Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting
For many of us, the present moment feels surreal.
For some us, it feels hyper-real.
This plague is pulling back the curtains.
My state- and most others- have decided that liquor stores are an essential business. I know the reason- if they shut them down, the ERs would start filling up alcoholics in severe withdrawal.
The government is tacitly acknowledging the fact that it legally condones the use of a drug so habituating that when users stop taking it, they might die.
At the same time, users of other drugs are having to be released from jails to contain the spread of the virus, and we are about to realize that most of them did not need to be in jail to begin with. Many of them will never return to jail.
The public is so caught up in feelings of fear that these facts have yet to sink in. But they will.
There will be an enormous campaign to try to pull the curtains back down.
And it might work.
But this is the best shot we've ever had.

One by one, members of society are having psychedelic experiences by simply having time to stop, look around, and think.

I’m really hoping this kicks off a trend for the US to become self sufficient. Actually have jobs available that aren’t retail Walmart bullshit. Associate a little less with China as well as other unsavory characters. You know, sacrifice maybe paying a little more for a little better quality and knowing you don’t have to rely on any outside forces. That’s one of the things I hope adjusts a little as we move forward.

This crisis only confirms what I already knew, people don’t give a damn about each other.

Read the article.
The writer is deluded if he thinks this changes anything. I stand by my previous statement in that this crisis shows how little of a damn people give towards each other

Yeah with that attitude it will never change either. Its cliche but you really do have to change yourself before you can change the world.

It’s just that society doesn’t really “change” that much. It accommodates rebellion and sells it back to people. Those of the more extreme end are easily twisted to suite their narrative. Take the 70s, nothing changed and buildings were blown up. Plus around where I am at I get people thinking it’s a conspiracy or just ignoring the directions for safety. People just don’t give a damn about others.

Again, read the article. If you had read the article, you would know whether or not the author thinks "this changes anything".
Pull your head out of your ass for just a moment. We have plenty of time and other people have plenty of thoughts worth considering.

Ah but there is.
He thinks something along the lines of humans are inherently good. But the race is poisonous and corrupt. They won’t change until the 11th hour and by then it will be too late. He’s optimistic but anyone who’s studied psychology or sociology knows this virus changes nothing.

It's rarely wise to speak in absolutes. Many people already care about one another and will continue to do so. Many people who did'nt care before may actually start to give a damn. And yes, many who did'nt care before will still continue to not give a fuck about others or humanity at large, especially those at both extreme ends ov the economic scale. I'm rather pessimistic by nature AND experience. But even so, i realize that humans have the capacity to change for the better which, in turn, may catalyze steps toward advancing humanity as a whole. Unfortunately, there will be some who become even louder in spewing their anti-drug and anti-gun rhetoric through their illusory BULL-horn ov safety.
Be true unto thyself and never lose sight ov the ever-expansive horizon ov liberty through the coronal haze.

Omg hospitals are full!!!! Close all medical services for 2 years strait if you need to. Just please end this mandatory everyone who cant file taxes/unemployment starves plan NOW. I have family in the risk category and its STILL not worth it
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Anti-gun has nothing to do with it, personally I don’t think humans have any business with such tools.
Still to anyone who has studied history you’ll see how overall it’s the same old story
