It’s shocking how easily humans will comply with insane cult mandates in order to feel safe and avoid social rejection. We have witnessed this phenomenon peak over the last couple years. This leaves many of us wondering when people will wake up from the spell or if that’s even still possible at this point.
We are all feeling this isolation. This isolation imposed upon us. Please stay strong, the world needs independent thinkers, it will take more time but we will come out of this. Sending you you a big hug of support and strength.❤️
I, too, am grateful to have found your work on Substack. I just shared your article "Induction by Confusion - the Sequel" with my peeps. Tremendous article! Thank you for helping us navigate this psychological war.
This really ain't it. Of course there's contradictions because knowledge and understanding of covid has evolved as new data emerges, and of course there have been those in power capitalising off of it because those who are corrupt always will. I don't know anyone who would argue the pandemic has been well handled at all, but the idea of it being a mass conspiracy peddled by every single nation at each and every level of power is absurd. Life is nuanced, catastrophes can and do happen, and this is one of them. The pandemic is unfortunately real and, however it may have begun, there is a responsibility to take reasonable measures to protect one another.
Meredith's videos on narcissistic abuse have helped me immensely in the past, and I'm very grateful to her for these. I think there is an obvious tendency now to view things excessively through the lens of narcissistic abuse, which I see as dangerous as not everything fits so neatly within this paradigm. There may appear to be parallels, granted, but a similarity does not the same thing make.
Sorry to burst your bubble but we are goose stepping our way towards totalitarianism. I can see you are on the fence or you wouldn’t be here but I could link you to quite literally thousands of videos to watch but even Del Bigtree was convinced after he watched this:
I have a decent understanding of both fascism and communism (and other totalitarian governments), and can for sure see where people are seeing apparent parallels, but I just don't think a parallel means this is the same thing. As deeply cynical as I am of almost anyone in positions of power, I think a lot of the fears of this are coming from the US are borne out of the decades-old, and heavily stoked fear of anything seen to be communist, including even the most minor of costs to personal freedom, which certainly are not the same thing at all as communism. Its been interesting to watch in the UK how fears have voiced about authoritarianism, and yet as strict as the lockdown rules have been at points, they've not often been legally enforced and we've now been living without any restrictions for many months, and look set to stay this way.
For me it's about walking the line between individual freedoms and social responsibility also (which I see as having empathy for others), which granted, can be a complex one for some people. I'm happy to have a vaccine, on the basis firstly that a few billion people have received multiple doses and survived in good health, (which seems as strong a sample size for evidence of safety as any) and secondly - much like wearing a seat belt - it protects both them and me. I'm aware of potential side effects of vaccines, which is why I avoided the Astra Zeneca vaccine, which is where personal choice comes into I suppose!
I'm not here because I'm on the fence so much as because I was a real follower of Meredith's work on narcissistic abuse which really helped me articulate my own experiences. I guess I'm here because I was shocked at how someone I felt who was so spot on on abuse dynamics can have a wider world view on this that so fundamentally differs from what I see to be reality and so very much plays into conspiracy theories and fear-mongering, in my view. Admittedly this caused some real cognitive dissonance for me at first. I'm not here really to discuss either, as I don't know that that will get us anywhere, just to register some disagreement and bid farewell to a once important figure for me. Wishing Meredith and you all the best!
Reading this article is validating for me. I’m so glad the universe has brought me to this post.
Thank you for these articles and your email newsletter. I feel afraid and alone and have become very isolated.

I feel same, there is lots of people who are awake it is just the question on how to find each other
Watch Meredith’s interview with Fuellmich, incredibly inspiring and hopeful! She saved my sanity in a way.
Thank you Meredith!
Thank you for this.
