The real divide today isn’t between people who are awake and asleep.
It’s between people who changed how they live after COVID… and people who slipped right back into dependence the moment life felt normal again.
Derrick Brozesays“being awake” means nothing if you never change how you live, who you depend on, or how prepared you are when the next crisis arrives.
The scary part isn’t that people don’t see what’s happening anymore. It’s how many DO see it… but still haven’t changed anything about the way they live.
One of Derrick’s biggest frustrations is how quickly people relaxed once daily life started feeling normal again.
During COVID, millions suddenly started questioning institutions they had trusted their entire lives. For a brief moment, there was real momentum behind becoming less dependent on centralized control. People realized how quickly governments, media, corporations, and digital platforms could coordinate to shape behavior, restrict daily life, and pressure compliance.
But according to Derrick, much of that urgency disappeared the moment the immediate crisis faded.
He believesa major divide has emerged since COVID between people who were already investigating broader political and economic agendas before the pandemic and people who only became politically aware because of that single event. Many who woke up during COVID, he said, saw the crisis almost entirely through the lens of injections and lockdowns. Once the mandates ended and political leadership changed, many people slipped right back into old routines.
“Trump got elected, now we don’t have to worry about anything,”he said, describing the mindset he increasingly encounters.
Derrick argued that this mentality runs much deeper than politics. In his view,people have been conditioned to believe freedom is something delivered from above every four yearsthrough elections rather than something built slowly through habits, sacrifice, preparation, discipline, and strong local communities.
