The '60s generation loses it's soul
Looking back on the last few years the thing that has been most shocking to me is how so many of the people who in their youth said Question Authority, thought for themselves, believed in Free Speech, rebelled against being forced to do things and said they were pro choice, now when they are old and scared were transformed into the exact opposite,
authoritarians who believed in blind obedience, censorship and suppression of all dissent, who mocked and penalized anyone trying to think for themselves, who totally trusted the government and the medical establishment they had formerly criticized for its rampant corruption and profiteering, who believed the government should be able to force people to do things to their own bodies, who believed that people should be fired from their jobs for disagreeing with any of that, and who believed that we should in effect have a two-tier society with privileged and unprivileged citizens.
One more proof of the old saying that if you frighten people enough you can get them to do whatever you want. People were terrified into blind obedience. Very few actually investigated for themselves, instead they refused to look at what they were told not to look at and put total faith into whatever they were told by officialdom.
It is shocking for me to see all these lock step unquestioning authoritarians in tie-dye. This is particularly distressing for me because this was my tribe, my community, my friends and the people I played music with and for. To see them turn into people who in other days would have made sure that Copernicus or Galileo never got to speak and would have burned witches and Jews is very upsetting.
I see a direct link between the non-stop media fear porn campaign of terrorizing people about Donald Trump which started in 2015 and the transformation of free spirits into authoritarians. It seems to have been a very sophisticated psyop to gradually transform the psyches of all the people who would have been first in line against lockdowns and mandates into people who were first in line to support them, as well as supporting war and many of the other things they would formerly have been against.
Now, as all the negative health and other costs become apparent, the people who are still able to open their minds to new ideas may begin to understand just how almost everything they were told was a litany of lies and that the lockdowns and the mandates were far more destructive and harmful than the illness. The whole narrative is breaking down and many people will begin to understand just how thoroughly they were betrayed by the government and the medical establishment. We can only wonder what the reaction will be.

For those interested in gaining a more complete view I recommend the following three substack authors, all of whom are science-based

Anyone opening their mind to investigate will find that a very large number of those who were labeled misinformation were scientists and researchers, doctors and nurses reporting their findings, findings which indicated we were making very great mistakes. The fact that their voices were suppressed is highly significant.

I originally wanted to call this piece How Hippies Became Nazis. We forget that the vast majority of Nazis were not in uniform, they were everyday people supporting those who were carrying out the atrocities. Many of these people believed that the unvaccinated should be sent to camps or tied down and forcibly vaccinated. One can listen to speeches given by people such as Joe Biden and if you replace the word “unvaccinated” with the word “Jews” those speeches would not be out of place coming from Hermann Goebbels in 1937. Many ordinary people spoke and thought exactly the same way, all the while thinking they were good people.
