Yes I think you're absolutely right, unfortunately. It's utterly depressing to think we live in a society with such an absence of critical thinking, even among supposedly well educated people.
I was remarking only today that much of the reliance these days on "experts" and "The Science (TM)" sounds to me like a lazy way of justifying your cowardice in the face of contrary evidence.
Yes you have a point. Where we live in NZ is very much a higher end laptop class / retired community and almost everyone here embraced it as a kind of adventure - stocking up on their goats cheese and wine beforehand and doing sourdough bread making classes online. It sickened me tbh.
HUGE problem with the laptop class (which I happen to be part of for work). Most of these idiots were revealed as completely useless husks. Practically everyone I know wore the muzzle and took the poison with glee. Madness.

Almost sounds like the Stockholm Syndrome to me - a kind of bond that forms between a tormentor and the tormented victim if only the tormenting goes on long enough.
But there is this lack of critical thinking, which I like to call a lack of independent thinking. If you wake up every day and blue pill yourself before breakfast you will not be able to think independently and with clear headed reason about anything. This is what many people do I am convinced: Yes the government has my best interest at heart. I believe everything coming from “my team”. I believe in the good….
They would be shocked if they knew the truth. Some day they will.
Earlier today I was trying to explain to an intelligent woman how dangerous Biden’s giving our sovereignty over to WHO was. As soon as she heard the name Magoo, she said it’s better if we don’t discuss this. I said your a smart girl. Just research about it. Couldn’t get away from me fast enough! These libtards are stupid, no matter how smart they are!
I was one of the lucky ones to get laid off. My gut never bought into the hysteria, chaos, and nonsensical information and behavior from "the man". I did enjoy tremendously the lack of traffic and empty trails while walking my dogs. My two favorite "stupids" are the great toilet paper hoarding of 2020 and wear a mask when you enter a restaurant, but you can remove it upon arrival at your table, which was inches away from another table. Good times.

Funny. The opposite happened for me.... the fact that the government shut down for a virus... made me a suspicious untrusting individual of my government. And as a nurse.

This is of course assuming that these polls are in any way an accurate reflection of reality. If experience has taught one thing about polls, it's to NEVER trust them.
Never mind that doing the right thing should NEVER be subject to the outcome of polls.
I'm afraid that the general feeling round here (S.Wales valleys) backs this poll. People still trust authority. I suspect peoples' brains have been softened by marshmallow education, but I don't have any answers,

I am in the UK and during lockdown a very large number of people got to sit in their gardens, watch Netflix, decorate their houses and generally get paid for doing nothing. Maybe this might also be why some people support lockdowns.

This is insane! Trusting your government and the so called experts for ANYTHING at this point is ludicrous based upon their OBVIOUS contempt and outrageous LIES! Maybe when the financial crisis reaches a total melt down, maybe more people will begin to wake up. Maybe when the number of people who were mandated to take the clot shots continue to die at an alarming rate, maybe more people will finally wake up. Maybe when the Ukraine war continues to escalate out of control, more people will begin to wake up. More importantly, if they would just tune out ALL main stream media and use some critical thinking skills and some common sense, maybe just maybe more people will begin to wake up. Or maybe just maybe they will wake up someday and know what REALITY is and wish it was just a bad dream.

I am inclined to think that the average person (whatever that is) has a puritan streak. Lockdowns and Covid enabled an unpleasant aspect of society to bully a minority and feel justified. Maybe society needs a group to be the untouchables and this time it was our turn.

As Peter Hitchens points out, there is always about 20% support for "curfews" even in the best of times - to stop youths hanging around on the streets, drunken revelers, women's safety , pick your own reason, etc, etc.

It's possible the polls are a deception, or just incorrect, self-serving to have the polls say what the high ups want them to say. Think about how polls are repeatedly wrong around election times.

Is there even a doubt that lockdowns were useless? They were part of the demons' psyops. In the UK, CNN is their source for news, and they trat the royal pedophiles as gods. We know that CDC and WHO lied to us time and again ad naseum, but the Brits. I always get the picture of one of the Monty Python skits with a guy wearing a handkerchief hat and pants that are too short. An Archie Bunker type.
Actually, my plan to take the Republic back involves a sort of lockdown, but that's a voluntary one. So in this case, we're locking them out. We have no limitations. Yes people thought the lockdowns were helpful for whatever reason. Slightly like the nurses I met who were proud of wearing masks for about 18 hours a day for 20 years. I'm still trying to figure out why surgeons wear them.

Stockholm Syndrome should really be renamed "Melbourne Syndrome", because #SwedenGotItRight.
Excellent point!
Thanks!

The masses are asses, which is why they are the masses rather than the people running this show.

I am signed up to YouGov online panels. People always say "oh how come the sceptics are never asked".
We are; we are just very clearly in the minority, sadly.
it reminds me of Pharisee logic:
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, “What accusation bring ye against this man?”
They answered and said unto him, “If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.” (John 18:30)
So true. The Branch Covidians are secular modern-day Pharisees.
I am in the UK and during lockdown a very large number of people got to sit in their gardens, watch Netflix, decorate their houses and generally get paid for doing nothing. Maybe this might also be why some people support lockdowns.
Do we believe these polls when we know for a fact that everything else we've been told was blatant lies?

“Trusting the government is like believing the stripper really likes you.”
Bots. They pay for everything. The media coverage. The science. The censorship. And the surveys. Don't trust it.
I partake in YouGov surveys. Sadly these polls reflect reality: most people are not critical thinkers.

With lockdowns, Nice people don't have to encounter Scruffy people.

Stockholm syndrome amplified by brainwashing and psychological manipulation.

Sweat, no. Sneezing no. Tradition is the best I can do.
I could not agree more, and have been aware of this tendency in most of my fellow Australians for some time.
