@ZubyMusic: 20 Things I've Learned (Or Had Confirmed) About Humanity During The 'Pandemic'
1/ Most people would rather be in the majority, than be right.
2/ At least 20% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.
3/ Fear of death is only rivalled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.
4/ Propaganda is just as effective in the modern day as it was 100 years ago. Access to limitless information has not made the average person any wiser.
5/ Anything and everything can and will be politicised by the media, government, and those who trust them.
6/ Many politicians and large corporations will gladly sacrifice human lives if it is conducive to their political and financial aspirations.
7/ Most people believe the government acts in the best interests of the people. Even many who are vocal critics of the government.
8/ Once they have made up their mind, most people would rather to commit to being wrong, than admit they were wrong.
9/ Humans can be trained and conditioned quickly and relatively easily to significantly alter their behaviours - for better or worse.
10/ When sufficiently frightened, most people will not only accept authoritarianism, but demand it.
11/ People who are dismissed as 'conspiracy theorists' are often well researched and simply ahead of the mainstream narrative.
12/ Most people value safety and security more than freedom and liberty, even if said 'safety' is merely an illusion.
13/ Hedonic adaptation occurs in both directions, and once inertia sets in, it is difficult to get people back to 'normal'.
14/ A significant % of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
15/ 'The Science' has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.
16/ Most people care more about looking like they are doing the right thing, rather than actually doing the right thing.
17/ Politics, the media, science, and the healthcare industries are all corrupt, to varying degrees. Scientists and doctors can be bought as easily as politicians.
18/ If you make people comfortable enough, they will not revolt. You can keep millions docile as you strip their rights, by giving them money, food, and entertainment.
19/ Modern people are overly complacent and lack vigilance when it comes to defending their own freedoms from government overreach.
20/ It's easier to fool a person than to convince them that they have been fooled.
Bonus thought:
21/ Most people are fairly compassionate and have good intentions (this is good)
As a result, most people deeply struggle to understand that some people, including our 'leaders', CAN have malicious or perverse intentions (this is bad).

Поэтому надо сначала узнать, кто и откуда этот @ZubyMusic. Догадываюсь, что из Твиттера.
Твиттер изначально придумали для детей, но потом он стал популярен у политиков и разработчиков компьютерных игр, чтобы охватить таргет одиенс.

А что это меняет?
Первым пунктом своего повествования он заявляет , что знает что есть right и что есть wrong , что делает чтение всех последующих пунктов бессмысленным , ибо как опыт показывает, что никто не знает что есть right и что есть wrong , в лучшем случае после жизни нынешнего поколения и то не факт.

А я вот за время пандемии понял как хорошо что ничего серьзного не произошло кроме болячки. Болячка то ладно, пройдет, а будь что серьезней люди бы показали бы себя в полной красе. Будь то фошизды что напали или там какой катаклизьм. Толпы бы кричали бы что политруки нас обманывают, и фошизды нам хотят только хорошего, другие бы что ихнее право это на войну не являтца - что тут за тоталитаризм и отсутствие свободы? Третьи бы кричали бы что так нам и надо, и Трюмо во всем виноват, мудак этакий.

Кстати, если абстрагироваться от ковыдлы, то эти утверждения выглядят гораздо менее спорно...
