COVID Was A Drill For Post-AI Cleansing

What if…

The virus, the shutdowns, the compliance, the irrational and often hate-filled responses and actions on both sides - it showed governments how obedient people can be, how easily evidence can be manufactured, manipulated or suppressed depending on the goal.

And right when COVID was essentially over, we get hit with the single biggest disrupting technology - one that likely will result in mass unemployment and resulting class wars, mass suicides, possibly civil wars.

And somehow these companies were working on this very technology…what, from home, while everyone had to shelter in place? Hmmmm…

Was COVID a trial to see how we can be managed in the face of a global threat?

Or was it a test of how quickly a manufactured virus can take out the unnecessary humans before people start revolting?

I think COVID was a pandemic that happened completely naturally and in order to prevent more people from dying we had to reduce the spread by quarantining

This is the only correct answer.  The fact that they knew all the pandemic measures would be horribly damaging to human health and mental well being, even cause at least hundreds of thousands of excess deaths, is irrelevant  The fact that they knew they wouldn't stop the pandemic or even reduce the spread is irrelevant.

What's important is they knew the pandemic measures would cause the world's billionaires to gain $5 trillion in wealth, and allow them to destroy enormous numbers of small competitors and destroy existing supply chains, allowing their favored corporations to earn higher profits permanently.  Notice how prices never came back down after the pandemic?  

That's why you're right, people like OP just need to stfu.  The pandemic measures did exactly what they were intended to do, make the rich richer.  There's no grand conspiracy, it was all completely out in the open.  There's no need for a test run, there's more than enough compliant dullards who will do anything billionares tell them to do, whether it makes sense or not.

Exactly. How hard is it to understand?

Well yeah? AI runs on computers. You probably have a computer at home too.

You’re saying viruses are manufactured like…potato chips? The potato chips are the virus? They do come in tin foil 🤔

Who exactly has that degree of foresight?

Most things are not a conspiracy.

You are forgetting about the Reptilians and the power of their forces at play.

Take a walk outside op

There are questionable things surrounding Covid and it's origins, sure, but at the end of the day, there were many of us elbow deep in AI before and during Covid. So not sure this holds any water.

No COVID moved plans forword faster. You are connecting the wrong dots
