The Perfect Recipe For A Civil War

Suppose COVID19 had a 100% kill rate with the same transmission rate.

You’d see the vast majority of those who oppose vaccine mandates turn on a dime.

But because virtually nobody can agree on the lethality of the virus … it’s the perfect recipe for a civil war.

At the core of his heart, every human being longs for freedom.

But after living in and being domesticated by society, he has long forgotten his deepest desire.

Now, he craves to fit in. To belong. To be accepted. To be a part of the majority.

He is not interested in being an outlier.

So, he chooses a team. “Pro vaccine”. “Pro mandates”. “Anti-vaccine”. “Anti mandates”.

From there, every decision he makes, he makes only after carefully considering what he’ll look like to others.

Hence no decision is pure.

No genuine conversation is had. No one is interested in the truth. Everyone is a mascot for their side.

He’s “pro” this and “anti” that — and he never sees his own hypocrisy.

Let’s take a quick example. Suppose you oppose vaccine mandates because you believe in “personal choice”.

Would you say that a person who intentionally abuses their health through crap foods and drugs is entitled to the same healthcare you pay taxes into?

It’s the exact same argument. You should not have a problem with this as it too is a personal choice.

Like this — all sides, all teams, all stances — are fraudulent.

And even though a civil war is ripe, that’s not even the greatest war being fought.

The greatest war being fought — is between Man and his self-image.

And his self-image is nothing but a figment of his imagination; a creation of his mind.

And this mind is shaped by the society he’s submerged in.

But he wants to fit into society anyway.

As you can see — it comes full circle, as it always does.
