I’m fast losing what little respect or admiration I’ve had for any of the pop culture personalities I’ve enjoyed over the years. The COVID madness has exposed many of them for the authoritarian bigots they truly are, who appear to care not a whit for the plight of the millions of lockdown victims, isolated and unemployed. No, instead they marshal their talents in the service of lockdown propaganda, while insulting and smearing those who would question the COVID doomsday ideology, or, heaven forbid, resist.
Case in point: Jason Isaacs, esteemed British actor, has recently said that people who refuse to wear masks, or even wear them improperly, should be “hanging in the streets”. He later clarified that he referred to public stockades, but it does sound like he wouldn’t mind watching the execution of the reprobates who refuse to submit to mask fundamentalism. He openly wishes that they be locked up for this non-conformity.
Now, this is Saudi Arabia-level religious totalitarianism right here, but Isaacs will never see the connection because he is a complete fool. And because he’s a fool, he’ll never see his role in advocating for a very real, very ancient form of totalitarianism. Does he know anything at all about the real statistics surrounding COVID mortality? Does he know anything at all that he’s not spoon-fed? Of course not. None of these millionaire super-egos know anything. But the most dangerous aspect of them is their complete conviction in what they say.
