There are too many people to blame you wouldn’t have a jail big enough to put them in.
There is an old joke Ezabelle. What do you call a van full of attorneys plunging into the Sea? A good start.
A military tribunal
It’s, what, four years ago to the day since it hit? People want to blot it out. And since for most people nothing happened (no disrespect to those who lost older relatives), it’s easy to blot it out.
Nothing happened.
Tell that to the vaccine sickened.
Tell that to those who lost jobs to the lockdowns.
Tell that to those who left the Church when they were told it was not essential.
Tell that to the kids who lost educational progress learning on screens.
Tell that to the governors who learned they could act as autocrats.
Plenty happened. All of it bad
My point is that it’s easier to forget a passive trauma than an active one.
The country being deliberately divided in two, vaxed/masked vs. unvaxed/unmasked, with the unvaxed/unmasked vilified.
My president, with the cooperation of my boss, actively trying to forbid me from working and earning a living.
My bishop cowering in his office (behind his statues of Saints Damian and Don Bosco, no doubt) and denying the sacraments to his flock during Holy week and beyond …
Our non-compliant opinions silenced and criminalized.
These didn’t feel like passively traumatic experiences.

Ha! That’s a good one.
Well I guess there are bad in every industry and field…the moral path is always the most challenging path….We need good lawyers (Don), good politicians, good bishops…we even need good car salesmen! If you have fear of God you can make any career or profession or vocation honest and good.
Martinet governor and weak complicit bishops closing the churches. Then opening churches but evil Dem governor sending state agents to spy. Clinics closed meant no chemo, radiation or labs so diseases progressed. Suicides increased.
Lies about the jab. Side effects are real. More miscarriages, more still born babies. More males with afib or dropping dead. Even now drive by media quiet about the stats associated with Covid and the “vaccines”.
WE WONT FORGET.
CAG, historically the average societal trauma involves men on horses decapitating all the males in the village. This one, for tens of millions of people, involved two years of Netflix and social distancing. It doesn’t get more passive than that.
Well, if there were no decapitations …
Don’t presume everyone had it as pleasant as you, Pinky.

Who computes your averages for you?
I wasn’t presuming about everyone. It’s just that your description makes it sound like our covid years – yours and mine – were easier than most years for my grandparents’ generation, and I worry about the consequences of us forgetting that. And again, back to my main point, the covid years did affect all of us, but not in the active way that a world war or famine would have.
Millions of people being told they have to have experimental substances injected into their bodies or else lose their jobs isn’t “passive” by any stretch of the imagination, Pinky … But just keep digging that hole, you’re bound to dig your way out eventually.
