I don't disagree with anything you say. However, I'd like to offer a counter-note. If all we do is try to counter the crisis that we are in, then we are still captive to its ideology. We are defining ourselves by the crisis. Instead, I think we need to decide what it is that we love in life. We focus on that. In this sense, we are reversing the polarity. We are saying, this is how I choose to live with my family and my neighbors. I personally don't talk much at all about politics or vaccines. I talk about who are you, and what are you hopes, and where do make a difference? There is a switch that we can turn on and turn off. That switch has to do with whether I am living in response to other's perception of the crisis or am living creatively out of my own sense of purpose in the world. I have seen a change in people over the past year where recognition of the crisis has led to a kind of liberation of their openness to what is possible in their lives. I believe the world is so complex, that no one thing can long determine the course of human civilization. So, where do you find the simple joys in your day? For me, it is my first cup of coffee in the morning. And sitting at my computer to write or prepare to talk to someone. By realizing what we love and where joy comes from, then we have a basis for hope that can drive our actions whether to resistance or to creativity. Now, for me, it is time for a second cup of coffee.

You're right, Kathleen. These psychotic lunatics are on Page 12 while we're stuck on paragraph one of page 6. They've been sitting around their little tables running their pandemic simulations for decades now. That's a massive head start. They mapped every contingency in stunning, murderous detail. What gives me the greatest pleasure, though, is knowing that despite all their malevolent intent and meticulous planning, they STILL failed to get some of us in what's been the greatest, most evil psyop of all time. It must drive them nuts. Fantastic post, Kathleen. As always!
