Covid Amnesty

 There's a rage bait article (thus I won't post a link) in "The Atlantic" calling for a "covid amnesty", that is, the officials and their minions who made mistake after mistake about covid lockdowns and vaccines should be "forgiven".

I think that's a great summary of the overall situation in the western world.

The loser dipshits in government and corporations want their high paying jobs, fancy titles, and most of all want no risk and all reward. Don't blame them when they get it wrong, or are feckless cowardly trash, just nod and go along and maybe slap them on the back for "trying hard". It doesn't matter when they're wrong about wars, or other big topics either. They're trying their darndest. It doesn't matter if they're incompetent boobs, they should be able to lord over you and collect lots of cash along the way.

The covid insanity showed me most people don't think at all. They lack some organ in their brain that provides a creative spark or something. They form thoughts in the context of what the crowd is doing. They're wired into them like a flock of birds.

It doesn't matter if a person has a 150+ IQ and a PhD. If they lack that organ of discernment they won't know what to do when confronted with a novel situation in life and they'll just go along with the herd. Conversely, a dummy or a person with literal "learning disability" can have that spark of discernment and see clearly. He might not be able to articulate his insight, but can make the right choice when confronted with a novel scenario.
