What is to be done with us? No, not those who haven\u2019t been \u201cvaccinated\u201d yet. Us. The \u201cCovidiots.\u201d The \u201cCovid deniers.\u201d The \u201cscience deniers.\u201d The \u201creality deniers.\u201d Those who refuse to get \u201cvaccinated,\u201d ever.<\/p>\n<p>There is no place for us in New Normal society. The New Normals know this and so do we. To them, we are a suspicious, alien tribe of people. We do not share their ideological beliefs. We do not perform their loyalty rituals, or we do so only grudgingly, because they force us to do so. We traffic in arcane \u201cconspiracy theories,\u201d like \u201cpre-March-2020 science,\u201d \u201cnatural herd immunity,\u201d \u201cpopulation-adjusted death rates,\u201d \u201cSweden,\u201d \u201cFlorida,\u201d and other heresies.<\/p>\n<p>They do not trust us. We are strangers among them. They suspect we feel superior to them. They believe we are conspiring against them, that we want to deceive them, confuse them, cheat them, pervert their culture, abuse their children, contaminate their precious bodily fluids, and perpetrate God knows what other horrors.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So they are discussing the need to segregate us, how to segregate us, when to segregate us, in order to protect society from us. In their eyes, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/consent_factory\/status\/1376212910037422086\">we are no more than criminals<\/a>, or, worse, <a href=\"http:\/\/eugeneweekly.com\/2020\/12\/03\/a-plague-of-denial\/\">a plague<\/a>, an infestation. In the words of someone (I can\u2019t quite recall who), \u201cgetting rid of the Unvaccinated is not a question of ideology. It is a question of cleanliness,\u201d or something like that. (I\u2019ll have to hunt down and fact-check that quote. I might have taken it out of context.)<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/02\/18\/world\/middleeast\/israel-covid-vaccine-reopen.html\">Israel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/feature-stories\/detail\/estonia-and-who-to-jointly-develop-digital-vaccine-certificate-to-strengthen-covax\">Estonia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/travel\/article\/covid-19-vaccination-passports-denmark\/index.html\">Denmark<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/berlin-launches-pilot-project-for-theaters-as-new-covid-wave-starts\/a-56937661\">Germany<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/news\/heat-to-open-vaccinated-only-sections-for-fans-on-april-1\">the USA<\/a>, and other New Normal countries, they have already begun the segregation process. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-56522652\">the UK<\/a>, it\u2019s just a matter of time. The WEF, WHO, EU, and other transnational entities are helping to streamline the new segregation system, which, according to the WEF, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2021\/01\/what-is-a-vaccine-passport-and-will-you-need-one-the-next-time-you-travel\/\">will need to be harmonized by a normative body, such as the WHO, to ensure that is ethical<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here in Germany, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berliner-zeitung.de\/news\/mueller-zu-corona-massnahmen-muessen-uns-das-ganze-themenspektrum-anschauen-li.147679\">the government is considering banning us from working outside our homes<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.wdr.de\/nachrichten\/ostern-reisen-urlaub-testpflicht-100.html\">We are already banned from flying on commercial airlines<\/a>. (We can still use the trains, if we dress up like New Normals.) In the village of Potsdam, just down the road from Wannsee (which name you might recall from your 20th-Century history lessons), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbb24.de\/panorama\/thema\/corona\/beitraege\/2021\/03\/brandenburg-potsdam-testpflicht-einzelhandel-kunden.html\">we are banned from entering shops and restaurants<\/a>. (I\u2019m not sure whether we can still use the sidewalks, or whether we have to walk in the gutters.) In Saxony, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdr.de\/nachrichten\/sachsen\/corona-testverweigerer-an-schulen-100.html\">we are forbidden from attending schools<\/a>. At the Berliner Ensemble (the theater founded by Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel, lifelong opponents of totalitarianism and fascism), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/berlin-launches-pilot-project-for-theaters-as-new-covid-wave-starts\/a-56937661\">we are banned from attending New Normal performances<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the USA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/coronavirus-live-updates\/2021\/03\/25\/981215860\/rutgers-to-require-vaccine-proof-for-all-students-planning-to-attend-this-fall\">we are being banned by universities<\/a>. