When they blame the “Covid” for people learning to think for themselves. But call it violence and antigovernment rhetoric.

I don’t even have words for this piece of work.

The pandemic and lockdowns can erode social relationships (Killgore et al., 2020), undermine physical and mental health (Clemmensen et al., 2020; Cullen et al., 2020), induce disease-related fears (Ornell et al., 2020), and generate economic losses (Laborde et al., 2020). These outcomes, in turn, can increase social exclusion—a predictor of aggression (Twenge et al., 2001)—or promote risk-seeking aimed at preventing losses (Kahneman & Tversky, 1984). Socioeconomic losses can also create frustrations, leading to aggression via the frustration–aggression link (Berkowitz, 1989). Such aggression can be directed toward actors that are held responsible for the adverse effects of the pandemic, which are typically governments.

The theorized psychological pathways—connecting the pandemic’s adverse effects to antigovernment attitudes and behaviors—are consistent with extant research on political violence. Radicalization research suggests that social exclusion or marginalization can activate a “quest for significance,” a key motivator of violent extremism (Kruglanski et al., 2014, p. 73). Research on need for chaos indicates that marginalization also promotes a generalized desire to “burn down” established societal and political structures (Arceneaux et al., 2021; Petersen et al., 2020). Furthermore, research on authoritarianism shows that societal threat (e.g., a deteriorating national economy) promotes endorsement of the use of force among authoritarians (Feldman & Stenner, 1997).

They want us to believe that fighting back is aggressive and dangerous, our attitudes towards covid and standing up against the death regime is dangerous, and they go as far as to compare it to the BLM riots that took place in 2020. It is an interesting little spin they try to put on us dangerous medical freedom people.
