The enduring COVID psychosis

Posted on      by     

The way that many people are behaving now, in the face of the dramatic evaporation of COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, is interesting. Many want it to continue indefinitely. They’ve anchored their identity to COVID panic in the same way that psychologically broken people latch onto various apocalyptic cults. This psychological phenomenon is what explains the behavior of so many otherwise rational people over the past year. The abrupt emergence of a new cult, a new religion, and along with it all the strange, destructive, herd-mind behavior that cult acolytes engage in. Now that their god is most certainly dead, revealed to be nothing more than an empty statue, some are stumbling back towards reality, while others cling to the fantasy.

COVID is leaving almost as fast as it arrived. Now we must seek to understand what forces allowed us to descend into such self-destructive madness for an entire year.

This doesn’t take into account the COVID fascism currently alive and well in places like Ontario, Israel, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and others. They are now dealing with an entirely different problem. It does truly seem that the United States will once again provide a safe haven for freedom, in a deeply unfree world.

I’ve been giving my attention almost exclusively to my budding Facebook group lately, and as a result, neglected the platform that I actually own. As much as I enjoy keeping a receptacle for my writing here, I had forgotten how enjoyable it is to have an exchange of ideas with an actual group of people who share your views. Which means that, sooner or later, I’m going to create a forum here at Republic Reborn, a place where ideas can be freely shared and debated without the ever-present threat of corporate cancellation. I’ll need to hire a professional for that. And while I’m at it, I’ll slightly revamp the aesthetics of this space for a more seamless appearance.

A lot has happened over the past few weeks: COVID cases are down to almost nothing, Oklahoma has become the second state to end the state of emergency surrounding the virus, mask mandates in schools are dying swift deaths. Guthrie, Kingfisher, Elgin, Enid, Yukon (for the most part), and others, are choosing science over hysteria, compassion over the abusive self-righteousness that lies at the heart of all mask mandates. The COVID cult is in full retreat.

Through the revelation that teachers unions strong-armed the CDC into changing its school-reopening guidance, the agency has thoroughly discredited itself and should never be trusted again.

Lockdowns have been fully discredited by an army of courageous intellectuals who never yielded ground in the war of ideas.

I feel that the human race is undergoing a process of radical divergence, and the COVID crisis has been a catalyst, or rocket fuel, speeding up the process. The primary distinction isn’t really intelligence or success, but rather character, conviction, and the ability to firmly grasp certain fundamental principles and not be shaken by propaganda or emotional blackmail. COVID hysteria precipitated a Founder’s mutation of sorts, and while we hovered over the abyss of self-made extinction for a time, maybe it was necessary in order to set into motion this spiritual/character-driven divergence. Are those who immediately opposed COVID hysteria the true Nockian Remnant? Only time will tell. Let’s see where we’re at in a decade.

The saddest aspect of this is that there are actually parents who will trust this monster over the evidence before their own eyes. Masks, “distancing”, and school closures are not protecting kids; their immune systems are. We have an Olympus Mons’ worth of evidence proving that children are in no danger of COVID complications. Let them catch it! It will protect them for life. For the vast majority of us, COVID is its own vaccine. Fauci is just deranged, fame-hungry, and you can almost see him transforming in realtime into a living relic of the greatest psychological plague to have ever befallen our species. It would serve us well if he withdrew back into irrelevancy for the remainder of his life.
