Who disappointed you the most during Covid?
I asked the question on X, and some answers surprised me.
(Norwegian version here.)
Among the options I listed were politicians, the medical profession, the police/judiciary, the media, and the church. The questions, the listed options, and the sample are of course completely unscientific, but the information that emerged nonetheless gives food for thought, at least for me.
Some people expressed that people within some or all of the listed options had disappointed them, but what surprised me was the disappointment many expressed in ordinary people around them. Tina Quist’s comment received the most attention, and she writes as follows:
“Most people disappointed me enormously. The average Norwegian, Ola and Kari. Most of them completely lost their minds, and a disturbing number developed full-blown Nazi tendencies. This, of course, also affects the milieus you [i.e., I] mention. Scary times we live in, where common sense and backbone have disappeared.”
To Tina’s comment, Kyrre Gnaver writes: “I agree. If we had direct democracy during covid, I am convinced that compulsory vaccination would have been adopted.” This comment expresses general distrust, not of politicians and authorities, but of people we interact with daily. I have never thought about that before, but does Kyrre have a point?
The saddest thing was reading about those experiencing the closest turning their backs on them. Karen writes “all of these,” referring to my list of those who had disappointed her, and continues, “including my two adult children and my now ex-husband.” The sentence is short but still says a lot. A lot that I don’t interpret in any other way than pain, disappointment, sadness, and perhaps bitterness.
Thor Inge Slåttedalen writes, “Everyone who didn’t ask critical questions… [disappointed me]”. I agree! There weren’t too many out there asking critical questions. Are there too many today?
Jonas A. Lind was most disappointed “with himself. I took the first two doses.” Leiebyraü was also most disappointed with himself. “Walked right into the trap,” is his comment on X. I hope both have forgiven themselves and are free from long-term effects.
Those realizing their own mistakes have my great respect. But how many among them do we find in politics, the media, the church, the police/judiciary, and the medical profession?
Veldig interessant og nyttig undersøkelse der deler av ett svar fanget min oppmerksomhet: «….hadde det vært direkte demokrati da ville det blitt tvangsvaksinering….» (litt etter hukommelsen men betydningen er likevel intakt).
Jeg har full forståelse over skuffelsen over «hvermannsen» og derfor blir tiltroen til «gruppesamvittigheten» eller respekten for vanlige borgeres oppfatninger på et bunnivå.
Denne skuffelsen over «99%» av folk rundt meg sjokkerte også meg og kunne lett fått en PTSD-lignende diagnose i ettertid etter å ha blitt angrepet verbalt både skriftlig og muntlig, da jeg reagerte med raseri over myndighetenes tyranni og løgner og nektet blankt å gå med på lydighetsbind og andre drakoniske tiltak og oppfordringer som heldigvis gjorde at folk rygget unna hvis det var noen som yppet.
Det er vel første gang i mitt liv at jeg har kjent på et genuint hat og var villig til å dø for sannheten.
Det er jeg vel fortsatt for å være helt ærlig. Nok om meg.
Jeg tror likevel ikke, etter å ha fordøyet noe av skuffelsen over andres uvitenhet, at vi skal droppe muligheten for at et mer rettferdig og direkte demokrati i fremtiden kan være løsningen på det korrupte og tåpelige liksom-demokratiet vi har i dag. Situasjonen vi har i dag pga. av det norske demokratiske systemet som delegerer makt vekk fra kongen over til regjering og storting der regjeringen nå forsøker å tilrive seg ubegrenset makt dersom krise skulle oppstå som regjeringen selv kan definere, som de gjorde under C19, er totalt uholdbar og svært farlig da det åpner muligheten for et vaskekte diktatur og et nytt tyranni.
Det demokratiet vi har i dag gir ingen makt til folket og da blir det feil uansett hvem makten blir delegert til for vi kan ikke fortsette med et system som undergraver selve prinsippet til et demokrati: «Makten skal ligge hos folket…»(ikke hos konge og regjering)
Media er dessuten den som må bære det største ansvaret med sin ekstreme desinformasjon.
En korrumpert dagspresse og media er etter min mening like skadelig som korrupte politikere så her er det ekstremt mye å rydde opp i før et direkte demokrati kan slippes løs og fungere som det skal.
Takk for oppmerksomheten.
As I commented in the Norwegian version a while back, nobody disappointed me. All the puppets did what their masters demanded. The main medical puppet, Camilla Stoltenberg did what was demanded of her, the main military puppet, Espen Nakstad, did what was demanded of him, and the main political puppet, Erna Solberg, did what was demanded of her.
I even remember the little sharade on 12.03.2020, immediately after they were done with the press conferance. They had just told everyone about NOT shaking hands, and they went towards eachother to shake hands, and created a sort of awcward situation where they didn't shake hands, but rubbed elbows instead.
All this got stuck in my memory, and on 12.31.2020, when they rolled out the vaxxine in Scandinavia I knew it was all a sharade.
I heard in April of 2020 by NRK's anointed "expert" that it would take at least two to two and a half years to develope a vaxxine, so when they rolled it out eight months later I knew the fix was in.
Because I have been a subscriber to the substack of @Sasha Latypova I know that it takes at least ten years to develop a vaxxine.
I do not speak on her behalf, but I interpret her as saying that all vaxxines are meant to harm, and not benefit anyone.
