It’s been completely outrageous to witness once great nations, ‘great’ because they paid at least a small amount of respect to freedom and human rights, slide whole hog into authoritarianism.
Despite the fact that COVID is over, if it ever were really even “here” to begin with, the UK government has begun a hiring spree for a legion of pandemic Stasi, who will work as paid informants and spies charged with enforcing East Berlin-style decrees. One such decree is that gatherings of more than six people are now illegal in England.
To be fair, England has been a soft-totalitarian, total surveillance state for awhile now, ever since the 9/11 attacks generated so much terrorism hysteria throughout the West. But as far as invisible, will o’ the wisp enemies, a virus is a far more perfect choice than “terrorism” ever could be. Think about how much authoritarianism and surveillance has already been built upon virus hysteria. “Terrorism” never came close to achieving this.
