In a past life I was promoted to plant manager of a medium size manufacturing plant. I had about 10 production and maintenance supervisors reporting to me. I noticed early on that what they’d do is come to my office and unload all their problems on me. Then they’d leave feeling better but not accomplishing a damn thing.
So one day I met with them all and reminded them that if they need backup I’ll be there for them but they are paid to solve problems. If I have to do all the thinking what do I need you for? I told them I’d rather see them try and fail than not try at all. But try you must. I understand being frustrated sometimes and needing to vent but it can’t stop there. At the end of the day the problems you’re facing are your problems not mine but I will offer my assistance if necessary.
💥 Bam the turnaround was remarkable. We were always the #1 plant in the system for output, quality and efficiency.
I see the same things going on in the world today. So many people make comfortable livings beating a dead horse presenting us with problems ad nauseum. But precious few take the next step and do anything about them. They play a game of perpetual concerned detachment.
Consequently I’m not impressed with any of the usual pandemic dissenters because for three years they’ve been dropping the problem into our laps and walking away.
No real skin in the game. No insistence on driving a stake through mRNA. That’s how you can tell they’re useless. No end-game. No solutions. Not even trying. The vast majority are professional complainers. And we’re letting them off the hook nodding to their tunes with no meaningful expectations.
Thanks for sharing your personal story, and you're right. One thing I've found so strange is that we aren't providing any tools to assess information, and sort of just told "this is what's happening, this is why you should be scared," and I'm left feeling perplexed why I am being told what to feel rather than what the science says, or what can be done about everything.
To add to that, I find it strange that so many of the "solutions" are things that people are now selling. I'm not convinced with the whole nattokinase thing, mostly because people should have some form of adaptive immunity at this point. Most people shouldn't, hypothetically, have circulating spike that is bioactive, so I don't really know how effective nattokinase would even be in dealing with that.
I will say that fear merchants exist all around. People are going to sell people the narrative of fear if it means people keep pushing money in their direction. It's a shame because at the end of the day, I wonder whether people are actually made better by all of this information coming out.

Thanks. People’s behaviors and low expectations are frustrating. I’m all about results. I’m not interested in hearing people beat a dead horse.
People seem content to hear a perpetual a bitch session that validates their feelings but accomplishes nothing.
Politicians and their media mouthpieces have conditioned (hypnotized?) us to accept their blathering as a solution.
Worse, ginning up emotion while accomplishing nothing is monetizable. So it’ll never end unless enough people call it out for the bullshit that it is.
Right now we’ve got the viruses don’t exist people warring with the viruses do exist people. For the love of God, they agree on every other point of malfeasance regarding the plandemic yet, they let that one sticking point derail their whole movement.
WTF?
Either they lit the fuse by releasing dna viral clones in strategic locations to fool unsuspecting virologists into thinking the same novel virus was sweeping the globe, then used overcycled, fraudulently seeded PCR testing to keep the fire burning long enough to sucker us into accepting dangerous and deadly protocols.
Or,
They somehow conned a bunch of virologists to swallow a narrative that they made up in order to think a novel virus was sweeping the globe, then used overcycled, fraudulently seeded PCR testing to keep the fire burning long enough to sucker us into accepting dangerous and deadly protocols.
Having myself and the rest of my unvaxxed family get sick and live through this event I have to say it was pretty weird. I’m 66 years-old and I’ve experienced lots of different respiratory viruses in my lifetime but nothing like covid.
It felt more like a systemic inflammatory response of endothelial linings the likes of I’ve never felt along with major tachycardia and O2 dropping into the 80s yet I felt no dizziness or breathlessness. C’mon man! This was freaking abnormal. I felt like I’d been poisoned. Then there was total loss of olfactory senses for a year. Was insane.
I don’t think I was suffering from “a narrative.”
Getting back to my original point. As long as people can’t get their shit together and demand an end-game I’m not at all convinced this is a winnable war.
