The submissiveness of Canadians puts our rights in peril

You can see it.

In many comments replying to news that the authorities have arrested someone for violating draconian lockdowns, there’s always a big cheering squad.

People who were probably calling the police racist two years ago now cheer every arrest of a pastor or shutdown of a business.

They praise police acting on the orders of politicians to deprive people of their livelihoods and deem religious gatherings "unessential," even as liquor stores, pot shops, and big box stores remain open.

Sheep-like, they praise every reversal and contradiction, thanking authorities for opening up outdoor activities, and then praising them when they shut them down again, at each step somehow convinced that the politicians are "following the science," even when those actions contradict the science.

This is the result of a country that has become increasingly submissive, with people willing to give in to the authorities without questioning themselves, and without engaging in independent thinking.

People are simply waiting to be directed by politicians and "experts," and are seemingly obsessed with letting out their pent-up resentment against those who dare "resist."

There is a brutal lack of willingness among people to take responsibility for their own lives, and they would rather politicians lock down everyone than make their own choices about the level of risk they are willing to take.

Further, though many of these submissive people see themselves as "compassionate," they have a total lack of understanding or respect for those who legitimately feel their rights are being taken away, and almost seem to enjoy watching people lose their livelihoods.

Sadly, it’s no coincidence that this kind of anger and division is being directed internally against our fellow citizens.

Our weak and pathetic politicians did everything possible to stop Canadians from directing blame or anger at Communist China, and then abdicated responsibility by putting political correctness ahead of shutting our borders when it could have been stopped.

Without an outlet for anger (and directing anger at Communist China is 100 percent the legitimate outlet of that anger), mental health declined further, and we have directed our anger towards each other.

As you can imagine, a country that is mentally unwell, physically unfit, submissive, and angry, is an absolute mess.

Rather than building up their own strength, fortitude, and resilience, people are increasingly abdicating their responsibility and throwing away their power, instead investing all their hopes in the same politicians who have failed over and over again.
