THIS Is the most important take-away:

"The idea that someone needs to be in charge of deciding what's true and false on behalf of the rank-and-file citizenry is becoming more and more widely accepted, and it's plainly irrational."

We've seen this idea brought in with the pandemic mania, and now being pushed regarding the escalating war in Ukraine, the climate hysteria, and whatever other narrative items they want us to believe.

Whatever the truth or otherwise of any of these things, the fact that we are not allowed to discuss them, or even openly consider contrary facts or alternative analysis, is deeply worrisome. It's an assault on science, rationality, freedom of speech and freedom of thought. It's an assault on every advance our Western civilisation has made since the Dark Ages, when heresy was banned and had to be punished, stomped out, and killed.

That so many people are not seeing this is itself a sign they are already captured.

And we are heading back fast to the exact same imposition of thought control.

Maybe worse...

Not exactly a Foxworthy fan but one could change the words to one of his comedy sketches...

You might be a sheeple if you oppose the last war but not the current one.

You might be a sheeple if you still blame the unvaxxed for the pandemic.

You might be a sheeple if you still think we live in a democracy.

You might be a sheeple if you play for the blue or the red team.

You probably are a sheeple if you don't question everything.
