Fear And The Need To Feel Safe: A Coronadoom Tale Dear Daily Prophecy Reader, Below, you’ll find an excerpt from this update from William Briggs. Keep scrolling… So I was walking down the street maskless — which is no harm to anybody since I do not obviously have the disease. All deaths are COVID deaths. For there is no disease but COVID. Bless be the COVID, destroyer of worlds. A young man, twenty to thirty, thin, likely a soyboy, was passing. He saw me, put his head against a wall, closed his eyes, and pinched his masked nose, lest he catch a whiff of my exhalation. I passed, he resumed walking. There is no liberty this young man would not surrender to feel safe. What government would turn down his pleas for feelings of safety? Few, it turns out. Because this man’s whispering, shivering, weeping, pathetic plea is not alone. His voice is added to by millions and millions, hundreds of millions. Their complaints have been heard! The government has responded. In acting, government officials feared for their own skins. Not in catching the disease. All deaths are COVID deaths. For there is no disease but COVID. Bless be the COVID, destroyer of worlds. No, they feared being blamed for the inevitable unpreventable deaths that occur. Our effeminate culture cannot abide bad things. All bad things are preventable, we think, if only enough people cared. If the inevitable deaths happened in the absence of useless, and even harmful, rules and restrictions, the people would not understand. They would blame the lack of caring. They would require a sacrifice. Government officials knew and know it would be them. They would be kicked out of their sinecures and money-funneling positions (see e.g. Tony Bobulinsky) and onto the streets, there to mix with the deplorables. So officials gave orders proving they care, and making sure everybody else had to prove they cared, too. It’s the caring that counts. Intention is all. Feelings create reality. In our book, we quote (as many do) CS Lewis: Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
