That picture of the Venice skatepark took me back to that time and place. I could think of no better example of the control freaks exploiting the crisis to do something they’d always wanted to do anyway.
One day I heard that people had begun to shovel it out. I dropped what I was doing and ran there with my shovel to help. Tearing down the caution tape was exhilarating, like crossing the Rubicon.
Some in that early hour warned that the city would just fill it with sand again. But they didn’t. The entire community spontaneously cleaned it out while the city just watched from the sidelines. Many true friendships were born that day.
Around the same time, the surfers broke the beach curfew en masse, overwhelming the enforcers. As David Icke said, we don’t need weapons, just a bloody calculator.
Since that time we haven’t had any problems with curfews or lockdowns in Venice.
This global tyranny, though immense, isn’t real. It isn’t a feature of the landscape. It is only a figment of the collective imagination, and we can simply wake up from it as from a bad dream.
Are those next three associated with antisocial media? Before I canceled my account FB was full of nastiness. It got that way during lockdown.
That's why I left.
Excellent analysis.

Obesity may be a risk factor largely because fat sucks up vitamin D away from where it's needed, and it eventually degrades.
