Okay I know there aren't enough of us to make a difference, but that's why I loved reading your comment. I had a similar experience with my high school (Punahou School of Barack Obama fame claiming). It is an elitist institution with very high alumni involvement, so while not as prestigious, does engender the same type of milieu. Over the course of 2020 I was in close contact with classmates who were very disappointed in the online learning route the school took, but it got worse with endless school safety updates with photos of kids in masks AND face shields (my kids in the netherlands never wore masks except on the airplane, which incidentally, no one was interested in hearing about, though I thought that was the point of having a globe spanning alumni network). Then in the summer of 2021 on the heels of a statewide vax pass system, they announced a return to in person alumni events, but on condition of vaccination. This is after it was quite clear that it didn't stop spread. I wrote my first and last nuclear email to the school hating on my alma mater so hard I won't ever live it down. I laid it all out, including how classmates had unfriended me on SM over this and how pathetic a legacy all this elitism founded. No critical thinking and certainly no empathy, core tenets of the school's mission. I asked to be removed from their lists (which I know all about because I helped add anyone and everyone to those lists to try and up involvement and cash) and I will never donate to their failed cause again. Those classmates have been the absolute worst group-thinkers and bullies in my life. Good riddance. Never been so happy my hubby put his foot down and made us return to the Netherlands after living in Hawaii for three years. It was always my dream my kids would be third generation graduates, but honestly the writing was on the wall years ago and he made the right call.
Yes, many many times. Protesters were also beaten and some rioters were even shot! But the worst was having dogs sicced on us. Not at any of the protests, I attended, but at a few others. amnesty international got involved. Some very upsetting images are floating around. CJ Hopkins used them to good effect in a couple memes. The reason I say it is the worst is because it is so viscerally violent and scary. So primitive. This country is unrecognizable. Democratic rule of law is dead. But I have learned from talking to people who lived through horrors, including the nazi occupation of Amsterdam, that life simply goes on, one way or another. We show up and do what we can, but other than that we must live.

Weren't they spraying protestors with high powered water hoses in the winter in the Netherlands for protesting against the plandemic bullshit?

Just awful. We must take a stand and fight where we are. People must stop complying with the tyranny.
It sounds cliché, but it does start with the INDIVIDUAL.
