"This Thanksgiving, the proper way to show your family that you love them is to stay away from them . . . as far away as possible. The greater the distance, the greater the love."
                             - uttered by some doctor featured on an American radio news program

"Mothers should wear masks when they are breastfeeding their babies."
                  - a recommendation from another doctor featured on Hungarian television

Shocking. I see these nonsensical statements as marks of totalitarianism. That is, a godless system must necessarily make war against the transcendent (ex: war against gender fought in the universities). The real aim, I think, is to gaslight people into following the arbitrary dictates of Power (what's called "science" but is actually "scientism") rather than individual intuition and conscience.

@ Magnus Stout - Yes, I agree. Totalitarianism drips from statements like these.

I'm staying away from my family this Thanksgiving anyway because they have been indoctrinated.

I bowed out of my uncle's funeral because they would force me to wear a mask.

@ Ingemar - The birdemic is succeeding in pulling many families apart, one way or the other.

In the U.S. we have a government funded advertising group called The Ad Council. They've released a whole bunch of (what they call) "public service announcements" with the ad campaign of "Alone Together", saying that you are alone and feel sad but lots of people feel alone and sad, so you are not alone.

The revolution will not be televised.

“Radical autonomy” is what is demanded and desired.
