Nailed it with coruscating wit as ever, Jenna.

"the folks who blocked me, mocked me, and wished death on me"

I think we've mind-melded—see "Eulogy for the COVID Kapos" :-)

You mocked us.

You blocked us.

You wished for our deaths.

Ha! Beautifully written as always. I suspect there's not a word nerd out there writing about Covid who hasn't enjoyed melodious loveliness of mocked/blocked/shamed/blamed. And since plagiarism is all the rage RN (insert angry emoji), I want to assure you I used this sentence pre-eulogy:

A vocal anti-vaxxer, I’ve been shamed, blamed, banned, blocked, mocked, scolded, and told I need professional help. (https://jennamccarthy.substack.com/p/convince-me-im-wrong?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2)

Haha, true, and those pairs are hard to resist! Love that piece (I really need to treat myself and set aside time to go through your archives someday)—it's much more succinct (and thus likelier to be read) than my "30 Questions for a Narrative Believer" (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/30-questions-for-a-narrative-believer).

DAMN you're way more patient [30!] than I am hahahaha! Seriously I am saving this in the forever file--after I send it to a dozen people constantly asking me for my "best weapon in this war," because THIS IS IT. Also I need to do the same! I could read your stuff all day every day. And best meme ever: "December: You die but you go to heaven." #nailedit

THAT IS THE NICEST THING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID TO ME. And you win! You've assembled my favorite gorilla/elevator/electric shock clips in one handy place *of course you have.* I raised my kids watching and discussing those very concepts. "Don't be a follower" was up there with "don't go into dark alleys alone at night and NEVER SET YOUR DRINK DOWN." :)

Your kids are exceedingly blessed to have a mother who is not only a critical thinker but also an anti-authoritarian conspiracy realist!

I am reading The War on Ivermectin right now. Terrific book, but Jenna's humorous takes make all this authoritarian lunacy go down a lot easier.

Living in nebraska and in Eastern part of the state I can say. Unmc should be shuttered, they are all in for this medical tyranny. People with illusions of grandeur run it, and that's the good people. The others are just plain evil. Currently they are being sued for gender change operation that was done after less than a 30 minute consult.

Famous quote from the Dune trilogy:

“Fear is the mind killer”

Fear is a prison of your own (often by default by letting others do your thinking) making…could it be that laughter and a healthy sense of humor is the universal key to unlock the door?!….oh dear…perhaps the secret fear is the fear of freedom? Is it just too much responsibility to NOT be a victim of scary propaganda?

Thank You, Jenna, for another delightfully uplifting respite from the bombardment of negativity just trying to stay informed.

❤️🙏

When we're arguing, my husband will shout, "Let's dance! You can't dance and be angry!" And then he'll do his white-guy-side-to-side-shuffle-with-arm-swing [*not racist because it's an actual THING] and you cannot NOT laugh so he is right. Similarly, I think it's difficult for laughter and anxiety to coexist (*nervous laugh* doesn't count haha). :)

Luckily, our saviors are already developing a vaccine and diagnostic tests....for a pathogen that doesn't exist yet. Seems legit.

“Disease X” can be more rightly described as the new “How to Steal another Election” Disease or “How to Cancel Elections for the Common Good” Disease. The “Deep State” (managerial class) will stop at nothing to keep Trump or anyone who is not a member of the UniParty out of office to protect themselves. The WHO Pandemic Treaty is pending…this is a worldwide problem, and their plans for a NWO is failing. Time to bring out the big guns. Disease X should usher in the WHO Treaty and give them more power over each one of us. Believe me, Covid was just a test run!

Why do people watch horror movies?

Its the same reason people buy into a non-existent disease

Is fear thrilling? And then the idea we can be saved, not that we need to save our selves but we will be saved by another more powerful power; all we have to do is obey simple commands. Something about human psyche that forgot to evolve from an infantile to an adult mindset...

Expand full comment

It's not actually our natural state to be powerless. It's thousands of years of oppression, control and taking away access to the knowledge that we are powerful and amazing beings. Many of us are beginning to realise that once the illusion falls away, we become aware of who we really are and they are pooping their pants about that! Hence the doubling down on us.

Hey on the subject of shaming and blaming etc., I'd like to share the worst thing I was ever called online because I said the COVID spikeshots weren't safe. Somebody did a total rant on me and declared I was A SERIAL MASS MURDERER. (Yowie kazowie!)

Yeah mud slinging and abuse goes hand in hand with being brain-washed. I left a mind-controlling cult 30 years ago and I'm labelled as an 'apostate' which is one of the worst insults you can sling at a former Christian. I quite like it though, the new black sheep term, updated from heretic :)

Lol. “Morons”… the Watchtower Society is so easy to get into. But there is no honorable way out. 10 hours a months and publishing along with monthly reports…..Apparently Jehovah God will consult your reports to see if you are worthy to survive Armageddon. Quite an outlook. Good luck with that.

yeah just as well I disassociated myself 30 years ago (parents have shunned me since but hey ho, that's the price of autonomy). I was a full time pioneer so I did 90 hours a month! I am putting the public speaking training and presentation writing skills into good use as an author!
