My wife has a friend whose husband won’t let her visit any friends or family. He has made her stop all contact with them unless it’s on the phone or computer. He reads and censors her comments on social media.

He makes her feel like she’s going crazy for thinking he’s controlling, and that she is being ungrateful. (After all, he’s only doing this because of how much he cares about her.)

He doesn’t want her going to the gym anymore, so she doesn’t go. He also doesn’t let her go to work anymore (he told her to only rely on him for income and that he will take care of her).

She’s not really allowed to go out anymore unless it’s for necessities, and when she does, he makes sure to have people guilt trip her about it and shame her for it.

He wants her to have this medical procedure done and tells her that if she does it, he will allow her more freedom.

He constantly says he’s only doing all of this because he cares… he is just doing it for her own good.

Oh, wait…did I say "husband"? I meant the government.

My bad.

People have been conditioned to be outraged if another person did this to their spouse, but be passive and compliant when it comes to the government.

Now imagine if I changed this technicolor story to a black and white narrative. Let’s say…put it back about 150 years and use the forbidden S-word –– slavery.

By legal definition, slavery is "a condition in which one human being was owned by another. A slave was considered by law as property, or chattel, and was deprived of most of the rights ordinarily held by free persons."
Social scientist Kevin Bales said in 1999, that "At its most fundamental, as a state of being, slavery is about a radical diminution in the exercise of free will; it is a loss of personal liberty".
Sociologist Orlando Patterson defined slavery as "the violent, corporeal possession of socially isolated and parasitically degraded persons".

If we replaced the words "lockdown", "social distancing", "curfews" and "passes" with segregation or apartheid, all wrath would descend upon the earth. Right?

In today’s video, there’s lots of never-seen-before footage of right-wing, neonazi, conspiracy theorist racists protesting slavery. (And animal abuse, another ironic favorite of the Karens)

Thank heavens Joe Biden is there to look after the rights of bitches, cows, and sheep, with a new prohibition coming that prevents you from eating more than one hamburger a month –– all in the name of climate change and anti-racism, as explained by one smart white girl on why eating meat is racist. No, it’s not Greta.

Good thing Lucy doesn’t give a damn, because who needs burgers when you can have tacos.

For those of you who want to know what to do with your Monero and ARRR –– this is the one Lucy & Jeff Show you don’t want to miss. Here’s a hint…it starts with an H and ends with an L.

For all your Bitcoin vs. Privacy Crypto questions answered here are the encouraging words of Christine Lagarde, European CENTRAL BANK President: "We should be happier to have a job than to have our savings protected".

Also Christine Lagarde, talking about Bitcoin in January 2021: "There has to be regulation. This has to be applied and agreed upon … at a global level because if there is an escape that escape will be used".

And more in February 2021: "European CENTRAL BANK President Christine Lagarde on Wednesday said she didn’t consider bitcoin to be a real currency, adding that "It’s out of the question" that central banks would be holding it as reserve currency anytime soon, although there "may be a digital euro currency ready within about four years".

Yeah…
