People who read the history of these regimes don't know how to put themselves in the mind of the people who supported it and lived under it, they just look at the outcomes and think i wouldn't agree/support that
I thought the whole covid thing would debunk that stance and that people will follow anything that is sold as the greater good
Exactly.
The mother of the error being "It Can't Happen Here!", I think that also shows exactly where education fails. If people where educated to understand this vulnerabilities, and offered instead a code to deal with them, they would be adamant on freedom. Instead people is educated only in terms of "good" and "evil", and only embrace the code that they understand will help them deal with the "vulnerability of immorality", going all the way up to absurd levels of illogic to defend what they see as "moral". It's time for that code to evolve from morality to logic.

Agreed, If we look at all the online grifters and charlatans online selling people a story its always some super simplistic good and evil and no room for nuance, people eat that shit up like crazy like bro you're not in a marvel movie grow up

Response of citizens during covid was extremely disappointing and disturbing: blind obedience, lack of skepticism, coercion and mandates, censorship and ostracism

Highly but also so eye opening, I have this memory seared into my brain we had a family get together when it was "okay" to meet again and all my family were talking about oh I got J&J or whatever provider vax and i remember the pressure on me to do it and I was like nah i'll pass, they were so chuffed to be part of this little movement
I still said I am all for people doing what they want but I disagree with socialising the cost/losses to do so, why don't individuals just pay and leave me alone, and they were oh its for the greater good, now they want to moan about inflation and cant see how they are connected

I opposed the shot especially mRNA and the mandate more. I held for as long as possible. I got jabbed with J&J in November 2021 because my friend wanted me to attend a show and the venue was checking for vaccine passports.
I had a fever for 3 days, 72 hours, before I finally took some Tylenol.
One of my friends had a remarkable transformation. He opposed the vaccine mandate and all the covid coercion and nonsense. He left California for Texas in 2022.
Politically he used to be center left and now he is right wing. He was ostracised by some of our mutual friends.

The Overton window keeps shifing left
Regarding abortion, I wonder if they will adopt pro fertility policies like Romania under Ceaucescu once they realize their cult fertility rate is below replacement level
