What we're seeing is culture of cribbing reality. Most people are not processing an independent assessment of the cultural and psychological depth of messaging in the media. They aren't considering information, they are trafficking in it.

There's nothing "liberal" or "progressive" about medical apartheid. There's nothing "left-wing" about following Bill Gates and the WEF off a cliff. A decade ago, it was the left that was criticizing Davos, getting their heads cracked to protest globalism.

Likewise, there's nothing "right-wing" about *pushing* Bill Gates and the WEF off a cliff.

Doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun.

Covid dissidents on the left deserve to be called liberal. In the best possible sense of the word.
