Every one of us has a shadow self that shows our darker side.
Stanley Milgram stated:
I would say, on the basis of having observe[d] a thousand people in the experiment and having my own intuition shaped and informed by these experiments, that if a system of death camps were set up in the United States of the sort we had seen in Nazi Germany, one would find sufficient personnel for those camps in any medium-sized American town.

This could never happen in Canada, many smug Canadians will say! Think again.
All that is needed to expose the shadow of our darker side is the clarity of what I call a ‘high noon’ event. Such an event is a historical event that brings into focus the darker side of human nature and what can happen when personal moral convictions are discarded; when people blindly follow authority and even virtue signal about it.
In Canada the ‘high noon’ event was the Covid 19 ‘pandemic’ and the vaccine mandates. Many people thought that it was perfectly reasonable to isolate, imprison and deny medical treatment to people who were simply exercising their right to decide what to put into their bodies. People who didn’t want the Covid 19 vaccine were called ‘anti-vaxxers.’ And the video below describes a common sentiment towards them by their fellow citizens:
This video is not a joke. It isn’t satire. It isn’t parody. It’s Canadian political influencer Mark Slapinski saying what he’d like to do to unvaccinated people. It’s appalling and it needs to be called out.

What influences you? When you find yourself in a ‘high noon’ event, like the past three years of Covid 19 and the imposed vaccine mandates, check your internal moral compass! You may find it’s broken! You many find it works but you don’t have the courage to follow it!
You may find you don’t have one and have the makings of becoming a popular ‘influencer.’
What do you think?