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapinto.net\/towns\/newark\/sections\/education\/articles\/covid-testing-planned-for-newark-schools-students-staff-upon-april-return\">children are being banned from public schools<\/a>. In New York, the new \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/eu.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/health\/2021\/03\/26\/covid-vaccine-passports-new-york-first-vaccination-proof-system\/6976009002\/\">Excelsior Pass<\/a>\u201d will allow New Normals to attend cultural and sports events (and patronize bars and restaurants, eventually) secure in the knowledge that the Unvaccinated have been prevented from entering or segregated in an \u201cUnvaccinated Only\u201d section. The pass system, designed by IBM, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org\/ibm-and-quot-death-s-calculator-quot-2\">which, if history is any guide, is pretty good at designing such systems<\/a> (OK, technically, it was Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft, IBM\u2019s Nazi-Germany subsidiary), was launched this past weekend to considerable fanfare.<\/p>\n<p>And this is only the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2021\/03\/01\/1020154\/israels-green-pass-is-an-early-vision-of-how-we-leave-lockdown\/\">Israel\u2019s \u201cGreen Pass\u201d<\/a> is the model for the future, which makes sense, in a sick, fascistic kind of way. When you\u2019re already an apartheid state, what\u2019s a little more apartheid? Here\u2019s a peek at what that looks like \u2026<\/p>\n<p>OK, I know what the New Normals are thinking. They\u2019re thinking I\u2019m \u201cmisleading\u201d people again. That I\u2019m exaggerating. That this isn\u2019t really segregation, and certainly nothing like \u201cmedical apartheid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After all (as the New Normals will sternly remind me), no one is forcing us to get \u201cvaccinated.\u201d If we choose not to, or can\u2019t for medical reasons, all we have to do is submit to a \u201ctest\u201d \u2014 you know, the one where they ram that 9-inch swab up into your sinus cavities \u2014 within 24 hours before we want to go out to dinner, or attend the theater or a sports event, or visit a museum, or attend a university, or take our children to school or a playground, and our test results will serve as our \u201cvaccine passports!\u201d We just present them to the appropriate Covid Compliance Officer, and (assuming the results are negative, of course) we will be allowed to take part in New Normal society just as if we\u2019d been \u201cvaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Either way, \u201cvaccine\u201d or \u201ctest,\u201d the New Normal officials will be satisfied, because the tests and passes are really just stage props. The point is the display of mindless obedience. Even if you take the New Normals at their word, if you are under 65 and in relatively good health, getting \u201cvaccinated\u201d is more or less pointless, except as a public display of compliance and belief in the official Covid-19 narrative (the foundation stone of the New Normal ideology). Even the high priests of their \u201cScience\u201d confess that <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/can-vaccinated-people-still-spread-the-coronavirus-155095\">it doesn\u2019t prevent you spreading the \u201cplague.\u201d<\/a> And the <a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2021\/01\/25\/who-finally-admits-pcr-is-not-a-diagnostic-test\/\">PCR tests are virtually meaningless, as even the WHO finally admitted<\/a>. (You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-tanzania\/president-queries-tanzania-coronavirus-kits-after-goat-test-idUSKBN22F0KF\">positive-PCR-test a pawpaw fruit<\/a> \u2026 but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-africa-56437852\">you might want to be careful who you tell if you do that<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the \u201cvaccine\u201d and the \u201ctest\u201d themselves, the forced choice between them is not at all meaningless. It is no accident that both alternatives involve the violation of our bodies, literally the penetration of our bodies. It doesn\u2019t really matter what is in the \u201cvaccines\u201d or what \u201cresults\u201d the \u201ctests\u201d produce. The ritual is a demonstration of power, the power of the New Normals (i.e., global capitalism\u2019s new face) to control our bodies, to dominate them, to violate them, psychologically and physically.