Are We Pissing In The Wind?
This is a (deservedly) very popular post on Substack:
1025 likes. I’m guessing that translates into 20k to 30k viewers of the post. Beyond my wildest dreams. I get 25-30 likes max. A few hundred viewers. El Gato Malo is wildly popular as lockdown sceptics go. His latest post is essential reading. But even the Cat’s readership is just a drop in the ocean. He’s preaching to the converted mainly. We need millions upon millions of readers to really get the message out there. Tucker Carlson-like viewing figures. We have so much to say, of such vital importance, but so few to say it to. I can’t even bump up my viewing figures by sharing my posts on Twitter, because Musk won’t let me back on. Substack is great, but it’s not the answer. How do we go global?
Anything we can do to help you back onto Twitter? Appreciate this doesn't address your main point above - re that, all these posts we are writing are fuel for the "hand to hand combat" winning hearts and minds. People don't want to admit they were duped. But every day that goes past, more people are facing up to it. Conversations are getting more open. And being able to point to the "back catalogue" is crucial, i.e. "oh, so you thought (and wrote) that back then...?".
I think Substack is also under Big Brother's thumb and shadowbanning happens here. I think its a combination pressure valve and gauge for the regime.
I am still optimistic but I don't think the big changes will come from people all of a sudden using cash or growing their own food, because I don't think nearly enough of that will happen.
I think there will be big changes because the structure of the tyranny is not strong, and cracks that start out small will at some point start to propagate quickly until the whole edifice crashes. A giant phase change of which we have only seen tiny squeaks up to now.
The people aware of all this are generally not the people in your town or mine who are the movers and shakers. Those people are busy all the time and they generally don't stop to think. But when they hear enough from those they depend on about it they will start taking action like only they can and then things will begin to change and accelerate from there.
