Excellent essay. Thank you. We need to always remember that all the victims, except the children, were volunteers. The parents of the injured children volunteered. They were driven by fear, incited by malevolent actors in the government and industry. But fear is always driven by ignorance, and our society has systematically constructed an ignorant population by several generations of corrupt education systems, and increased technological support that no longer requires personal competence or self reliance. The real criminals are us -- we who tolerated the vicious assault on our health, our wealth, and our freedom allowed it to explode life as we knew it. Some of us complained, developing safe spaces for organized whining on virtual platforms like substack. Bur few acted. None of the rare, meager acts of resistance mattered.
Correction of this travesty will require stern prosecutions. But that won't happen as long as we continue to politely whine. The tyrants have defeated us, and they expect to continue. Until we convince a lot of apathetic bystanders to retake the streets, the only change we can expect is for the worse.
"None of the rare, meager acts of resistance mattered" Sounds to me like a depressed, angry and hopeless response. Imagine if everyone believed that...
Just a rational observation of reality. Meager resistance never works. We need for more to believe more aggressive action is necessary, or we will continue to fail. I don't do depressed because I enjoy fights, and I don't do anger because it degrades combat effectiveness, and I don't do hopeless because I never surrender. But I understand that many others do. Those who are depressed should join a team. Those who are angry should channel their emotions constructively. Those who are hopeless change quickly when they get a win. It all begins with action.
Actually, you don't do depressed because you consider crying to be weakness. You enjoy fights because it distracts you from the pain, that you no longer even notice.
Much of society is like you dave, disconnected from their emotions and traumas. However, that is not the same human behavior/nature seen in actual humanity. It is a digression due to trauma.
"The tyrants have defeated us, and they expect to continue."
You have written that you don't care who the masterminds are. Yet you actually think you think you can do something about a foe you can neither name nor face.

You are becoming another Fauci.
Unlike you and fauchi, I don't make up claims with no data.
I wouldn't call trauma based observation of reality, all that rational. It is very close in with the Faucis and true masterminds however.
What trauma have you suffered? Very little for me. Fear certainly affects your perceptions if you can't control it.

Not disconnected, just not controlled. I'll deal with the masterminds when it's necessary. For now, I focus on their actions.
