the fuggers' convoy. 4.

 

1. 4. if it weren't so unfortunate, support for this occupation by members of the so-called wellness community would be laughable. i mean, it's a little bizarre watching a well-known local environmental activist dancing wildly in the midst of diesel-choked downtown air. it's just weird to know people, who make their living supposedly helping folks become healthier and happier, essentially facilitating humongous hardships. every time i see one or another meditation teacher, ayurvedic healer, masseuse or whomever, laughing and dancing on their live-stream videos from downtown or expressing their support on facebook, i shake my head.

it's well known that there's a large percentage of 'wellness' folks who are vaccine-hesitant. and, other than while in the throws of a deadly pandemic, i could hardly care less. may you all live long and prosper, has always been my attitude. and if it were under those more normal circumstances, i would understand anger toward such a thing as a vaccine passport, although in fact that's always been a thing. i could understand protesting against mandates they feel infringe upon rights and freedoms. that being said, i suppose in that case i might maybe possibly and perhaps bend my head around understanding those folks having an initial innocent, illogical, naive and ill-conceived support for the convoy. 

however, to STILL be supporting the current protests here and on the bridges is truly unbelievable, reprehensible, not to mention somewhat moronic. did i say that out loud? i meant to just think it.

it is doubtful that there exists many or any governments around the world today, totalitarian or democratic, that would show as much restraint as ours has. even though i'm pretty darn sure there's a core group of protesters wanting violence, whose sole real purpose has always been to simply destabilize, i certainly would've called up the military by now, were i in a position to do so. and i've been a bonafide card-carrying member of the so-called wellness community for at least fifty years by any definition. 

those who profess to champion peace and love, environmental awareness, well-being and oneness, who STILL believe the cynically-named 'trucker's convoy of freedom' is a wonderful historical happening, are frankly themselves unwell.
