How do you guys cope when everyone else seems to have bought into this scare/scam, and the rhetoric is getting louder with this 'new variant'?

It really got to me tonight when a friend I thought I knew said that he thought Jacinda Ardern should be in charge of the world right now.

The NZ Herald has a scary article written by a sports writer that confuses 'transmissibility' with 'virulence'.

How do you cope with knowing the facts while everyone else has swallowed the fear pill?

Hi llevox you cope by understanding the truth will eventually come out.
In the 1930's in Germany those who sympathised or even tolerated those of the Jewish faith were themselves ridiculed and persecuted.
The current UK government is using similar propaganda policies as those used by the Nazis, as Joseph Goebbels said 'lt would not have been possible for us to take power or use it in the ways we have without the radio" , in this modern day just supplant radio with MSM.
It is the same now anyone who goes against the zero Covid group think is humiliated/ridiculed and or marginalised.
Truth in your own belief/judgement has to remain paramount, although l accept the current situation is very scary indeed.

Back in October, I posted this quote by Herman Goering from the Nurnberg trials:

"...it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked [by a virus] and denounce the pacifists [lockdown sceptics] for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

This is exactly how I feel. I feel like I am that one guy saying look guys, I don't think the Jews are the problem you all seem to think they are. Or I'm the guy in Soviet Russia saying there's nothing wrong with the kulaks. It's scary and totalitarian.

This. It's all too true.
