Because the Big Pharma played the centuries-old trick from a conqueror's handbook: give your vassals a tiny bit of power over their peers, while pillaging the land for profit. So the activists now enjoy the newly given power to bash, shame and deplatform anyone who could be labeled as "antivaxxers", while predictably turning a blind eye towards the hand that gave them that power.
- ccn0p 4y agoFor multiple years now I've been trying to figure out how the magic trick worked, and I think you just nailed it.
- taolegal 4y agoThere's a control aspect, but I think the labels are just standard totalitarianism. That maybe 30%~40% of the population (hopefully not more) don't have a spine & just conform to anything in the hopes of social reward. So labelling is just a way to say "I'm not a bad person" when in fact the people who just blindly conform end up solidifying the worst trends in society. It's scapegoating.

The idea is that if you can make it look (make believe, basically) that the majority swings in a certain direction, a large chunk of the population will simply follow EVEN IF they think otherwise. Mattias Desmet goes deeper into this in his "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" [1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments [1] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WYYMR2H https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WYYMR2H
