The small town advantage
After the SHOCK AND AWE smoke dissipated, one pattern showed up clearly.
Small towns everywhere are mainly unaffected by the holocaust.
Part of the difference is mechanically obvious. Small towns don't have professional governments. The mayor and council might meet once in a while, but they don't do much. Thus the mayor isn't selected for demonic qualities, and isn't a cost-effective purchase for Bloomberg. Especially, small towns don't have branch offices of the state Public Death Department or EPA. There's no convenient enforcement mechanism.
Another part is more permanent and subtle.
In small towns EXPERIENCE is far more powerful than externally imposed media. This isn't new with "social media". Big cities always depend on paid government-controlled media, from the town crier to the newspaper to the TV to the iPhone.
In a small town
everyone knows what's happening. Everyone knows who's healthy and who's dying. A fake epidemic doesn't convince anyone.
In a big city you know you're healthy, but you DON'T know the condition of everyone else. Even your neighbors are generally unfamiliar. Media can tell you that 500 million billion trillion quadrillion people are dying in YOUR CITY, and you have no DIRECT SENSORY way to disprove it.
EXPERIENCE SURVIVES. THEORY KILLS.
Sidenote:
Lukashenko recognizes this difference in discussing the Sorosians who are trying to impose the holocaust on the ONLY SANE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
I conclude that life changes radically when one travels beyond the Minsk ring road. This is why it would be ridiculous to say we are having big problems and complications. Your life is totally different than life in Minsk. And then life in Minsk differs from yours only on Sundays.”
Kids have gone to school. Students study in universities. It is very important and we should take care of that. If someone just can't live with it, I've just said that there are clearly defined rules in the form of the law. This is why I strongly urge you not to pay attention to these things. Mind the economy and people. This froth will go away, all the various Telegram channels that control crowds in Minsk will go away. We just need self-restraint, presence of mind, we need to prevent the line from being crossed.
The only perfectly sane leader in the only perfectly sane country.