I've grown contempt with how people engage with Substacks to be quite honest. I'm no doctor, I'm no scientists (well, not anymore after I got booted over the jabs 🤷♂️) so I try and do what I can in piecing together the information I come across into something that is hopefully workable or informative. I think the fact that many heavy hitters have sort of published a study (usually not reading the actual study) to argue "vaccine bad" doesn't help. That statement is essentially redundant at this point. We need to figure out exactly what's going on, but people don't seem to want to ask pertinent questions.
It seems to suggest that not all cells will take up LNP/mRNA to the same degree. This raises questions about what cell types may be more inclined for the vaccine uptake, or even what happens to cells after uptake (do most just die off, do they express different-looking spike, etc.).
But unfortunately, the comments are the same as everywhere else, devolving into "Vaccine bad" narrative. That doesn't help us figure anything out. You're just echoing the same thing we've been seeing for maybe two years at this point. Why aren't we having more fruitful discussions?
I generally disagree with the NaV crowd, but I think they have every right to take such a position if done with the intent of seeking out the truth. The problem is that there are some who just go along with the NaV because it makes it easier on their mental bandwidth, so some people are choosing to believe NaV because they don't want to think spend time thinking. This is absolutely no way to approach the world!
I don't like the whole idea of psy-ops since I find it to be an easy way to just try and get rid of people with different ideas. Someone is not part of a psy-op for wanting more nuanced discussion. I think all movements will have these inherent branching off points because having these fringe ideas makes it seem as if you are in on something lucrative, something that many people are not privy to so it makes it seem as if you are in a different class relative to everyone else. I generally just find it strange how quickly people jumped onto the NaV bandwagon, because that makes me wonder how many are doing so genuinely or to gain some sort of following.
I'm finding that there's a greater incentive to prop up personality types than those who are trying to piece information together. Not saying anything with respect to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if everyone's feeds are full of suppositions rather than analyses.
I was fortunate that I only got Omicron with nothing aside from loss of smell, although I ended up developing tonsillitis. THAT was brutal! Many people seem to have had similar experiences as you, and for many people they did seem to think something was very off about it.
Now that everything has "died down", so to speak, I generally consider that not much is actually going to happen from this if I were to be frank, which is seriously disappointing.
Agree 100%. I feel same as you. What the so-called “free world” is facing is perhaps too big or frightening for most to grasp. We’ve been anesthetized by a very cozy existence for a long time. But now it’s obvious that time is ending.
Children, grandma and grandpa, and everyone in between are expendable. Collateral damage necessary for a worldwide shift that’s currently underway.
Everyday citizens are under attack. There have been many quiet casualties and silenced heartaches with more to come. The party is over. Why? The ultra elite families that have been pulling the strings for centuries have exploited the current economic system to the point it is finally unsustainable.
So they’re dangling very fat carrots in front of all the right faces to recruit legions of trusted experts and the ever-present gullible fools as architects to build a better future. For them.
Humanity at large with their status quo institutions based on Judeo-Christian ethics are the detritus on the bottom of their expensive Italian loafers.
Every adorable infant or useless old person they murder either overtly or subvertly is a happy day for them. Particularly if the infant was born in the aforementioned Judeo-Christian infused West.
The remainders will be indoctrinated in the halls of education. Trained to hate their culture, community and country. Ripe for the big change that’s being instituted. Day by day.
Existing laws? They must be either ignored or proven corrupt. They must be rendered ineffective.
In the background disorienting noise must be everywhere. Climate, Gender, Sexuality, Policing, Racism, Religion, Health, Property Rights, Parental Rights, and more… All must be challenged for the purpose of misdirection.
Have no illusion we are absolutely at war. And those multi-lettered, educated experts? They’re the spiritual descendants of the same lieutenants that built death camps, formulated Zyklon B, and worked handily with unspeakable evil to maintain their cushy lifestyles. Lifestyles I might add that never went away via Operation Paperclip.
