The last 3 and 1/2 years have changed people irrevocably.
Some for the better. Others for the worse.
What follows are selected excerpts from my "unified field theory" of the when, the how and the why.

Iatrogenic Shudras: The Birth of COVID Casteism.

1. Iatrogenic (Greek: ἰατρός = doctor + γένεσις = origin)

Shudra, (Sudra or Shoodra, from Sanskrit: Śūdra) were the lowest of the four classes or castes in the ancient Indian social order system circa 1600BC

2. The pandemic became an iatrogenic social experiment. It weaponized fear to reorder social hierarchy into an autocratic nobility at its apex and a sea of serfs at the base. The two were separated by an impenetrable chasm of discrimination mandated through bureaucratic fiat.

3. It was, by every metric, class warfare conducted at a scale and intensity with no modern parallels.
Many aspects of this iatrogenic feudalism bore uncanny resemblance to the caste order system of ancient India.

4. California governor Gavin Newsom’s first statewide order in the United States on March 19, 2020, requiring all residents to remain at home with the exception of “essential workers” indelibly cemented into existence COVID casteism.

5. It allowed a small group to vest unto themselves iron fisted control over the rest by replacing the dignity of human work with the indignity of human worth.

6. There was no starker demonstration of this newly entrenched COVID caste system than the time Newsom attended a political advisor and lobbyist friend’s birthday party without mask or social distancing at French Laundry, one of the most exclusive restaurants in the world

7. This flew in the face of his own administration’s guidance which was so incredibly restrictive that it not only prohibited gatherings of any sort, Californians were even asked to forgo Thanksgiving dinners because of “COVID safety"

8. The stunning implication here was that swapping droplets with COVID Brahmins was perfectly safe while Shudra droplets were deadly.

9. This bore striking resemblance to the social discrimination heaped on untouchables of ancient India who were prohibited from cohabitating spaces, eating food with or sharing utensils used by higher castes.

10. The COVID Brahmin’s endless lust for absolute safety was not predicated on any real science or even credible concern—because they had no problems hobnobbing with their own social class. But on the fixed belief that non-Brahmins were unclean, impure and polluted.

11. The excuse that these actions were a result of justifiable fear felt in early throes of the pandemic is smashed to smithereens when you consider that Congressman Jerry Nadler just a few months ago demonized parents who refused to mask their toddlers as “child abusers”

12. When viewed in its totality, our pandemic measures were a poison tipped Swiss army knife of destructive consequences orchestrating wealth transfers while crippling the ability of those most affected to discern, dissent and defend themselves.

13. They were a luxury accorded to laptop Brahmins who got paid to stay home while shifting the burden of enforcement to working class Shudras.

14. For many students, physical school wasn’t replaced with Zoom. Rather, school closures meant no school—literally none at all. In Los Angeles the situation was so dire that 4 in 10 students simply failed to participate in any form of remote learning.
How tragic is that?

15. One emergency room physician estimates that the number of kids seeking psychiatric emergency care in her ER has grown from approximately 30 a month in recent years to 30 a day. She says that children as young as six are coming in, often talking about suicide.

16. The situation is so horrifying that the American Association of Pediatrics—an organization that 3 years ago insisted on masking 2-year-olds because “Children are incredibly adaptable and resilient”— raised alarm bells on the deluge of children and teenagers with depression.

17. Pandemic policy so profoundly warped our national psyche that a colossal number of working age men between 25 and 54 years old—7.2 million by some estimates— are not working or even looking for work.

18. A record high of 50,000 Americans died by suicide in 2022. A submicroscopic virus didn’t create an epidemic of hopelessness, helplessness and resignation. Tone-deaf policies mortgaging the future of the young to pay for pseudomystical safety demanded by the gerontocracy did.

19. The architects of the house of horrors were held accountable to no one, and in nearly every instance failed upward. The former New York health commissioner who ordered COVID-positive patients back into nursing was just hired by the CDC at a senior level position.

20. Every declared emergency coalesces bureaucratic power structures across government, corporate business, media and academia.

21. This conglomerate functions as a quasi “super state” that occupies the stratosphere above constitutional protections of the nation-state and hence beholden to no citizen but only to their collective self-interests.

22. Bureaucracies are authoritarian control pyramids and fractal microcosms of civilizations they shape in their image.
COVID casteism is the result of an unopposed bureaucratic super state forcing its reflection on the mirror of society.

23. The vapid formality, mindless menialization and governing-by-silos pathognomonic of bureaucracy create conditions ideal for incubation of tyranny because they recuse any particular individual or group from public accountability and also the pangs of their own conscience.

24. A small group of petty tyrants become imbued with limitless savagery when put in charge of the infinite force multiplier of the hive minded bureaucratic Borg whose sole purpose is the generation and accumulation of power and the imposition of authority.

25. We’re now a technocracy—a form of oligarchy in which the bureaucratic decision-makers are “experts” in scientific or technical knowledge and effectively supplant elected officials in controlling the state.

26. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that we are at a tipping point of personal sovereignty becoming an antiquated notion replaced with that of humans as interchangeable widgets and battery cells in the collectivist bureaucratic Borg.

27. Oppose all censorship. Censorship has never about protecting people from the lie. It is about preventing them from discovering the truth. Censor long enough and people become conditioned to accept comfortable lies than risk uncomfortable truths.

28. Resist the siren song of appeal to authority. Broaden your reading and listening beyond the orthodoxy. Disabuse others of the propagandist notion that one has to be an expert to understand basic principles of public health and epidemiology or any topic for that matter.

29. In a technocracy, every expert is a bureaucrat first and foremost and their loyalty lies to the machine, not you. You either think for yourself or someone else will do it for you. Do not let informed consent and autonomy become vacuous and vestigial corporate buzzwords.
