I’ll only add that the people obeying and enforcing the inhuman lockdown edicts don’t have “personality disorders”, whatever that may even be. These are normal people acting this way. That should be much more horrifying to us, and we should refrain from minimizing their actions as part of some latent mental disorder. This is the human psyche under the influence of fundamentalist ideology, the human race amid a process of rebarbarization.

It has unleashed all this repressed malice that has been brewing for a long time. It has nothing to do with health or science, and everything to do with neurosis, greed, fear, and a disturbing anti-life, self-immolative psychosis. https://t.co/KV4qiMUpht
