It Wasn’t The “Virus” That Crashed The Economy, It Was The People Who Obeyed

Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,

Most atrocities in human history have all been committed by individuals and agents of government who were “just following orders” or “just obeying the law.”  The virus didn’t give any orders. It was the people who obeyed the commands of tyrants that crashed the economy and ruined the livelihoods of others.

Most human beings still think like slaves.  Instead of asking questions or using critical thinking skills to ask if something is right before doing it, they simply obey perceived “authority”.  The truth is, this lockdown is the fault of everyone who complied and everyone who used forced to exact revenge on those who disobeyed.  It was the same in all tyrannical takeovers in history.

The mainstream media keeps blaming the economic devastation on the coronavirus, but it wasn’t the fault of a virus.  It was the fault of the government and the slave mentality of the police and the public willingly obeying their commands.

Mainstream media outlets are still trying desperately to spin the narrative and fault the “invisible enemy” for the very real toll on human life the government’s overreaction has already caused.  This is nothing more than propaganda, and once you pick it up, you’ll be able to see it.  The media doesn’t want you to put the blame where it belongs and figure things out for yourself, so they hide behind deception headlines that will keep you in fear of COVID-19 as long as possible.

This is all a part of the larger plan to keep the public panicked about a virus and looking the other way when the tyrannical boots of the state come down on them.  We know this is what the media does, and we know they are doing it to keep the ruling class in power and the public panicked and in a constant state of fear so they will comply with any and all enslavement measures.

Larken Rose, the author of Most Dangerous Superstition, lays out just how horrifyingly devastating it is for humans to remain unevolved to the point that they will not say “no” to an immoral command. The primary threat to freedom and justice is not greed, or hatred, or any of the other emotions or human flaws usually blamed for such things. Instead, it is one ubiquitous superstition that infects the minds of people of all races, religions, and nationalities, which deceives decent, well-intentioned people into supporting and advocating violence and oppression. Even without making human beings one bit more wise or virtuous, removing that one superstition would remove the vast majority of injustice and suffering from the world.

Instead of just blindly obeying the commands, think about it and ask if what you are doing is right. Do you have the moral right to take the rights of others? Applying even the most minimal amount of critical thinking to something can usually get people to what is right.  But you have to do be willing to take a look at yourself, and correct your mistakes yourself, and take responsibility for your own actions. Which is exactly why most Americans won’t.  Blaming a virus and blindly obeying the ruling class and it’s foot soldiers is much easier than critical thinking.

The police state and tyranny is brought to you by those willing to follow commands, regardless of the morality of the command.  Tyrants can’t have power without people willing to enforce the tyranny.  If there are no order followers, there are no orders.

As one fellow said, my freedom doesn’t end where your fear begins. That should be the phrase of the day.

I had a really disappointing conversation with a neighbor yesterday. He’s a great gardener, about 15 years older than me and a very nice man, but when the conversation came around to the plague he actually used the phrase “if it saves one life”. I tried to explain that life always ends in death and that risk is a part of the human experience- should we stop driving? Make swimming illegal? Prohibit stairs? but he wasn’t budging.

I just had to shake my head and go on with my day, but it seems to me that there are plenty of people who are willing to go along with this right up until they load people on the trains for their own good.

I have had similar encounters that were equally as eye-opening. Totally gob-smacked that someone I thought I knew where they stood with a Liberty mindset has gone full corona-paranoia.
Makes you wonder if you can trust anyone outside of family to not report you to authorities– depending on the “crisis.”

Same kind of experiences here. There are many who believe we will get a shower in that building with no windows.

Sadly you are right HSF. It’s exactly the mindset that has allowed so many government caused massacres and genocides to occur all throughout history.

I have to retain a small shred of optimism when I listen to young people like this who “get it”.

I’m almost 68 and have forwarded it to some of my millennial nephews and nieces and to my son and daughter with the request they forward it.
Each candle that’s lit pushes the darkness back inch by inch.

I have no fear of this virus. I’m in excellent health and take care of my immune system. Life is for living not just existing.

Btw, best damn maple syrup I’ve ever had.

The difference between you and a lot of other folks is, I would bet, that the two of you could walk away friends after the discussion.

The virus did not crash the economy. The virus was the cover for the FED for crashing the economy. This has been coming for a long time and it is gonna be bad.

Things got pretty bad during the Great Depression with ~25% unemployment, and that’s when a whole shitload more people were agricultural. You think Depression 2.0 with a whole lot more people “dependent” on GovCo. isn’t going to be a whole shitton worse?

Yeah, you go with that.

Let’s talk in 6 months.

What are you predicting? Soup lines? Dead people in the street? Homeless shelters filled with 10,000,000 people? What? Tell me what it’s going to look like.

Me prediction: Endless $$ printing, no soup lines, everything looks normal. Foreclosures? Yes. Homeless in the millions and millions? No.

What’s the prediction…house just passed 3 trillion package. Another $1,200, mortgage and rent payments covered. Student loan forgiveness. Etc etc.

It’s the new debt jubilee. Print just enough to cover debt. Fed buys debt and retires it until….

Honestly, I don’t know what the hell is going to happen and neither does anyone else.

The whole article stinks like a picked over cabbage field.
The Alt-Media is the source of fully 50% of the disinfo put out by TPTB. So why now? There were 5 of us here being bludgeoned daily by the “If it saves one life” crowd. Where was he? So now it’s our fault the economy imploded because we obeyed and some evil guys in government share some blame for ordering the lockdown. That’s what the first video says. The second video says it’s our fault because we are sadistic and permitted the Communists to murder 100 million people barely 1 minute into the video,1:58.
Nowhere does it mention it being cover for a controlled demolition of the old monetary order and the enslavement of the entire globe in one fell swoop. And even then, it would still be our fault for not taking time out from supporting and raising families to follow every move made along the way by the bad guys.
Some of the blame is ours, some is not. I overheard a blue collar guy the other day saying, “we voted those guys in to stay on top of that while we were working and they dropped the ball”. Or as Farmer said a while ago, “Sometimes there are victims”.
So we’ve been Nine Elevened! It’s time to decide what if anything we want to do about it. The time for discussion of what happened is over. It’s time to find solutions.

This may be the dumbest take I’ve read. So you’ve got corrupt and incompetent (or both) assholes in the government and media downplaying this man-made virus long enough so that enough people get sick to then incite a panic and justify $trillions in bailouts, and yet the people who are being cautious to protect their loved ones are at fault? I’m not staying home because the government is telling me to stay home. I’m here, and was here long before the official “lockdown” because I don’t want to expose my elderly parents and little kids. Fucking Asshole.

Depends on where you live i suppose, looking at the “official” numbers for my State, traffic deaths are about the same for C-19, suicide is twice C-19 rates….

“Tyrants can’t have power without people willing to enforce the tyranny. ” Should of added “And those willing to obey the enforcement”

This article reminded me of the one called: The “Experimenter”: Understanding Why Shit Happens and How Conformity Kills

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

To understand the future we must look to the past. History repeats, thus, ignorance is no excuse. Multiple illustrations over the last century demonstrate how it often became fashionable for people to blindly submit to authority, or conform to group influence, instead of accepting the evidence of their own minds. This is, after all, how shit happens.
