Three Years of COVID: A Tale of S&M

How two weeks to flatten to curve turned into long years of S&M

This story is a look at the past three years explained through the lens of S&M. It is a serious philosophical story, by the way, not an attempt at juiciness. It’s just that that the S&M lens is an accurate one to describe the past three years. There has been nothing rational or benevolent about it, just one giant S&M production, an act of thieving seduction, a very tragic mirage. I, for one, am very sad about the vampiring of love. There is nothing sadder under the sun to me than a wasted potential for love. Everything in life, even the saddest thing, eventually transforms into useful education, and I am aware of that—but the wasted potential for love, I mourn.

State ownership of sexuality and the war on touch

Remember 2020? Like the controlling, power-hungry priests of the past, the rulers went straight after the free-flowing, government-independent interpersonal energy and claimed enforceable ownership of it. In the olden days, it was done in the name of “God”—and now, it is being done in the name of “health.” Same crap though, same crap.

The dominators want control. They are jealous of the free-flowing interpersonal energy and don’t want the people to have that. Why? Because happy, satisfied people who support each other live their lives outside of the monsters’ psychological mirage. Happy people who have each other are busy with each other— and they are not particularly interested in orienting their lives around the monsters’ web. And the monsters are mad about it, they are very mad about it. Green with envy and anxiety over their vanishing power, they then go for the whip.

How so? Like this:

The philosophy of S&M

S&M per se is neither good or bad. Like most things in life, it depends on who is doing it, and why (and consenting adults, without a doubt, can do whatever rocks their boat).

By the way, “good” and “evil” are not universal concepts, either, it usually “depends.” For example, without any relation to S&M, it is bad to shove a child with force—unless the child needs to be very quickly pushed out of the way of a coming train that the child does not see, and you do. Similarly, is very bad to kill a person unless it’s in self-defense, etc.

In this light, S&M, too, is neither good nor bad, and it can be therapeutic or deadly, depending on who is doing it and why.

There is lots of cheesy hype and hypocrisy about it in the western culture but really, S&M in its purest form is just therapy. It’s about creating a situation in which one party therapeutically goes through a strong experience of temporarily relinquishing their agency and doing symbolic unreasonable or self-destructive things to really feel it—and the other party therapeutically enforces the plot to make the experience “real.”

In a less enlightened scenario, all parties to the experience may be a tad messed up—-and it would end up being a combination of spontaneous therapy, abuse, education, entertainment, etc.

In the third scenario, the dominator is a cold-blooded predator, and the dominated is a butterfly attracted to fire. In this case, the predator uses emotional vulnerabilities of the victim to make them believe they are getting “love” while in fact, they are getting used, abused or destroyed.

If we look at the so called “COVID response” through the lens of S&M, I would posit that it falls under Scenario #3.

Absurdity: a visual demonstration

Absurdity in “pure” S&M plays a sensory role. It sets a “carnival” context that takes the person out of the ordinary state of mind and creates a phantasmagoric plot in which it’s easier for the person to feel a coveted emotion that wants to be felt or to be healed.

This scenario may of course be exploited by predators to “rewire” human beings for submission by making them do things that are obviously absurd. Once that happens, in order to avoid a cognitive dissonance, the victims are likely to defend the absurdity and aggressively insist that they still have their cognitive agency, while in fact they are half-zombified. It’s a technique.

Keeping that in mind, here are just some images from the past three years:

Remember the well-behaved deadly respiratory virus who knew to avoid the seated restaurant customers and only attack the ones who were walking or standing up?

Here is a reminder about the non-effectiveness of masks. And by the way, it was easy to believe in the potential effectiveness of masks very early on. I believed in it for a few days in early March 2020, especially because the TV was saying that we shouldn’t. :-) But physics is physics—and methinks that without a massive and terroristic hypnotic spell, people would start following the actual physics soon enough instead of the charlatans on TV.

(My own waking up to the non-effectiveness of masks happened in March 2020 when I stood in a line for groceries—and had an experience of breathing air near a drunken beggar. My nose told me that masks didn’t work against aerosols. :)

Do you remember how you could receive an experimental life-saving injection at McDonalds, the established hub of public health?

No wonder the sadness. I, too, feel sad.

For good measure, since the COVID-themed S&M production is predictably transitioning into a climate-themed one, here is a serious headline from 2021 about how the Chernobyl accident was great for planet Earth.

World in a nutshell: a philosophical interlude

We the westerners think that we are in some kind of a rational world but really, we are in a fairy tale with kings and sorcerers where the sickest people in existence—the scum of the scum—are competing for positions high power—and the rest of us are lucky if we manage to mostly stay out of their way.

A lot of joyous things and good human relations are routinely targeted by the sadistic, cold-blooded conquistadors and masters of mind control. They are attracted to any areas of good energy, be it rich emotion or material wealth, and they just want to either appropriate good things or piss on them out of spite—because they are envious, soul-hungry creatures on a long and twisted road to healing. Just like in a fairy tale.

And when the thieves temporarily succeed at seduction, their enchanted victim ends up like this.

But our life is not supposed to be a perpetual super-squeeze. It is not supposed to be loveless, oppressive, bleak, miserable, filled with endless betrayal, or oxygen-deprived.

How long are we going to be like this? We are not zombies. So, how long?

When is enough?
