Actor Tim Robbins expresses remorse about turning on the unvaccinated and the unmasked: 'We turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people'

Robbins, an Academy Award-winning actor, explained his journey from strict compliance with government edicts early in the pandemic to one of doubt about the inerrancy of so-called health experts and the official narrative constructed around COVID-19, vaccination, lockdowns, and masking.

Despite having initially "bought into it" and "adhering to the requests" made of him, Robbins explained that his real-life encounters were ultimately at odds with what he had otherwise been told about the pandemic, anti-lockdown protesters, and the unvaccinated. This generated a sense of cognitive dissonance, prompting him to doubt the official narrative.

...

Robbins admitted, "At first, if you were a Democrat, when Trump was president, well, you weren't going to take that vaccine because it was Trump's vaccine, and then that seemed to somehow change. It was kind of Orwellian. It was like we are no longer at war with East Asia."

However, after the political winds shifted and Democrats assumed power during the pandemic, Robbins noted, "If you didn't take the vaccine, you were a Republican."

The end result, according to Robbins: "We turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people."

Both sides contributed to the vaccine conundrum. Vaxed persons condemned the
unvaxed for “exposing others to covid” and unvaxed made those takers of vaccine out to be losers who were not strong enough in character to refuse it. It should have been an inappropriate topic of conversation.

The pure bloods I know were all perfectly fine with other adults getting the jab. If there was any anger, it was directed toward those who preached, “My body, My choice!” on the one hand while threatening our jobs and freedom if we didn’t get jabbed.

Only one side in this was trying to silence all opposition and force everyone to comply, but their position was blatantly illogical. It really was Trump’s much maligned shot one day then Biden’s mandatory vaccine to save humanity the next. Plus, you had the mask insanity, like the virus won’t threaten anyone if masks are removed while eating in restaurants but you better wear that mask while walking to the table. Those of us who questioned authority weren’t trying to force anything on anyone else.

The damage is done, the truth is coming out so now dipstick Robbins is just the latest fruitcake to declare is sorrow at having been so hard on is lessers about Covid. It’s almost like someone decides the next narrative and slowly the elites dance the new tune, weird.

I’ve made it a personal policy to take zero advice from people who can’t make a living by being themselves. If they have to get along in life by portraying somebody else they can’t be trusted at all.

But, of course, it’s not tyranny.......(to them)

Now. Get in the van. It’s for your own good.

Big Brother hath declared it so.

It’s not enough to obey Big Brother. You must love him.

Maybe he started having heart problems after the vaccine.

Despite having initially "bought into it" and "adhering to the requests" made of him, Robbins explained that [...]

One does not "adhere" to requests. Rather, one obeys requests.

But they weren't "requests;" they were orders - backed by the use of force.

Guy I knew in high school. Had heart trouble. Dead at age 60.

Within 30 minutes of the jab.

Info via his son to another high school friend. Just found out about 2.5 months ago. And they were in regular contact with the deceased.

They will. They have been indoctrinated. And cannot think for themselves. I took a carton the masks came in. And showed some some face diaper wearers where it had stenciled on it in English in big letters: “Mask will not protect from Covid 19.” They paid no attention.
