In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
To reject this inhuman Communist ideology is simply to be a human being. Such a rejection is more than a political act. It is a protest of our souls against those who would have us forget the concepts of good and evil.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Your right about one thing.....- "it's not a pandemic"
But -
It's certainly not a "fight for the future of society" as that fight has already been well and truly lost, the final nail in that coffin was drove home when the majority chose vaccination.
The true fight now belongs to the unvaccinated and that fight is simply survival in a society and a world gone mad.

You're right about that but when you have 7 grandchildren your view of everything tends to project forward in time and my fight is for their future, not mine. I have had a good, long life and enjoyed relative freedom. It's my duty to leave the world a better place. Given current conditions I feel like an abject failure. It just makes the mountain to climb a little higher.

Correct... you choose to believe the lies they are spewing.
That is, and will forever be, on you.

OR it's a pandemic and people are trying to keep other people alive.
I choose to believe it's simply a pandemic. That way my entire life isn't caught up in "the sky is falling" scenario that some seem to thrive on.
Besides, we're all supposed to die from the vax, so I won't be around to be "controlled" by "the elite" or those filthy "communists".
Chill people. The sky is not falling. Been hearing this type of tripe all my life.
