Serious question: what makes Bob tick? We all know Bob. He’s the guy who nervously tries to belong. The guy who trusts authority before & after said authority kicks his puppy into the busy street. While he watches. He’s the guy with a hundred reasons to believe something he didn’t even know about until ten seconds ago. The two-legged Normalcy Bias. The family doctor who chats conversationally about how social distancing ended scarlet fever.
He’s usually friendly. Smiles at you, when he’s not face-diapered. But then you dig deeper into his soul and find underneath… void.
Inside the mind of one of my very smart pro-vax friends

By Steve Kirsch, 22 August 2022
I recently talked to a friend of mine at a recent social event. We’ll call him Bob. He’s super smart about most things. But when it comes to the vaccine, he’s blind to the truth.
He was bragging about how he has been vaxxed 6 times with the COVID vax and he’s perfectly healthy. He can’t wait for SB 866 in California to pass so when his kids turn 12, they can decide to get the vaccine over their mother’s objections.
All you need to know about SB 666, err, 866, is that its sponsor is the most unrepentant and sexually active Sodomite in Sodom… Francisco. But here’s a quote regardless:

PROBLEM: Minors between the ages of 12 and 17 cannot be vaccinated without parental consent unless the vaccine is specifically to prevent a disease that is sexually transmitted. This serves as a significant barrier to teen health in California, particularly in situations where parents and children hold conflicting views about vaccines.
We don’t need no stinkin’ parents! Signed, a Minor-Attracted Person.
End segue
Bob thinks I’m a nut case, cherry picking data. He says I used to be respected, but after turning anti-vax, people have lost all respect for me. He said I have a religious belief about the vaccine and I’m not driven by data.
Yep, that’s Bob. I’ve encountered a few Bobs myself.
“I don’t believe you because you have no evidence.”
“Here’s evidence.”
“Uhh… if it saves just one life then it’s still worth doing.”
“Could you at least look at the evidence you demanded?”
What he isn’t telling anyone is that he’s been losing his vision ever since he got his first COVID vaccine. He used to have 20/20 vision, but now he wears glasses and can’t drive at night. When I brought up the data showing the connection between the shots and vision loss, he changed the topic.
I showed him two papers showing the more you vaccinate, the sicker you get (see the two papers here). I asked, .Where are the papers that show the opposite?. He ignored my request.
Bob knows. He MUST know. If he was that bad at cause & effect then he’d starve in front of a three-course meal.
He gets his belief system from the mainstream media. Full stop. He reasons that if I was correct, surely Bill Gates would agree with me and admit they goofed. It’s 100% deference to authority.
Bob will not look at the data himself and he doesn’t want to discuss it. He will not engage. He thinks that if I was right, there would be more than a handful of people speaking out. So he tallies the size of the support base on each side of an issue instead of looking at the data.
Insufficient. I understand joining a group and singing in the choir when it’s in your best interest. But here, it’s NOT in Bob’s best interest to be this “not curious about the side effects until the Big Man says it’s okay to be curious.” He’s ALREADY having life-changing bad reactions.
The important thing is you cannot turn these people around. Arguing with them is fruitless because they don’t want to see the data. They will only come around when the people they trust change their position.
The situation is much worse than that. Bob is ready to poison his children because Fauci said to, without being the slightest bit curious about a second opinion.
As a Christian, I know why Bob is like that: the devil prizes loyalty. The First Rebel, Father of Lies and deceiver of the entire human race, has absolutely no intention of losing the game he invented to his own students. Therefore, when his agents take control of a society, loyalty is endlessly demanded until you get purity spirals and witch hunts as people struggle to out-loyal each other.
(Which explains everything between GAE and Russia. GAE’s leaders are competing against each other in D.C. to hate Putin the most. Whoever Putin is. To the Regime, he’s more of a concept than a person at this point.)
Looking over all of Bob’s faults in Mr. Kirsch’s post, the one positive quality he has in spades is… loyalty. Bob is totally loyal to the Regime, to the point of offering them his own children and shunning the truth about their intentions. Old Scratch is pleased.
But I don’t understand the how of Bob ending up like that… waiting for permission to throw his own children into the fires of Molech. How messed up inside does a man have to be, to be thanking his overlords for the vaxx that’s slowly blinding him? Was he born this way? Did the Regime program him? Is there any way to help Bob connect the dots and save himself & family? Does Bob WANT to be like that?
We can safely assume that Bob isn’t going to just tell us. Because he didn’t.
What we need is an “honest Bob” to embrace that stupid then come back and tell us about it. Well, it just so happens that I know of one… Theodore “Unabomber” Kaczynski.
One reason for my interest in criminal manifestos is they’re a dark mirror to society. The reason manifestos get written in the first place is, of course, that the author has a grievance against society that he believes is best aired with maximal damage to that society. Presuming that the author is not a mere shitbag… I have no interest in the politics of a tweaker on an armed-robbery spree of convenience stores… it’s an outsider’s perspective on society. Especially when, as with Unabomber, the perp lives long enough to develop a coherent worldview.
Do not mistake my respect for him with endorsement of him. Why did he mail pipe bombs to random people? Because he had a manuscript he wanted published and thought that spilling innocent blood would be more effective than buying advertising. He was right, too. I can respect the daring, atheistic pragmatism while fitting his noose myself. I’m weird like that.
Industrial Society and Its Future, 1995
6. Almost everyone will agree that we live in a deeply troubled society. One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism…
9. The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism we call “feelings of inferiority” and “over-socialization”. Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.
