JOHN STEPPLING
The Woke Freikorps
There are mass regressions, psychologically and emotionally, taking place against the backdrop of the ‘lockdowns’ (sic). One sees this in an increasingly incoherent political spectacle, in the train wreck of unscripted extemporaneous comments from government leaders, and throughout social media. Unless there is a teleprompter handy, the elected politicians have a hard time focusing on even the topic, let alone organizing an answer. There is a critical degree of bad faith in the functionary class. Even as the script is being followed, word for word, the gnawing virus {sic} of uncertainty is palpable. And social media is now a morass of projection, shaming, guilt, and anxiety.
