Thanks Kim.

Also thanks for your photos posted to Facebook regarding the old growth movement on Vancouver Island.

I went overseas for 15 years. Returned in 2019 and find much of the left in 2022 to be mired in a morass of victimhood and venom.

Time to move on and work with our brothers and sisters around the world getting positive things done.

Wow....I think it's worse in Canada than even California!

"Because once mass hypnosis is established, the mesmerized have become a loaded gun that can be aimed any direction." Brilliant. I wrote about this horrifying social divide that has been created by mass formation psychosis in my Substack article, "The New Two Solitudes," after I received a similar email, though not nearly as vitriolic as the ones you're describing here. I'm sorry you've had to endure such hatred. Thank you for your courage. Stay strong. https://seanarthurjoyce.substack.com/p/the-new-two-solitudes?s=w

Sad and increasingly scary times. It's like we just discovered hate and we can't get enough.

Kim, Thanks for your valiant efforts to galvanize the Resistance to this ridiculous repressive rhetoric. We wonder how it is the Russians can be mesmerized by their government into believing their country is not invading Ukraine or attacking its cities, and yet millions of supposedly progressive Canadians and Americans have allowed themselves to buy into its equivalent regarding the absolute necessity of forcing people to take clearly risky and ineffective Covid shots. Don't let this army of brainwashed zombies get you down!

Thanks for sharing the mural and your experiences of Leftist hatred. Your article is eloquent and insightful and helps shed further light on the Mass Formation Psychosis knows as addiction to the Covid narrative. Thank You.

Thanks so much for this piece, Kim! I'm so sorry you've experienced this vitriol because of your courage to speak and share information. Astounded at the message from your colleague and friend - which shows a normalization of scorn and righteous judgement, on top of enemy-making. I would love to read your thoughts on how to shift this situation (the essay you wanted to write)!

Kim, please share you thoughts on how we might ethically de-progam at least some of those hypnotized. I have tendered some tentative ideas on my Tweets, and GETTRs, but nothing revolutionary. Thanks

Awesome Kim. I used to live on Vancouver Island (born and raised, recently moved to New Brunswick) and heard you read poetry on a few occasions. Glad to see you’re still thinking and writing and fighting.

So excited to discover a fellow writer and narrative-skeptical voice on this beautiful May day in Toronto. In case it's of interest, a few months ago I wrote a piece for the Brownstone Institute called the Freedumb Fallacy. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-freedumb-fallacy/

Hoo! This is a brilliant essay! Presenting reason & truth succinctly - such reason & truth that should be so self-evident, but which, through the success of mass formation/ calculated propaganda as a spectacular phenomenon, that has afflicted the majority (the majority!) of people, no matter their intelligence. This phenomenon is of terrifying proportions. We thought the Holocaust taught us the possibility of human evil & the acceptance of it in our midst so that such history would not be repeated. But here we are. You essay, Kim, is so important! A shining beacon of intelligent reasoning. Thank you.