10. By “feelings of inferiority” we mean not only inferiority feelings in the strict sense but a whole spectrum of related traits; low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies, defeatism, guilt, self-hatred, etc. We argue that modern leftists tend to have such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of modern leftism.
I think he’s right. Bob cannot possibly have self-respect, if he continues to obey after getting hurt in ways he was promised wouldn’t happen.
Moreover, those poor feelings didn’t come out of nowhere. Fatherlessness is an obvious contributor, but I wonder about meaningless ego-boosts such as participation awards. What does a kid feel when success is devalued into meaninglessness? Nothing good.
And of course, anarcho-tyranny. The former is lots more fun than the latter.
15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives… He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.
I think he’s wrong. Leftism being the politics of envy, the reason Leftists do not want to be thought of as successful is the same reason you wouldn’t want to be thought of as wealthy during a thieves’ convention. It makes you a target.
But… perhaps that’s a reason why Bob doesn’t want to listen to us. We’re the Approved Enemy that he gets to hate on. Even though he smiles at us. This is consistent with Hive-mindedness. One of the strongest tactics of group identity is hostility towards outsiders.
19. The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egoist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the capacity to be strong, as his efforts to make himself strong produce his unpleasant behavior. But the leftist is too far gone for that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the collectivism of the leftist. He can feel strong only as a member of a large organization or a mass movement with which he identifies himself.
That perfectly explains Bob’s willingness to trust “Science” Fauci over his own lying, fading eyes. He lacks the courage to hold his own opinion in the face of opposition. That’s a real thing these days. I felt it directly, practicing civil disobedience against the Plandemic.
But… while the leftist gives up and conforms, I thought of Christ and forged ahead.
20. Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.
EXPLAINS SO MUCH!!!
25. The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt, they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality have a nonmoral origin. We use the term “oversocialized” to describe such people.
26. …The oversocialized person cannot even experience, without guilt, thoughts or feelings that are contrary to the accepted morality; we are socialized to conform to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is kept on a psychological leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship….
I experienced this phenomenon for myself. Being very nerdy in my youth, I naturally found that doing what I was told in areas I wasn’t naturally skilled in, was a sensible idea. But then I realized that what I was told, didn’t lead to what I wanted. Example, I wanted to date & marry like every horny young guy. But the social conditioning, both explicit and implicit, was “wait until she’s ready, don’t rush it, you’ll know when the time comes”. That seemed like a bad way to pair off… to not be intentional about the process, or not expect society to help… and it was.
So, I rejected the advice and tried to get dates by asking women I knew casually for dates. That also seemed like a good idea at the time. Guess what? Every single girl was in a committed relationship that I hadn’t known about. For years on end. I finally gave up, having rejected society’s path while failing to forge my own.
Today, that kind of “social expectations” is on Social Media Cranked To 11. One needs strength of character to buck the societal expectations of an entire Hive.
Unabomber proceeds into other, irrelevant stuff… he thought that technology would eventually enslave us, which is actually happening now, but his idea of “technology” includes indoor plumbing… you see why I can respect him and despise him at the same time… but his criticisms of leftism are surprisingly timeless.
So, where are we? The Bobs of the world have had their personalities undermined to the point that they believe they need a structured, collectivist environment. They don’t want to even attempt independent living. Once inside the Hive, the emotional cost of Narrative deviation is ratcheted incredibly high. The reward for Narrative loyalty is permission to hate Narrative violators… both the misinformed ‘truthers’ and the Hive-drone’s own peers who stop clapping too soon.
The end result is a hollow soul. A person whose beliefs are his behavior. Notice I didn’t say his beliefs and behavior are related to each other; he doesn’t have any beliefs. They would only hurt and promote dis-Loyalty. How good a person is he? Social credit score. Who is he allowed to associate with? The people wearing masks and washing their hands like Lady MacBeth on Election Night. How will he survive hard times? By denouncing anybody less loyal than him, knowing that they’re looking for the same chance to do it to him. Everything is external. For show.
And if a successful outsider, those bourgeois capitalist pigs, should offer an alternative to the Narrative, he risks being completely shut out of the only world he believes himself capable of functioning in.
So much easier to just lie down in traffic until either he gets what he wants, or a commuter backs over him during rush hour. Both outcomes will stop the pain.
Such are the hollow man’s true beliefs: seek pleasure, avoid pain. Truth causes pain, causes doubt. Victimhood feels good; unapproved success is frightening and unsafe; why stand out? Mob mentalities offer absolution of responsibility. Empty yourself of individuality and there will be nothing left to hurt.
Mr. Kirsch offered Bob the truth about the vaxxes, specifically the harm they were doing to his vision. Bob felt threatened by the ‘opportunity’ to be perceived as deficiently loyal. He didn’t like the idea of losing his vision but knew that the Hive will take care of him, plus, he’s mutating into a Real Victim not just a fake one. Disability checks for life, guilt-free!
That’s why Bob refused Kirsch’s advice and didn’t explain why. He would be ashamed of the wretchedly self-destructive little twerp in the mirror.
What a pity that I need help from a terrorist in order to think poorly enough of Bob to make sense of his behavior. While I’m open to the possibility that I’m wrong… I see a LOT of leftists protesting in traffic these days. And they don’t act confident.
Is there a way to unplug Bob? No. He doesn’t want to be unplugged. He wants to feel as little pain as possible until his fuses blow… any minute now, at the six-jab mark.
