Global capitalism has no ideology … or, rather, its ideology is “reality.” When you have no ideological adversaries, you don’t need an ideology. You’re basically God. “Reality” is whatever you say it is, and whoever disagrees is a “science denier,” or a “conspiracy theorist,” or a “malinformationist,” or some other type of deluded “extremist.” You don’t need to argue ideology with anyone, because you have no ideological opponents. Society is divided into two fundamental groups, (a) “normal people,” who accept “reality,” and (b) the “deviants” and “extremists,” who do not. Your political and ideological opponents are pathologized, preemptively delegitimized. After all, who would argue against “reality” except liars and the clinically insane? ...
Anyway, the battlefield looks like this … you’ve got GloboCap conducting its Clear-and-Hold op, and you’ve got the reactionary (“populist”) backlash against it. And that’s it. Those are the only significant forces on the battlefield, currently. ...
The New Normal Left is obviously with GloboCap. New Normal Leftists will furiously deny this, as they shriek for more censorship of dissent and cheer for actual Sieg-heiling Nazis. Just as the “populist” Right cannot accept the fact that what it is opposing is a form of capitalism, the New Normal Left cannot accept the fact that it is aligned with a new form of totalitarianism. It is literally inconceivable to them. You can show them screenshots of their posts and Tweets in which they called for “the Unvaccinated” to be locked up in camps, and pictures of when they formed fanatical mobs and threatened people who wouldn’t chant their slogans, and they will look at you as if you are out of your mind.

The problem is, the vaccinated don't want to admit they made a poor decision out of fear, ignorance or pressure. They don't know what the future holds for them and they want to hope they made a good decision. I'm sorry to say but the decision was a bad one. We should have never taken something experimental with no extended human trials. We are the human trial, and it failed.

The modern Democratic Party is Matt Yglesias and Ezra Klein recording endless podcasts about overcoming NIMBYism to change zoning ordinances to increase housing density while simultaneously ignoring the iatrogenocide led by Democrats that is maiming and killing their own base.

TRANSCRIPT
MICHELLE: I was asked to reply to a comment, what do I think of people who refused the vaccine, the covid vaccine?
I've been hurt by the Pfizer vaccine, I have CIDP, chronic inflammation demyelation polyneuropathy. It's changed my life completely. If I had to do it all over again I would have never got the vaccine. Um, I do work in health care, so I do work with patients. So, where I work we were told, you know, if you get the vaccine you'll save lives, you won't get sick, you won't die. The media was saying the same thing. So I believed it.
Um, my friends that didn't get the vaccine, I thought, how could you not get it? You're going to go home, what if you have it, you don't know it, you give it to your family members? The worse case scenarios were playing out in my head because of what I was seeing inside the facility.
We would have cookouts and things like that with my friends, that I had a lot of friends that were unvaccinated and they still aren't vaccinated. We'd have cookouts and at first I was scared to go there because I thought, oh my gosh, what if they're spreading covid? It was like the dumbest thing I've ever thought of, now that I think of it.
And once I started hanging out with them and things, they weren't getting sick. And the ones that did get sick, they got covid lightly, they were back on their way.
I had already gotten my vaccine, I had already started having issues and seeing a neurologist.
I totally have changed my mind. They were the smart ones. They were the ones that didn't wear the masks. They were the ones that hung around each other and never caught it, never spread it. Some of the ones did get vaccinated because of their jobs. But the ones that aren't, I totally commend you and I wish I was one of you. I think very highly of you.
And I'm upset with myself. No job is worth it. No job. So. There's my answer.
Actual photo of vaxxer:
The union’s fixation on “safety” was a mania that amounted to the psychological abuse of children, and it has had lasting effects. This mania had little to do with actual safety, and more to do with signs of fealty to the Democratic Party. It is this fealty—not labor principles or educational concerns—that currently drives the union’s actions. ...
During her congressional testimony on April 26, 2023, Randi Weingarten reiterated her support for teacher vaccine mandates. “There’s someone in this audience here today who disagrees with me about it,” she said, gesturing to the seats behind her. The person she was referring to was Stephanie Edmonds, a New York City public school teacher who was attending the hearing. Edmonds’ religious exemption was denied, and she lost her job due to the city’s vaccine mandate for public employees.
“It seems like a little bit of a mistake to me to admit that she thought it was OK to fire her members,” Edmonds told me. If Weingarten claims to always fight for teachers, why did she find it acceptable for New York City to fire hundreds of union members and flag their fingerprints for the FBI?
“There’s a political power aspect to it,” Edmonds said. Vaccine mandates effectively weed out teachers who don’t share the Democratic Party’s ideology. Edmonds also pointed out that because it controls teachers’ benefits, the union manages billions of dollars of investments. “I think it’s probably connected to a lot of their financial ties,” she said. “Teachers union funds are invested within the pharmaceutical industry.”
But here's someone who did stand up for himself:
@nighttimemedia
Sadder and sadder. I've done any number of tweets in which I've commented on the staggering amount of vax damage that we've probably got hiding in our populations now, waiting to pop out and ruin our economies, and always the response from angry liberals is "There is no vax damage!". And I tweet "Get a d-dimer test for blood clots. Get an EKG for abnormal heart rhythms." And I'm told "How dare you speak your opinion if you aren't a medical doctor!". And every month, more and more news comes out, hinting at the truth.
Folks, we have staggering amounts of vax damage waiting to come out and hit us where it hurts. All of you liberals who swear that this isn't true are on the wrong side of this one. This isn't an issue that you can lie away, because the damage is real, and it's in the bodies of many of the people who took the vaxxes, not the people who didn't. That won't change no matter how loudly you shout.

Liberals defend their credentials which allow them to exploit those who don't have the same credentials. Credentials create monopolies, the ability to set high prices regardless of quality of service. It is a way to defeat free market competition.
The funding of universities depends entirely on the demand for their degrees, which they control. Their biggest horror would be a system where anyone could take tests to prove competence in a subject without paying for the years of classes and subjecting themselves to obedience to professors.
- Thomas Frank
Most of academia is less about learning than about paying for a paper proof of status and conformity. Non-conformists are expelled from schools, or failed out. Most teachers do not like their authority to be questioned. Bosses like the academic proof of conformity when they hire. The most "educated" are the most obedient.
Trump was a threat to their credentials and therefore a threat to their incomes and status.
The academic elite need a reason to hate those threatening themselves, therefore they use imaginary "racism", to which there is no defense. The accusation is the conviction.
Then they don't need to worry about the real class problem, which is independent of race. They would be uncomfortable looking at class, because they'd have to look at themselves and their unearned class privileges.
So their faith in the injection is faith in the "expert class" of which they are members, and they demand that the hoi polloi submit to it as an expression of the elite's power and prestige.
