That mirroring is awful and sadly accurate. The longer I live, and engage politically, the more I see the Narcissism of Minor Differences cropping up. I've dipped my own toes in that fetid water... It's unpleasant but healthy to realise one has been unwittingly serving an ignoble purpose.
Isn’t it amazing how so many of the people who claimed to be post-partisan dutifully aligned with their partisan roots the minute their principles were put to the test?
I appreciate the Noam Chomsky inside joke ;-)
Speaking of, this morning, I came across this apropos Chomsky quote I transcribed from his lecture “Terrorism as a Political Tool” a few years ago:
“You gotta control the population. There’s a classic answer to this problem. You frighten them.… What do you do? You have to get the public lined up. They oppose your policies. There’s only one way to deal with this. Every leader throughout history has understood it. Frighten people. You have to make them think their lives are at stake, they gotta defend themselves, and if so, they’ll accept this attack, they’ll accept these programs that they despise or dislike, they’ll accept them as an unfortunate necessity.”
Noam Chomsky? He has succumbed to severe menticide and Covidianism in recent years, but he has made many astute observations about propaganda, coercion, free speech, war, tyranny, and other relevant topics over the course of his career. I shared some of his quotes on free speech along with Mickey’s and my discussion about him in this piece:
I think some who are jabbed, with all the adverse reactions showing up and deaths and harm, are just losing what ever brain cells they had left. Poisonous poison, as Rat says !
“Since it’s crystal clear that what we’re all doing now isn’t working, why not try something new?
Isn’t that what rebels do?”
Who or what are we rebelling against? One answer is “the State, and all of the world’s governments that support the emerging global State”. Trying something new? Become an enemy of the State and willingly suffer the consequences.
Ideologies aren’t individualistic. We’re all (either malignantly or benignly) manipulated and influenced by external forces to some extent. We can bind ourselves to various ideas presented to us by others, whether powerful others or relatively impotent others, and thus become blinded. Perception isn’t Reality. Our individual perceptions create a false reality, what the Toltec sages called “mitote” and what the Hindu sages called “maya”.
We’re social creatures, therefore we allow ourselves to be influenced.
"Free thinkers blame The Jab™ for every illness and death."
Apparently if one points out that it is irresponsible to do this, and that those who do are acting just like those who were blaming a bug on anything and everything, it automatically means that you have gotten the jab and all updates. Or at least that has been my experience with many so-called free thinkers (which IMO is more akin to 'free from thinking' in many cases)
unfortunately since no one is asking sick people about the jab status, we will never know what and what is not caused by it. It is just alarming that more and more links are made with all kind of weird illnesses. It is not just the'antivaxxiers' that say so, even regular doctors are starting to see the link. So we may need a pinch of salt on that one!
I think you may have missed my point. Example, right now there is a line of thinking that any and every 'celebrity' who dies, died from the jab. I'm sure many of them are related to it, but to claim it as fact with every single one, without an type of proof, is 100% irresponsible
yes that is the point I make, too. We cannot be sure because we do not know if and how many times they were jabbed. That is what I do not like in the Miller substacks either - we do not know if these people that died suddenly (or got ill suddenly) were jabbed. No one registers this. We can assume, but we don't know!
they would dare. Well there was this jabbed pilot a few days ago, who entered the cockpit of the plane he was a passenger of, and tried to shut it down.
The substack of Dr Makis at least has the jab status on there, and Miller tries for the US to find it, but for other countries I guess it is impossible. What is more, lots of people, especially higher ups, got exemptions, so you never know for sure, unless they pose with the jab or their jab card. For countries like Iceland, where 96 % is jabbed, it is quite obvious. But most countries have no more than 75 %.
That post is brilliant, timely and important! It's a grand slam, a hat trick, a hundred yard run-back and a last-second half-court swish-shot all in one.

Indeed, James... "mirroring" is an ideal word choice (I should've used it myself!).

🎯🎯🎯 right back at ya, MAA!
only knew his name before he came up a few weeks ago. Sounds like one nasty person.

• “What Noam Chomsky Can Teach Us About Freedom of Speech” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/what-noam-chomsky-can-teach-us-about)
yes that was about the first I read of him. jab dammaged? LOL
Haha, no doubt that contributed!

Of course, each person should answer their own way (assuming "their" own way is truly "theirs").

Ah ok, guess it was I who misunderstood you. And funny you mention Miller's substack, that is exactly who I had in mind
I'm surprised the "Medical Freedom Movement" hasn't yet blamed the deaths in Gaza and Israel on mRNA!
LOL

hahahaha. Touche. It wouldn't surprise me if there are one or two who are claiming that.