The wealthy aren’t about to give up their spoils, so here we are. Expendable remnants of a dying age.
A rich person once said, “The definition of a recession is when all the money goes back to its rightful owners.” What’s going on today is an extension of that mentality.
Like George Carlin once quipped, “It’s a club and you ain’t in it.”
One last point. “You will own nothing and be happy” is an order, not a request.
Good format. Exposing vids that aren't a waste of time. ;-)
Comment on the top vid: Everyone with a problem can be used as a prop, and that doesn't mean lifetime support.
When you have an issue that you can't address without help or big money, consider whether or not you want to be a prop, because that is the usual price of such assistance.
It's really giving help to get help, so figure out if the group that helps you is worthy of the transaction.
Regular social relief for detransitioners, and most people who have issues can be provided by treating them as you would anyone else, and involving them in your activities that aren't related to their troubles. Gives them a brain vacation.
I think many detransitioners understand what role they are playing, and it would be rather disingenuous for us to think that politicians will have daily check-ups for people they keep in contact with. However, I think the fact that they selectively choose which detrainsitioners to prop up is a big problem. They're essentially searching for a model victim.
Consider how much discussion around vaccine adverse reactions has focused on myocarditis, strokes, or sudden deaths relative to a multitude of other possible factors. Because of this people will only look for myocarditis or these more severe signs of adverse reactions, and so much is likely to be missed.
For both transitioners and detransitioners this entire thing is a whole new era with so much unknown. I wouldn't expect there to be much help for detransitioners because no one had to deal with so much transitioning and therefore so many detransitioners. The entire trans movement has a severe degree of uncertainty itself which is why many are so critical of the many unknowns that we are supposed to assume are either not going to happen or will only lead to positive end results.
Yes, it's always a model victim who will be propped up. The victim has to be mentally stable cogent, and "presentable" enough to do interviews. If that person can no longer perform reliably they will not be fronted as a spokesperson anymore.
The experimental gender medicine is ground breaking. Drug companies used to trial experimental therapies on much less visible and more marginalized populations such as those third world countries, or in prisons. Now they are working on children from schools in developed countries and these trials are coupled with irreversible procedures which are quite noticeable. But the infrastructure and secure supply to maintain this population is not in evidence, therefore one could conclude that there is no intention to maintain and support.
Regarding the Boyce video, it's often really hard to thread the needle of exposing a story with maximal impact and compassion for the affected. Journalists, pundits, and politicians with great reach don't typically get to those levels with high levels of compassion and agreeableness. Quite the opposite. While some of that can be rectified by moral appeals towards individuals, I think collaboration between disparate people/groups is the only way forward.
Jason Evert raised some points about this regarding his views on the "spicier" pundits like Matt Walsh in a recent Pints with Aquinas interview, which heavily focused on approaching these issues with a heavy dose of sympathy for the affected and their families. They can play a necessary role, but they are never the complete solution.
That's true, but I think the fact that these people feel like they are just disposed of as soon as they are used tells more than just trying to tell a story. This is one of the reasons why politicians or any movement that jumps onto something without care or compassion can sometimes seem disingenuous.
I do agree with that with respect to Matt Walsh, in that the general approach Daily Wire appears to take can sometimes lack that level of empathy. I think it depends on how much outreach people would like. Daily Wire likely just echoes back to their base, but I've seen other people trying to approach these cultural issues in a different manner and I appreciate the consideration towards empathy, otherwise we may contribute to the overall divisiveness going on.
Thank you for this analysis. As to videos, I probably won't watch them whether you post or someone else does. I find it easier to read and do other things at the same time.
Interesting! I'll keep that in mind! I may just provide some videos with some comments for those who many not want to view the videos. Maybe that will be a good middle ground.

Odd, the guy doesn't strike me as a vampire! ;)
Oof! This is what happens when I think of 20 years and 2 decades and my mind decides to go, "why not both?!" 🤦♂️
Thanks for spotting that! Made the correction.
