Victorians are being infantilised because it is simply too tempting to externalise our safety onto paternalistic leaders and structures.
In fact, it's a quite innocent reversion to the limbic system in our brain that shuts down higher reasoning in the frontal cortex in times of great stress, fear or threat.

While everyone is arguing the surface issues (support for lockdowns, vaccine passports, illegal playgrounds, protests) we are ignoring the underlying warring perspectives.
When people claim 'I have human rights that no law can abridge' they are appealing to a Natural Justice perspective, which has informed much of our historical development in the West - certainly in the field of human rights.
Modern human rights stances can be traced to Thomas Aquinas, and his ideas underpin everything from Occupy Wall St protests to Black Lives Matter protests and now to the anti Lockdown protests and anti vaccine passport protests. Even though politically disparate, they all rely on a Natural Justice narrative.
When people claim 'I'm just following orders/doing my job' they are appealing to a Positive Justice perspective, which arose with Thomas Hobbes and his ideas of 'Social Contract Theory'. Jeremy Bentham furthered Hobbes' work on Positive Justice (and hatred of Natural Justice) in setting our culture of government surveillance, fines, community policing one other, and Chief Health Officer directives.
This momentum of replacing Natural Justice with Positive Justice is seen in our legal systems where legislation increasingly usurps common law and politicians, media and voters all clamour to 'create a new law' to fix the latest problem.
It is also mirrored in economics where the well accepted ideas of Adam Smith (supply vs demand etc) are replaced with Modern Monetary Theory and various other ideas with inductive reasoning.
It is further mirrored in the decentralisation of truth ('your' truth), gender and race identification by intent only, moral relativism and other movements which seek to 'create' rather than 'discover'.
Not that Positive Justice is wrong, or doesn't deserve a place at the table, but we must be aware of the underlying friction to understand why people are so partisan on human rights, lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations etc.

NB: for the purposes of this brief and narrow explainer video, histories and details have been compressed and narrowed and I fully acknowledge the unexplored depths of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Aquinas, Hobbes, Bentham, Locke and Smith.
For your own research, search the phrase 'Natural Law vs Positive Law'.

Their is a traumatic psychological reckoning coming as people everywhere wake to the disaster their governments have wrought upon them.
Just one example is Victoria, Australia where massive swaths of the state are 'crippled' with no ambulance coverage. Myriad other government services are progressively failing. People are dying unnecessarily, and will continue to die.
But beyond the physical, how do we deal with the mental trauma and psychological reckoning more and more are going through?

Dr Brendan Moloney is an expert in the formation and life cycle of cults, and explained the similarities in a wide ranging interview on parallel economies, parallel societies and parallel academic institutions.

In this episode of The People's Project with David Limbrick MP and Corrine from Smoke Dreams:
IS CANNABIS GOOD OR BAD?
The conservative view is that cannabis is not only harmful, it's immoral and 'ILLEGAL!'. This has been the dominant message in policing, media and politics for nearly 100 years. The progressive view is that it's harmless and to be celebrated, endorsed and embraced by all. But is it as simple as either side makes out?
THE WAR ON DRUGS
When governments spend billions of dollars on drug harm policies, how much do you think actually goes towards harm minimisation, prevention and treatment, as opposed to brute enforcement?
LEGALISING CANNABIS IN AUSTRALIA
We explore the famous Portugal case study where all drugs were decriminalised 20 years ago. Did it work? What about in Australia - how are we tracking and can we stop the global trend towards decriminalisation and legalisation? This is after the ACT just announced it will be legal to possess drugs like cocaine, heroin and speed.

'Censorship starts long before Big Tech gets involved. There is a cultural silencing happening as well' - Matt
My guest thinks that those calling for LESS discussion are loud and powerful but in the minority. Mainstream people WANT to discuss issues and make up their own minds.

This is where we are going, why we are going, and how we are going. Discernable is all grown up now, and moving out of the parent's basement (social media). Sure, we'll visit from time to time, but we won't live here anymore.
Especially Youtube - there is no incentive to post our video content here, especially when it keeps getting us flagged or banned. We are so tiny an organisation we can't keep devoting resources to creating short little videos so you will see very little here on the tube. Just community posts (images) letting you know what's going on, or the occasional video update.
UPDATE ON PLATFORMS
This video is a week late to air on Youtube due to our ban, and since then we have experienced ongoing censorship as documented on our other social channels. Rumble has proved to be an impossible option with horrific upload speeds meaning it would take more than 100 days just to convert our existing catalogue, let alone make new content.
Our website is currently working with a temporary lifeboat host and over the next 2 weeks we will migrate to a permanent and safe video host but the place to find us will always be:
OUR NEW HOME
https://discernable.io
SEGMENTS already made will air over the next few weeks and then no more
will be created.
SOCIALS will serve as a bulletin board only to notify you of our new guest interviews and news shows.
