From the State of the Union speech to the grocery stores, masking and COVID signs and announcements have suddenly disappeared. Anyone notice how the hysterical masses have shifted from lockdown-cultism to Russophobia, dropping the former as if it never existed? π€

As far as I know literally nowhere suffering from lockdowns and restrictions has seen a major opposition party run against them in an election, so who's to say how popular these measures really are? Or that they have any kind of democratic mandate?

The haunting fear that someone somewhere might be having fun, the drive to go to any lengths, even rending the rudiments of human civilization through "lockdown", to eradicate joy from our lives, has been disturbingly normalized over the past few years. Let's denormalize it.

Novak Djokovic's case brings small thoughts to me: lockdown, the failure of "democracy", freedom-lovers' vexations, and what is to be done.

In the new year ahead let us come together and make 2022 the year we rose up, repudiated the lockdowns, the restrictions, the mandates, and every menace to living our lives as free men and women. Let no tyrant ever threaten us again.

Repudiate lockdowns, repudiate vaccine passports, repudiate every restriction and humiliation that has marked our world's descent into a living hell. Rise! Rise up and say NO!

Why are more lockdowns and restrictions being imposed for the Omicron variant, a strain that's *less severe* than earlier ones? Are they trying to be as stupid as possible? Or is the idea to humiliate and debase us by forcing us to accept contradictions and bald-faced lying?

In another striking echo of March 2020, stocks were down 2% yesterday. I don't even really mind the drop as such; indeed, I bought in. What irks me is how we've allowed fearmongering and safety-cultist rule-by-decree to hold our entire economic system hostage. That's not right.

So we have the big bad new "omicron variant" of COVID-19, stoking lockdowns and restrictions like we're still living in March 2020. Good god; how long will this hysteria go on? Forever? That's what's going to happen unless we rise up with an indomitable will to make it end.

And to be clear, I don't have anything against hicks, rednecks, country bumpkins, hayseeds, or whatever you want to call them, it's just that they're not my kind of people, and to be told those circles are the only place for anti-lockdown people is unendingly depressing.
