"Hi. My name is Anne and I'm a regular cyclist.
Last year, I had a nasty collision when a cement mixer cut me off while turning right. I flew off my bike, and hit the ground very violently. I got up with a few scratches, but my bike helmet was shattered on the ground next to my head. If I hadn't been wearing that helmet...." - Bike helmet disaster anecdote #49,328
If people didn't write these fake personal anecdotes, who would ever believe that bike helmets were anything except a sign of how dangerous cars have made our environments? Of how strongly car companies want to remove bikes from "their" roads. Of how much propaganda is part of our "common sense?"
Likewise, the "Covid Fear" case was built on limiting access to information and dubious "first person" propaganda like the fake bike-helmet-saved-my-life stories that pro-car people post with scary regularity. The biggest boosters of Covid fear porn were also the greatest boosters of Bike helmet fear porn.
And the they have also played the role of "white shoes after labor day fear porn" in other generations.
This kind of "social conversation" is only useful to powerful corporations and dictators. Since when did so many ordinary, bland normals convert to promoting the dictatorship of the powerful? (commercial media made them do it)
