'Among the Rich; Lost Confidence, Welling Shame', Dr. DR NAOMI WOLF'S Outspoken again takes us to a place emotionally we would rather not go yet her subscriber sums it up best: "The vaxxed-obsessed
tried to take away our ability to earn a living (at best) & wished death up upon us (at worst). I will never forget or forgive." "Those who were the most educated & sophisticated lacked the wisdom"...
I hear all that, and I’m one of those (evil, dirty, selfish) unvaxxed people that have advocated understanding of the perpetually duped. (And yes, those you describe are perpetually duped—they chase meaningless things to throw up on the walls and eschew truth, but that’s another discussion.) Those Masters of The Universe (cough cough) who now preside of a dung heap? WE TOLD YOU SO, but they let their precious prejudices and hubris blind them and now their health is wrecked and their city is utter shit—“defund the police”—-and we, the “moronic MAGA maggots” in the “flyover states” aren’t supposed to do anything except hug them? Really?
Okay but THEY MUST NEVER! EVER! BE ALLOWED TO FORGET THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH EVIL. Like real, true Nazis (not Republicans, assholes, real actual Nazis) the group think compliance and mass hysteria which demand compliance got people killed and harmed in many, many ways. What has been done to children is beyond comprehension. The shaming, the censorship, the loss of jobs, the loss of childhood innocence? The proms, the football games, the family gatherings? All gone so a corrupt old man can totter around on stage and Trump can’t be president. How’s that winning going?
We must never forget. And we mustn’t let them pretend they were victimized in the same way we plebeian Walmart shoppers were. The sad, silly, inane sacks of stupid, who can’t even leave their brownstones now without fear, brought this ALL on themselves.
I read that in Naomi’s Substack. She is so kind and insightful, and, let me just say it, Gracefully gracious. In the root sense meaning bestowing undeserved favor.
No, ‘I told you so.’ No ‘you should have listened.’ Save that for the guilty.
And Lord haste the day that the guilty are at least removed from power and no longer have the ability to do any more harm, if not brought to justice in this life.
With this approach, expect these vaxx zealots to hit even harder next time. They have learned nothing. They have been equally banished from my world. To those who disinvited me and my husband: we will never in good conscience accept another invitation. They made their bed, now they can lie in it. Sorry. Zero sympathy.
That this could happened after the Nuremberg Code and in our so called civilization. In 3 Years they have destroy health, science, education, green is now brown, family’s, community’s, trust, pensions, free speech, free press, free will and democracy this is so madness!
I always enjoy reading Dr. Wolf's writing, and this was no different. I've never spent a moment's time thinking about the experience if the wealthy- or the left - during the plandemic. So, this piece was informative. My one comment has more to do with Dr. Wolf's new book title. What if we are not entering the "dark ages", but instead, we are exiting them? What if these wealthy types were not giving up, as the lovely doctor suggests, but rather stepping into reality, something they had, heretofore, managed to side-step because of their wealth and privilege? Just a thought...
It´s amazing how they have succeeded in bringing all and everyone into it , Trump, the Pope, Covid, then Ukraine, then Genderism, then Climate,then Meat...and call it one side or the other while people loses a good president, is misled by the Church, conned and poisoned at the same time, attacked and destroyed femininity and motherhood, banned even your home garden ,fields burnt, displacement of millions of people, elections stolen everywhere, prices up in the sky....presidents bought, their partners not being who they pretend to be...but Russia is the bad guy
"This is not to judge or criticize them," she writes. Not exactly. (That can be done in private.) They were just fodder for her next pretentious substack. So her readers can judge and criticize them.
While I have compassion for every human, I also believe that the only way you get people to make a fundamental change in how they think is through emotions, not logic. Years ago a brilliant friend of mine and I were just starting out in the work world. A world we thought was driven by highly educated people and dispassionately planned reason. We lamented that was not the case at all. We could present the most well thoughts and our ideas would be discarded for completely non-sensical reasons. The only possible answer was people are emotional, not rational. Therefore, unless people were impacted at an emotional level, there was no chance they would listen to ideas that contradicted their emotional world views, no matter how well reasoned.
Kind of like the old joke "How do you get a Missouri mule known for its stubbornness to cross a creek? - Hit in the head with a two-by-four to get its attention!" Even though the two-by-four has nothing to do with crossing a creek, it has everything to do with getting the mule to listen to you about crossing the creek. My brilliant friend named this creating a "SEE", a Significant Emotional Event. In a 50 year career, if I had to sell a revolutionary idea, the critical issue wasn't how I laid out the reasoned presentation. It was how I could create an SEE that would allow the audience to listen. Only then could you get them to even consider crossing the creek.
The Covid Scam has been the most SEE of most of lives. We must use this emotional Vesuvius to get people to understand that it is only the first, or perhaps more appropriately second to last, act in the play. With the last act being unelected world bodies, primarily the WHO and the UN, "not letting an emergency go to waste".
Be compassionate, but also be firm. Like an addict in denial, unless the SEE is fully defined and understood at an emotional level, there will be no chance at getting the people Naomi describes to cross the next creek. With the Covid Scam, the Global Elites have crossed their Rubicon and there is to going back short of total totalitarian victory.
Our only choice is that we cross our Rubicon to the land of freedom and stop the Global Elites. Or accept our role as mules stuck on the wrong side of freedom.
Dr Naomi Wolff, you describe a world of social elites with whom I have nothing in common. And frankly I would not want to have anything to do with them in any case.
With that said, the blatant persecution of those who resisted the so-called “vaccine” campaign happened at all levels of the social strata, family pitted against their outcast family members, friends raging against friends, and more. The consequences of the open hostility that was generated from propaganda lies did as much damage to the social fabric on other levels as it did in the elite circles.
The main difference, as I see it, is that the elite outcasts were taken by surprise by this turn of events and didn’t know how to react.
In other social circles, however, people are regularly faced with open discrimination and undeserved hostility. We have learned to hunker down and seek shelter with our own kind rather than to try to dissuade our persecutors of any notions that they are projecting their own fears and prejudices on us. We already know they aren’t listening so we stop engaging in discourse which only yields more vehement persecution poured on us.
Your kindness is appreciated. It’s thoughtful and nice.
I would suggest, however, that full thorough investigations need to be conducted, and the leading culprits tried, convicted, and punished appropriately with varying degrees of punishments meted out to those who supported this campaign to varying degrees. Only after we have identified and rooted out the evil that has taken over our social order can we afford to be forgiving of the least offensive activists and get them returned to civilized society.
Quite frankly I’m not sure many, if any, of the elite society you described who participated in this persecution program would qualify as “least offensive activists”. It seems to me that as the leading lights of society, they have a higher responsibility towards the greater social order and therefore abrogation of their responsibility should come with higher consequences.
But..., I’m not part of that world and would never want anything to do with anybody in that world no matter what, so my opinion may be skewed just a wee bit.

Poignant and beautifully written
I commend Naomi, but I'm not sure I could be as forgiving.
That this could happened after the Nuremberg Code and in our so called civilization. In 3 Years they have destroy health, science, education, green is now brown, family’s, community’s, trust, pensions, free speech, free press, free will and democracy this is so madness!

Beautiful!
Gives me hope that the tide is turning or has already turned.
