The Plandemic-ers have become — for more than two years — a righteous cult of their own. I have devoted three years of my life trying to explain and prevent the dangerous totalitarian situation we found ourselves in with Covid.Mark Changizi Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

I'm reading a lot of divisiveness in the freedom movement, health freedom has the most focus, but energy freedom, food freedom, economic freedom, all freedoms that are under assault today unlike anything we've ever experienced, and only read about in other nations, never believing it would happen here. It's been three years of assaults by government, media and culture on our minds, reason and common sense. Which takes its toll on opposition movements.
Hurt feelings, egos, pride, not feeling like we're being heard can derail good people trying to right the ship as they feel best. Among us are a lot of chaos agents. People who don't want to see us successful, who like and rather prefer the new direction of command and control we feel like we're being herded and corralled into. And a divided opposition movement serves the interests of those who want to be in command and control.
I enjoy what you share, your insights, ideas you provoke me to consider and examine how they resonate with my understanding of the world. Many I agree with, it's why I follow you. But not all. I take away from your shares that which is meant for me and leave what isn't. As you and everyone does. Blindly believing and following what others say and think is what got our society here in the first place. It's a lot easier to "trust authorities" you think are looking out for your best interests. But it's not smart. Because friends can be wrong. And foes can be right. As free people we have the responsibility to educate ourselves as to what is right and wrong, not just find trusted leaders to follow. Trusted leaders often make mistakes, go the wrong direction. And following a herd the wrong direction has bad consequences.
We, Team Reality, if you will, got here because we knew not to trust, or trusted until we got burned. Why would we want to recreate the same phenomenon that got us burned just because we think we've found the right allies and thought leaders? We must approach all who offer us information and insights using the gift of discernment that God gave us.
Ignore the chaos agents fomenting division. Find the common purpose that unites us in opposing growing authoritarianism in our communities, states and nations. I think most of the differences about "plandemic" vs. individual failures that got us where we are as you describe it is largely semantics, some words triggering righteousness and offense, the areas of responsibility similarly stated but weighted for significance differently. I can say one thing with certainty, if we are fighting among ourselves instead of finding common cause to take our constitutional liberties and freedoms back from those who have taken them then we will fail. Take the good from others in the idea and action trenches, leave the bad with them. All have something to offer. Ignore the disrupters and dividers. They're not worth the time. Stay focused. Share your gift.
I like your little Science Moment clips! You were probably one of the first sane voices I found back at the beginning. Personally, not a single person on this planet who went along with any of this gets a pass from me. I despise everyone who donned a mask, sanitised their hands, stood 6ft away, followed arrows around supermarkets, left old people unloved in care homes, let their children thinking they were responsible for old people dying, allowed schools to close. All of it. Anyone who supported any of it gets no respect from me.
"I have devoted three years of my life trying to explain and prevent the dangerous totalitarian situation we found ourselves in with Covid."
I've been explaining the root problems for 14 years. The totalitarianism didn't emerge with Covid, it's been with us many hundreds of years, and yes, it's coming from faulty assumptions buried in the minds of the populace as a whole, not from men with cigars conspiring in secret. America has been noteworthy exception in many respects and still is, but it has often ignored its founding principles when totalitarians found it convenient. There's no cure but a general improvement in human understanding.
As someone who might be considered to be a "plandemic" er I just wanted to let you know that I do not give the other culprits a pass.
