence. This is just the way things are. I believe it's an abomination and HAS TO HAVE BEEN set up this way for gaming/entertainment purposes. There is no way this constant back and forth between two sides existence is just normal/natural.

At least we are being given a choice of flavors with our daily dose of psychosis...
Really, I wonder if they will have a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and sociologists studying just how the hell we all went so nutso after this is over...
I rather think that they are not studying how we went so nutso. I'm pretty certain that they know exactly how and why we did so.
What I'm talking about here is not some new practice; it's tried and true. It's just the first time it's been done on this scale and this effectively.
I disagree. This whole thing is like Cabin In the Woods, complete with normalized psycho scientists giddy that madness is enveloping the globe.
And studying it gleefully. And we’re just getting started.

Very well written, but besides gross noncompliance, what do you see as the larger solution?

I'm not really sure I understand the point you're trying to make here.
Nor who you are referencing to.

At some point you have to just believe what you can see around you. 99% of the USA has no overflowing hospitals and no piles of dead bodies laying around. It's time to go back to living your lives.

Cognitive dissonance can be neutralized by the mindset of Buddha when you dont stick to any subjective truth.
By seeing the whole coin all the time and not touching it. A Christian can even play with it while having his heart, mind and hope in heaven. Psychology is a pseudo-science. Psychiatry too. And it's psychiatrists saying it. Those who actually use SPECT scans to find a biological proof of a disorder. They are still not very popular among colleagues for some reason. It's a cult of mind readers.

Understood and thank you.
I have a doctors note to not go back to the office (i always cover my bases lol) but although I enjoy working from home I am ready to be 'normal' again so I am going next month.
When it comes to the social distancing # etc i shall see how i can react.
Maybe we can make this a new thread, 'Gone back to work - here's how i am doing'
best to all

But the bees are mysteriously dying off.
Not really a mystery...
I want to reiterate this cuz I haven't posted it since way back 5+ years ago but the main issue with colony collapse disorder is that it overwhelmingly affects industrial bee hives.
The wild bee populations are doing ok still in most areas, though obviously we are destroying enough environment to wipe out large amounts of them (like deforestation and desertification due to human industrialization/pollution).
But overall the wild bees are hanging in there for now. Human run apiaries on the other hand are susceptible to collapse issues far more often. This is due to human error, pesticides, etc.
