There were people who saw the threat of COVID authoritarianism before it even emerged, but those people were heckled, ignored, abused. It’s a laugh that now, three years after the fact, an entire industry has emerged of lockdown/mask/vax critics who hock their books and go on speaking tours, because now its safe to critique the COVID response. Where was Bret three years ago? Probably cowering in fear, just like Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, and everyone else. Everyone who risked their necks by speaking out will be forgotten, but intensely corny people like Bret will be remembered. This must be how all of human history plays out, and it makes me want to know the unknown renegades who risked their necks and spilled their blood so the Washingtons and Jeffersons could have their pictures minted on coins.
