It's time to break out your superpowers, my friends. Human capacities your adversary is not equipped with, these are your weapons.
The biggest is Creativity, they have none, can only copy and mimic and invert another's. Humans are naturally endowed with extraordinary creative powers, just look at all the things we've come up with. Exercise it, create something-anything, even if it's serves no purpose.
And humor actually. They are devoid, obviously when you see their attempts. It's just more lame mimicry. I think as deprogramming tools go, comedy it is the most accessible and effectual. Done right, it can humanize, and unify, as laughing together is immensely healing.
There's been a systematic effort over decades to dehumanize people. Recognize it. "Identity" issues are a big one, labeling ourselves, black, white, gay, straight, liberal, conservative, personality types, etc & everything in between (always more), they all serve to dehumanize.
It's really gone into overdrive with identity politics & a bazillion genders. When ya hear the word, "identity" or speak, "I identify as.." Stop. Just stop. Identity is the artificial replacement for an individual. An individual is a WHO, an 'identity' is a WHAT, a thing, an it.
It's important, as cruelty is the result of dehumanization. And these masks are a huge leap in that direction. Your brain can't help it, a faceless being becomes less human.
If you want to see more kindness in the realm, you must reject anything and everything that dehumanizes.
If your state shows rising covid cases, or deaths, it's fair to ask what CT threshold they are using for PCR tests. It's rigged to raise cases. Should be a standard set across the board. If it's 40, then expect never ending cases. 30 should be the max, have heard <24 recommended.
