The level of organized energy and intelligence it would take to mount an effective challenge to this emergent authoritarianism is probably too great for the people in many of these countries. Most of the people who are demanding an end to pandemic authoritarianism have spent their lives supporting policies that would lead directly to this outcome. You can tell someone that they can’t have it two ways, but it won’t matter. You support the piecemeal creation of an all-encompassing, cradle-to-grave nanny state, don’t be surprised when it takes total control and unleashes brutality on its foolish creators.
Crazy police brutality in Germany! I fear Germany is drifting towards another totalitarian regime. This has nothing to do with an open free society. Disgusting. https://t.co/Eb3hwIyXKe
