These online interactions will likely be lost to the internet 'hole' soon, I would think, and having some record of them may prove to be quite valuable over the next years. A replacement for all the missed real life conversations that can no longer be easily had, out in the world. On a darker note, I may be burned at the stake for my comments, but at least I will be in good company!

The following is a re-post of a comment I made on another substack. Maybe it sort of fits in here. Feel free to include it in your book if you like. Cheers.

Okay, this gets personal, but here we go. The initial Great Coof Mass Hysteria of March 2020 started a chain reaction (which is still ongoing by the way) that, among other things, resulted in me living in a tent for several weeks. Luckily that was in the was in the summer of 2021 when the weather was sufficient and the planet had not yet reached peak insanity. I actually considered to write a book about my whole story, but I won't because I realized that people are not interested in reading or hearing or talking about it. I just say this: Although I suffered several nervous breakdowns and this whole psyop at some points pushed me beyond desperation, it was, in a weird way, one of the greatest experiences of my life. It destroyed so many things that I can't talk about. But I gained so many new perspectives and insights. Among other things, I'm less scared of life itself than I was before "The Virus" was thrust upon us.

The relationship with my family is largely the same as in the Before Times. I don't know the vaxxination status of all my family members (cousins etc), but of those I know, I'm the only science-denying, plague-ratting, conspiracy-theorizing "The Unvaxxinated™". But no one labeled me as such and I don't blame anyone for falling into the mass hypnosis.

I never had many friends, which makes every single friendship much more valuable for me. One of them was terminated in early 2021. We had known each other since we were 3 years old, went to kindergarten together, went to elementary school together, went to high school together, later met on x-mas and similar occasions, those kind of things. Very smart buddy, now professor, highly educated. Largely bought the narrative from day 1. We didn't fight or something, but we obviously had fundamentally different views about all the "pandemic" proceedings and somewhat mutually ceased contact. In retrospect, I realize this might have been a mistake. I now know why even very smart people can easily fall for that kind of propaganda. Still, I have currently no desire to try to reestablish that friendship. Can't say why exactly, I guess I'm generally not interested in people who can be easily manipulated.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
