Thanks for this, Jim. I have used the Herbert quote often (in a paraphrased, abridged form: "Fear is the mind-killer. I will face my fear and let it pass through me") to help me during anxiety attacks.
We freak out anytime someone criticizes us. In general. Good arguments are a thing of the past. People at my job will straight up invent stories to not be wrong now. It never used to be like that. Seems like most normies were conditioned to never stray from their safe happy bubble they built. I think the other side saw this weakness & began to resent it. Helping usher in a strongman. Combined with the weaponization of all of the above of course.
Thank you for powerful reminder to “face our fear”. So many of our default responses to the challenge of the bully, is to fearfully appease the bully, to get by.
