  1. I'm happy to hear Dr. Crawford mention several times HR departments being a force of this cult of crisis, since most of us work for corporations and HR departments are our firsthand experiences with what we encounter in crisis culture. My HR department mandated vaccines and racial sensitivity training all in the same year during lockdown with a bombardment of social and political messaging that continues near daily, and has adversely affected me in ways I try not to think about. I detest these do-gooders. They are liars and they know it. Sorry I can't be as diplomatic as Dr. Crawford.

  2. Shakespeare supposedly said all the world's a stage and all the people players. Nothing's changed, except rather than a stage it's a really shallow reality show.

  3. The word the elites use is "crisis." There was a time when these activists exaggerated figures to convince everyone of a crisis. Twenty million homeless in America, 1 out of 2 children molested, 30% of children hungry, etc. These days interestingly the crisis pushers no longer bother to fake figures. If 5 people suffer from something (transphobia, monkeypox, police brutality), it's a crisis. Out of this comes the term zeroism. Activists convinced people to sacrifice everything to save even 1 person from an alleged crises or injustice. And in my opinion they're motivated by pure greed, as every one of their solutions requires billions of dollars in new programs, or research, to save us.
