Pharma fascism operates at the subconscious level
Pharma fascism operates at the subconscious level
How do we incorporate this discovery into how we respond?
Like most Americans, prior to 2020, I had never met a real life actual Nazi. I was not looking for them but I doubt there were many to be found. But in the last year, at least half of my former friends and family have gone full-Nazi. I imagine many of you have had this experience as well? This is of course alarming and terrifying.
But here’s what’s especially weird. It was never a conscious choice for any of them. It was just like any other day. They experienced no discontinuity in thought. They were on the side of Good™️, they had always been on the side of Good™️, and this (Vaccine Jim Crow, Vaccine Apartheid, and Pharma Fascism) is Good™️. There was no self awareness, no shades of doubt, no acknowledgement of historical parallels, they did not read any studies nor evaluate any trade-offs. They experienced no conflict, no cognitive dissonance, nor any inner turmoil at all. There was no transition. “This is just what Good people do and I am a Good Person™️” they thought.
To my knowledge Hannah Arendt never mentioned this part — that the mental surrender to fascism is entirely subconscious, out of view from even the fascist him/herself. Yes, it’s banal, yes it’s bureaucratic, but it is above all unconscious.
What are the implication of that discovery? I think it makes our work considerably more difficult and different than we had imagined. We keep trying to speak to the rational mind but the rational mind has been closed for at least 18 months. It’s like the Rationality Shop is closed, an industrial metal shutter has been pulled down and locked at the bottom, and the proprietor is no longer on the premises.
Do we need to start speaking to the lizard brain (that’s what Pharma does) and if so, how do we do that? I don’t speak Lizard. But I imagine it’s all about activating emotions associated with fear, survival, sex, tribe, and instinct. So it might go something like this:
Pharma wants you and your family chronically ill for life.
The only way to survive is to rise up and fight back against Pharma now, every day and in every way.
Surrender = death. Silence = death. You must get loud if you want to survive.
You will never experience joy nor pleasure ever again if you surrender to the Pharma cartel.
Only ignorant people who hate themselves allow a ruthless multinational corporation to inject them with this toxic junk.
All of that is true. But is it a losing battle to fight on this level (instead of appealing to the rational brain) because then we are no better than Pharma? Or is it time to drop the gloves and do whatever it takes to defeat these monsters? I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments.
I find the best way to get people to think about "vax-ports" is to ask them:
"How many shots are you going to take?"
Then tell them the following:
"Canada has bought 135 million MORE shots for 38 million people. That's 3 MORE each plus extra for spoilage and waste"
Then follow up with:
"Israel just took away privileges from 1.5 million people for refusing the 3rd injection. They've announced the 4th is coming. Lithuania is the same but announcing the 4th & 5th shots"
And finally leave them with this thought:
"You can say "NO" at zero injections or you can say "NO" at 3, 4, 5 and the result is the same. When you REFUSE you lose all your PRIVILEGES because you have NO RIGHTS. You gave them away when you agreed to the vaccine passport"
Chris Voss is an FBI agent who negotiated with terrorists for years to get kidnappers to return their victims. He wrote an awesome book, "Never Split the Difference." He has a YouTube channel and a website www.blackswanltd.com. His main point is that you need to listen to the other person and repeat their talking points. Trying to emulate Chris Voss I thought of responding to a family that rejected their nephew from attending Thanksgiving dinner because he was unvaccinated. No matter how he tried to argue, they were too afraid to let him attend. I guess I would start out with, "Seems like you're afraid that vaccination won't protect you. Can you say more about your concerns?" NOTE: They are less defensive. And look, they are now arguing OUR point. That vaccines are not perfect. Voss always states that the point is to end the conversation without breaking the relationship. Maybe I won't get to join my family for Thanksgiving. But maybe they will still know that I care for them. And that treatments exist so that the viral can be stopped from replicating without entering the hospital. There is no one simple message because we are censored. All the public hears is "safe and effective, safe and effective--only vaccines can save us." Avoid getting trapped in vaccines vs. no vaccines. Consider that we need every medical treatment possible to ensure our health and safety. We all need it. And it works.
