Over the past year, we’ve been conditioned to hate the maskless. In response, hate has bloomed overnight like toxic algae in a lake. It’s everywhere: on television, radio, online, at the store, everywhere. Our government, the corporate press, regulatory bodies, they have all incited this hate. As a result, people have been berated, beaten, and murdered over the godawful piece of useless cloth that we’re told somehow prevents infection. But the masks do nothing, they haven’t stopped infection or spread. They act only as a symbol, a crucifix that the hypochondriacs can hold in order to ward off the invisible evil flowing around them. And these hypochondriacs hate those who don’t suffer under the same debilitating fear.
Violence borne out of hatred for those different from us. An ugly evolutionary artifact that we have attempted for hundreds of years to overcome. And now the ruling class is coaxing it back out, this capacity for hatred of the ‘other’.
Now that ‘other’ will become the unvaccinated. Anyone who hasn’t received the worse-than-useless COVID-19 mRNA vaccine will be shunned from polite society. “Vaccine passports” will be the new mask. This will have the practical effect of creating a medical Apartheid, where the passport-less will be treated as second-class. Massive corporations will be pressured into only accepting customers who carry this passport.
We stand at the threshold of what should appear to us as a very familiar gateway to an ancient evil.