<\/p>\n<p>Now, don\u2019t get all excited, my \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d friends. I haven\u2019t gone full QAnon just yet. Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab are not sitting around together, sipping adrenochrome on George Soros\u2019 yacht, dreaming up ways to rape people\u2019s noses. This stuff is built into the structure of the system. It is a standard feature of totalitarian societies, <a href=\"https:\/\/consentfactory.org\/2020\/10\/13\/the-covidian-cult\/\">cults<\/a>, churches, self-help groups, and \u2026 well, human society, generally.<\/p>\n<p>Being forced to repeat a physical action which only makes sense within a specific ideology reifies that ideology within us. There is nothing inherently diabolical about this. It is a basic socialization technology. It is how we socialize our children. It is why we conduct weddings, baptisms, and bar mitzvahs. It is how we turn young men and women into soldiers. It is how actors learn their blocking and their lines. It is why the Nazis held all those rallies. It is why our \u201cdemocracies\u201d hold elections. It is also basic ceremonial magic \u2026 but that\u2019s a topic for a different column.<\/p>\n<p>The issue, at the moment, is the Unvaccinated Question, and the public rituals that are being performed to make the New Normal ideology \u201creality,\u201d and what to do about those of us who refuse to participate in those rituals, who refuse to forswear \u201cold normal\u201d reality and convert to New Normalism so that we can function in society without being segregated, criminalized, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psypost.org\/2020\/08\/sociopathic-traits-linked-to-non-compliance-with-mask-guidelines-and-other-covid-19-containment-measures-57773\">\u201cdiagnosed\u201d as \u201csociopathic\u201d<\/a> or otherwise psychiatrically disordered.<\/p>\n<p>For us \u201cconspiracy-theorizing reality deniers,\u201d there is no getting around this dilemma. This isn\u2019t Europe in the 1930s. There isn\u2019t anywhere to emigrate to \u2026 OK, there is, temporarily, in some of the US states that have been staging rebellions, and other such \u201cold normal\u201d oases, but how long do you think that will last? They\u2019re already rolling out the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/lung\/news\/20210107\/new-covid-super-strains-could-disrupt-life-again\u201d>mutant variants<\/a>,\u201d and God only knows what will happen when the long-term effects of the \u201cvaccines\u201d kick in.<\/p>\n<p>No, for most of us denizens of the global capitalist empire, it looks like <a href=\" https:=\"\" www.bloomberg.com=\"\" opinion=\"\" articles=\"\" 2021-03-24=\"\" when-will-covid-end-we-must-start-planning-for-a-permanent-pandemic\u201d=\"\">the New Normal is here to stay<\/a>. So, unless we are prepared to become New Normals, we are going to have to stand and fight. It is going to get rather ugly, and personal, but there isn\u2019t any way to avoid that. Given that many New Normals are our friends and colleagues, or even members of our families, it is tempting to believe that they will \u201ccome to their senses,\u201d that \u201cthis is all just a hysterical overreaction,\u201d and that \u201ceverything will go back to normal soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This would be a monumental error on our parts \u2026 very possibly a fatal error.<\/p>\n<p>Totalitarian movements, when they reach this stage, do not simply stop on their own. They continue to advance toward their full expressions, ultimately transforming entire societies into monstrous mirror-images of themselves, unless they are opposed by serious resistance. There is a window at the beginning when such resistance has a chance. That window is still open, but it is closing, fast. I can\u2019t tell you how best to resist, but I can tell you it starts with seeing things clearly, and calling things, and people, exactly what they are.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not make the same mistake that other minorities have made throughout history when confronted with a new totalitarian ideology. See the New Normals for what they are, maybe not deep down in their hearts, but what they have collectively become a part of, because it is the movement that is in control now, not the rational individuals they used to be. Above all, recognize where this is headed, where totalitarian movements are always headed.
