“Please wait here until you realize your government is brainwashing you” (floor sticker)

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic resulted in social distancing, and many businesses placed small circles on the floor at cash registers where people could stand in line at the proper distance. The social distancing circles usually read: “Please keep your (social) distance.”
 
“Please wait here until you realize your government is brainwashing you” (or “Please stand here until you realise that your government is brainwashing you”) is a social distancing circle statement that has been printed on many images.
     
“Please wait here until you realise your government is brainwashing you” (shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by FFAC on May 28, 2020. “Please wait here until you realise the government is brainwashing you” was printed in the Liverpool (UK) Echo on May 21, 2020.
   
“Please stand here until you realise that your government is brainwashing you” was posted on Twitter by Christian Thomas on July 25, 2020. “Stand here until you realise your government is brainwashing you! (You may be here sometime)” was printed in the Daily Mail (London, UK) on September 14, 2020.

The one that crosses my mind every time I go shopping is “Please stand here until you realise that your government is brainwashing you.”

There’s hope for us yet. I say replace them with PSA stickers that say ‘stand here until you realize that your government is brainwashing you’.

The politicians have pitted us against each other. It’s turned shopkeepers against customers. Most police won’t do the fake work of enforcing arbitrary, unscientific and obsolete pandemic laws. So politicians force that bitter job on each of us, against our neighbours. twitter.com/ShawnG927/stat…
