People in the West had Lost Their Moral Compass
Popular and 'Expert' Opinions had Replaced Objective Morality
Indeed, it seems to me now that majority of Western people wouldn't recognize really evil things like fascism or child abuse even right in front of them, if they wouldn't be 'properly and universally condemned' in all their mainstream media and social circles. If, however, mainstream media and establishment politicians wouldn't condemn fascism, and, moreover, PRAISE it, majority of people would go along with it. That is terrifying, but sadly true.
I first realized it during COVID Pharma fascism. It was clear for me from the VERY BEGINNING that something was VERY wrong with both COVID narrative and COVID policies, but majority of people kept trusting establishment propaganda despite its countless contradictions, and, hence, didn't really mind such illiberal and even totalitarian policies as draconian lockdowns and mask mandates.
But alright, during first year of COVID we ALL at least were in the same boat (though in truth even here not really, the elite had always violated their own COVID 'rules', was throwing secret parties all the time when the rest of was on the lockdown, going everywhere maskless, etc., but it's another question). There was no discrimination, no dividing us into two-tier society of 'privileged' and oppressed' groups. We regular people all were equally oppressed by lockdowns and mask mandates. And when we ALL are equally oppressed, we tend not to notice the oppression. Hence, it might be understandable that many people still didn't see that something clearly wrong and evil was going on.
However, when vax mandates came and brought with them a truly fascist, evil and actually unscientific discrimination of unvaccinated people, we were NOT ALL in the same boat anymore. There was already a two-tier society and fascist discrimination of one big group of people - unvaccinated. Yet, majority of vaccinated individuals STILL went along with this glaring Pharma fascism and accepted it just as one more 'essential medical rule'! As if it was NOT the most brutal and evil violation of human rights since Nazi days. Moreover, majority really failed to see that anything was amiss at all! They took actual fascism as pretty normal and ordinary thing. This is what shocked me the most - that actual 100% evil and not justifiable fascism was rapidly unraveling in our society, and majority were pretty much alright with it! Incredible.
What was worse that majority of Western people NOT only went along with actual ugly Pharma fascism, they even PRAISED it as 'highly moral and virtuous policies'! They put ALL the blame on their unvaccinated fellows, accusing them literally of a manslaughter, despite there was ZERO scientific evidence for that! So, vaccinated majority had viciously slandered unvaccinated minority and demonized them for exercising their basic Constitutional right to REFUSE a drug! Again, unbelievable, HOW LOW majority of people fell back then.
Now we are seeing equally evil and NOT justifiable Russophobic fascism unraveling in some European countries (most notably Finland, Poland and Baltic states). It takes shape of ugly, racist discrimination of innocent Russian people like banning visas for them, taking their properties away, kicking Russian students out of European universities, etc. It does NOTHING to stop Putin or help Ukraine. It's PURE FASCISM, PURE RACIST DISCRIMINATION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE! Yet majority of say Finnish or Polish people not only go along with this shit but even PRAISE it as 'highly moral and virtuous' policies! So, fascism is 'virtuous' now! Again, just like it was with COVID vax fascism.
Now, WHY could that be? WHY SO MANY regular, ordinary people could completely lose all their humanity in an instant and NOT only go along with actual ugly fascism, but EVEN PRAISE IT? Some argue it's just mainstream media propaganda. Others would go further and say that there is a mean streak in majority of people which makes them actually ENJOY being complete assholes to their fellows provided they could get away with it. I do agree with both of it but I do believe that there are some much deeper factors at play though.
So what's the reason for this terrifying acceptance of actual fascism in our societies, in my view? The point is that majority of people in the West completely LOST their inner moral compass and together with it - any ability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. Hence, majority of people now are totally incapable of thinking for THEMSELVES and, hence, evaluating what's right and what's wrong. Hence, having lost their inner moral compass, they increasingly rely on OTHERS' OPINIONS to see what's good and what's evil. Among other's opinions, POPULAR opinions and EXPERT opinions matter the most for them. Hence, majority of people take popular and expert opinions as an absolute truth!
The problem with this is glaringly obvious. Say, the experts are corrupt and popular opinions are being craftily MANUFACTURED by media propaganda (which I believe to be the case)? Then where does it land majority of people who rely on those opinions so much? On the wrong side of history, right. Supporting book burning and censorship, discrimination and fascism, and EVEN child abuse and pedophilia! The reason for this shit is SIMPLE - people do NOT think for themselves any longer! So, if their propagandist media and corrupt 'experts' and politicians do NOT condemn fascist discrimination or child abuse, these people see NO ANY PROBLEM with any of that whatsoever as well! This is again scary and terrifying even, but it's true.
Now, WHY had modern Western generation lost its moral compass? It is ofc a very complex problem but I believe the core reason of it is a moral relativism of Leftist postmodernist philosophy. According to it, there is NO OBJECTIVE TRUTH and NO OBJECTIVE MORALITY! Everything is just a social construct. But if this is indeed the case and there is nothing OBJECTIVELY good and bad, then pretty much ANYTHING can be accepted or, in the contrary, rejected in our society if society decides so. That is, pedophilia and fascism aren't bad per se and, hence, could be accepted at certain conditions. Conversely, for example individual rights and freedoms aren't good thing per se, and, hence, might be taken away from us again, at certain conditions. And those 'conditions' are determined by those who holds power currently, according to postmodernist sick theories. Now, do you see the whole evil of that? Pedophilia and fascism could be ACCEPTED, if powerful would decide so for the 'greater good', and, equally, our basic human rights and freedoms might be taken away from us again, for the 'greater good'. That kinda explains a great deal of all the illiberal and openly fascist shit of last three years in the West, eh?
Again, this shit works BOTH WAYS. That is, it makes people accept really ugly shit like fascism and pedophilia if it becomes a 'popular opinion', and to reject really good stuff like individual freedoms and human rights if they are becoming 'unpopular'. Because in our postmodern, morally relativist society objective morality is replaced with POPULAR OPINIONS (and to lesser degree experts opinions) which now dictate to us what is good and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong. And those popular opinions are manufactured by our billionaire and corporate elite via mainstream propagandist media. How convenient for them, eh?
So, for example, what was a popular opinion during COVID times? Right, that unvaccinated people are 'bad, evil, irresponsible, selfish, moronic, stupid', etc. That they 'do not care of the greater good and safety of all the society but only of their OWN comfort', that they 'endanger the rest of the population', that they're also 'very stupid to believe all kinds of conspiracy theories', etc. Now we know that NONE of that was true - that unvaccinated people didn't endanger anyone, that 'vaccines' didn't stop the spread of the virus and weren't even proper vaccines, and that most of so-called 'conspiracy theories' actually came true. So, popular opinions about unvaccinated people were 100% WRONG, and, hence, their fascist discrimination which they used to justify had ZERO scientific basis.
But this is the key point of all this shit. Popular opinions are NOT NECESSARILY CORRECT ONES! Popular opinions do NOT necessarily reflect neither the truth nor the morality even. Again, geocentric theory was a popular opinion once. Racism, homophobia and sexism were popular opinions for LONG TIME. Again, we CANNOT rely on popular opinions in ANY WAYS. Even less so, we should NEVER replace OBJECTIVE TRUTH AND MORALITY with popular opinions. It’s a way straight into abyss where we all are heading now at the full speed.
