Yes, that poll is fascinating and bizarre but not surprising. What is immensely depressing is the vast bulk of people who go along unthinkingly with whatever the government pushes on them. They are the reason we are really in trouble - without the compliance of the majority, the government would get nowhere with its evil plots.

I think that people who have received multiple injections must be the type who still believe controlled media. That type of mentality would also lead them to believe the Ukraine narrative that is being broadcast.

One of the best posts I have read in quite some time, regardless of author.

Ironically, has the pro-vaccine crowd heard that Ukrainians are largely uninterested in getting any of the Covid vaccines? As I commented on Euggypius’ sub stack post today, I am helping a Ukrainian refugee family settle here in Vienna, Austria. They have lost their family business (hotel and restaurant) in Ukraine and I had to explain to them that they would not be allowed into a cafe or restaurant in Vienna right now, except for the 9 year old who could take a PCR test valid for 72 hours. They looked at me in shock but were not interested in finding out where to get vaccinated and I did not offer. Heartbreaking.

They don’t necessarily submit to authority. Think of them while Trump was POTUS. Rather, they submit to the herd. They are not capable of independent thought and instead look to their peers or “influencers” on what to think or how to behave. The worst punishment for them is to be cast aside or mocked by their in group. OTOH, myself and others like me, do our own research, our own thinking, and then act based on that, despite what our peers might think or do. Governments hate us!

Makes me wonder if the jab has some brain altering effect that dumbs people down

couldn't agree more with this......imagine doing our own research as to what the Russia/ Ukraine thing is all about then divulging any sort of comments, rather than sticking a Ukraine flag on your profile , replacing the masked photo etc......

Out of sheer curiosity, I'd be curious to see how far the unquestioningly compliant will go if the government and media tells them to. If the government said, and the media backed up that people should eat dog poop because it's good for their health and will help support the Ukrainians, I wonder how many would actually go out and do it? From my experience with these zombies, I would throw out a guess of around 50%. The other 50% would say they want to do it, but they can't because they have a dog poop allergy.

The really extraordinary thing about "those who accept the government narrative, because they are under the impression that these authority figures are here to help us" is that they make this choice after a two-decade series of giant frauds made possible by corrupt authority, like the FDA writing a warning label saying that OxyContin is believed to be less addictive, or the rating agencies giving AAA ratings to garbage mortgage derivatives. To reflexively believe the "experts" and the authorities at this point is to be completely unable to learn from experience.

It’s just like Orwell said in a letter written in 1948: the real divide is not between conservatives and revolutionaries, but between libertarians and authoritarians.

Do they know that Ukrainian regions were in a more or less strict covid lockdown right before the invasion? https://en.thepage.ua/news/online-coronavirus-map-ukraines-zone-division (there is a typo in the English version, it should be February 22 like on the map). And now, having a real war, it's abundantly clear how fake the "war on the virus" was. This should be a wake up call and inspire everybody to think what nonsense they have been following for the past 2 years.

This is the Mass Formation idea in effect - the most ardent devotees in the Covid cult are terrified of not having an object to define their anxiety. These people are desperate to not return to the pre-Covid life of feeling lonely and disordered, so if sign up for the next insanity then they can stay in a tribe and continue to feel a sense of community and order. Seems this is about 25%-30% of the US population. I suppose the good news here is that 70% or so are NOT in the cult and are not calling for nuclear armegeddon.

Even more fascinating would be to poll the Russian citizens about the war and see if their answers self-divide on vaccination lines.

Maybe the triple-vaxxed ww3ers are just suicidal. Too bad they're trying to drag the rest of us along for the ride.
