Don't engage with the people that complied to totalitarianism that now feel sorry for themselves.
Be it family, friends or anyone- stranger danger!!!!!
These people will be awakening to to consequences of their apathy, complacency and uneducated attacks on the deviants that threatened humanity from a non- existent virus.
Beware. They are losing their health, their jobs, their savings and superannuation. In other words- everything a brownshirt holds dear.
They will be losing their minds, literally and figuratively.
They will be calling you as if nothing happened over the last three years. Acting as though they hadn't abused, pressured and then abandoned you with no empathy. Sometimes with the extreme goodbye “ you are threatening our lives and I don't care if you die”.
They will say things like ‘ well, around that time the waters were a bit muddy' or complain about interest rates and poor health.
They are seething inside and unwilling to examine their subconscious dump. - full of rotting memories, all fears and anything that threatened their rise to material security.
DO NOTE ENGAGE!!!
They have no one to blame, no idea what is happening to them, and they are full of anger and regret (unlikely but possible)
They are drowning. Don't go near a drowning animal or ‘ human’. They will pull you down.
If they apologize and ask for help -send them a link.
O'Brien's insight here is partly consistent with what Bret Weinstein has argued:
"Sophistry is anti-analysis. It is inherently bad faith. As such, one has no obligation to give it the benefit of the doubt or to steelman the case. The sooner we learn to shut sophists out of serious conversation the greater the chance the west and the world survives this chapter"
This is a quote from a tweet, and Twitter is currently locked down, accessible to users only, of which I am not. So I can't readily hyperlink to the tweet.
I'm tired hearing of James Lindsay. Imo, he is the intellectual version of a 'limited hangout'; he refuses to acknowledge that much of woke is liberalism taking itself seriously. I, too, followed his work early on, but quickly became frustrated and annoyed with his own dogmatism. To think that woke is nothing more than neo-marxism is a huge mistake. Wokeism is a gestalt worldview, and provides spiritual, psychological, and emotional nourishment to its adherents. Including liberal capitalists.
At least you have your health!

Good stuff, O'Brian. I think this point in particular is something everyone in dissident circles should take to heart:
"And thirdly, it is a massive waste of time for anyone who ends up engaging the tweet (who could otherwise be doing something constructive)."
We need a negative term for the wokees' comments.
They label pushback as racist etc, and then rest their case.
Our just calling them "woke" is not derogatory as they take it as a compliment.

Anyhow, you made terrific points here. Well done.
