Hello, Kimberly! I'm also subscribed to Nick Johnson's channel and am truly saddened at the state of our nation. A young man that I've known since he was a child who now has a thriving lawn / landscaping business down here in Florida posted a story on social media about a guy trying to trade some heroin for fuel for a weed eater! Every now and then I watch videos from Russia, where the hosts just walk around certain cities such as Moscow, and one can't help but notice how clean the cities are. One channel is RussiaPlus and another is Zangieff. They're interesting! The streets are garbage, graffiti and excrement free, no tents lining the sidewalks and highways... Either they're better at hiding a homeless problem or they just don't put up with it and/or provide better services? And the pedestrians are trim and well dressed. I don't buy into any of the Russia hate and while I know their president is no angel, it appears that they're proud of their country - something that we've lost along the way.
I would have a great deal more respect for Russians if more of them had stood up against the quaxxines. It is estimated that somewhere around half of Russians got the quaxx. Congolese Africans have some of the lowest population rates in the world, and Western Africans in general seem to have avoided the quax and presumably the hype. Good for them, because it's probably going to be up to them to repopulate the human race in a few hundred years. As much as this country is falling apart (don't I know it, I live in ILLINOIS, for heaven's sake, I am here in the front lines) there were large factions of us in the US who stood against the quaxxines despite a great deal of pressure. If we had not done so from the beginning, most of the US would have gone the way of New Zealand, Australia, Germany, and Canada. There's something to be said for the stubborn and ugly People of Walmart. Since the quaxx's egregore is intertwined with salary class aspirations and is a way of saying to Mammon and Paimon "I will do whatever it takes to be in your exclusive country club", Americans of the downwardly-mobile sort represented the staunchest part of the resistance.
So many on the right seem to idolize Putin as some kind of savior of Europe, yet these same people who theoretically are anti-mandate overlook Putin's jab mandates.
Do you remember years ago, sometime in the early 2010s when Ebola was in West Africa, and how people like Bill Gates were trying to "save Africa from Ebola?" And do you remember how after a point the Africans were attacking Gates people accusing them of spreading disease and not curing it?
I remember thinking "How terrible, these people are so panicked and confused, and so supersititious that they're going to drive away the people who could save them."
Today, I have to ask myself instead "What did those people see and what did they know that we didn't? Why did I assume that they didn't have a very good reason for suspecting that the Gates types were up to no good?"
