In reply to the discussion: Agency Says Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 [View all]Sympthsical
(11,235 posts)The problem with the censorious regime regarding it is that so many people readily signed on for it.
When higher ups in the biomedical field got together with people in government who got together with the media and tech corporations to snuff out even the discussion of it, that should seriously bother people. Not claim affirmatively for certain, but just discussing it and presenting various piece of evidence for their arguments.
Not allowed. And power colluded to do that (and a fair bit of money, too).
All power had to do to get people to go along with censorship is say, "Only bad people want to talk about this. You're not a bad person, are you?"
And it worked. It fucking worked. It completely blows my mind that that's how easy it was to do. Make it tribal and then tell people, "Are you good or one of those bad ones?"
What's the next thing it'll work on?
I have no idea if Lab Leak theory is true. I think there's a lot of smoke going on there, and we deserved a thorough investigation immediately to understand if there was fire. Millions of people have died. Don't we want to definitively know? Maybe so we can keep it from happening again in case it was from a lab? And shutting down investigation and discussion has basically rendered it so we may never really know at this point.
But people moved to stamp out the discussion right away and average citizens helped them, because they were told to.
It's chilling.
