Doomed. WW3, erosion of rights and freedoms, mass surveillance, mandatory medications…yes, all of the above. But WHY? What is at the root of all this? And what can we do about it?

How did we get here?
I’m going to make myself unpopular. But here it is.
WOW! Doesn’t this sound wonderful? “Cancelling” inconvenient facts. Putting feelings ahead of findings. Using “equity” to destroy equality of opportunity. And empowering (weaponizing?) our good women in order to accomplish this. Xi Jinping will be laughing his head off. Yuri Bezmenov says “I told you so”.
But it’s all for “the betterment of society”.
Whose vision of a “better society” are these academics pushing?
“Offensive scientific findings.”? Offensive to what? To someone’s agenda? To someone’s feelings?
“dismissing a colleague whose research reached a controversial conclusion” Controversial to whom? Presumably the people who dislike the findings and feel entitled to destroy the lives of anyone who dares publish facts that upset their feelings or contradict their personal beliefs.
This is utterly terrifying. And we have ourselves to blame.
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.” Orwell 1984
THIS is why our society is doomed. THIS is how we end up wearing surgical masks even when said masks are proven to do more harm than good. Why you MUST take vaccine to keep your job even when that vaccine has not been trialed and even when it is unassailably proven to do more harm than good.
And why, instead of debating and challenging findings and research we disagree with, we “make it go away”. We cower in fear and bury our heads in the sand.
Because it makes someone “feel safe”.
Because science has been subverted by “The Science”. And “The Science” puts feelings ahead of facts and irrational fear ahead of logic and “feeling safe” ahead of taking calculated risks for the betterment of society.
So guys, when open warfare erupts in 2025, you can be sure our brave troops here in western civilization won’t be picking up their guns or boarding their jets, because it doesn’t “feel safe”.
And all those “in the field” explorers and scientists won’t be venturing into the rainforests or the depths of the oceans in the quest for knowledge, or new medicines, or new species, not even should they “feel safe” doing so. Because their findings might be “offensive” to those doing the funding. And that would not be safe for their careers.
Feeling safe does not equate with being safe. Sometimes it achieves the opposite.
My New Year’s resolution?
To keep pushing back against this lunacy and the insane Clown World that has resulted. To push back by exposing the lies and the agendas and presenting some facts and alternative views and some RISKY and CONTROVERSIAL ideas and opinions. To offend people, because whenever one presents facts or opinions or ideas, one is going to offend someone somewhere. that’s life.
Because life isn’t always about “feeling safe”. Sometimes it’s about courage. Sometimes one must take risks in the pursuit of truth. And showing bravery in the face of attacks on our most basic freedoms.
If someone doesn’t push back, then we are doomed.
