One solution that many people aren't able to accomplish is just refuse to comply. They've already laid off so many it's affecting the economy, a significant factor in the recent inflation. Double that rebellion, or triple it, and the economy would crash, opening the doors for our own "reset" of banishing socialism from our society. Alas, that's impractical since so few today are even capable of supporting themselves, and even if they are, they're addicted to the comforts provided by society, even when burdened with arbitrary fascist dictates.

A society of people who are independent enough to ignore those dictates are immune to fascism. Begging for exemptions is as unhealthy as the vax.

Yes David! Exactly yes! This has always been my belief and practice. Right from the start it always seemed to me like playing into their hands to even acknowledge a need for an exemption. I tell them "I don't have an exemption because I don't need one" when/if they ask me why I'm not wearing a mask or not vaxxed etc. It's a BIG mistake to acknowledge their arbitrary rules. And yes, there can be consequences but if we had all done this (stood together) from the get go we'd have scuttled their ship.

It has been easier for me because I'm self-employed and have no debt/mortgage. That came at a cost to me and mine, that most refused to pay, but I will say it was worth what we sacrificed - "the borrower is slave to the lender" is not in the bible without good reason. It's a warning.

Thanks Colleen for another great post. Haven’t had time to read all of it yet but the first part is brilliant.

We do need a lot of tools to fend this off, and the religious exemption is one place to assert rights and also expose the absurdity of what is being demanded of us. I am wondering if similar assertions can be used to get exemptions from testing also.

We do need a socialism-banning reset but of course they are sowing all these seeds of chaos to bring about their totalitarian great reset. We could accomplish something by voting with our wallets and self sufficiency, though not clear how much.

And exemption for masks every where, including in nursing homes

I don't think of it as begging. It's an attempt to bridge a gap in understanding with an employer.
