Chilling. Governments weaponizing information they have on citizens is textbook dystopian. The lack of oversight on social media platforms that allows this to happen is incompetence at best, and complicity at worst.

As more governments slip into autocracies, similar scenarios are likely happening in other countries as well, and we just don't know about it. The fact that US social media platforms are operated by people supportive of an aspiring autocrat should be a red flag for anyone still using them. Especially for citizens of the US, where the line between the government and corporations gets thinner by the day.

These are truly bizarre and frightening times for anyone outside of this system.

> Think back to 2020 when just saying you have any misgivings about taking part in Pfizer's impromptu global human trials would get you … fully debanked and without a job

I don’t think I heard about this: is there a reliable place I can read more about it?

It was not that long ago that even I remember you had to be vaccinated even here in Eastern Europe to be able to keep your job, have doctor's visit, and basic functioning in general. Thankfully I escaped it, as I always have been a reclusive. What I did not escape is an autoimmune disease, unfortunately, but not caused by the vaccines.
