This is supposedly due to the new “variant” of COVID in the UK, but it’s become obvious that these advisors are fully detached from reality and merely want to hold on to power. The Irish government, and many other governments currently imposing lockdowns on their populations, are leaving no peaceful way out for their citizens. They are risking violent, French Revolution-style explosions. And they will surely happen if this continues. I, frankly, am surprised at the lack of any political violence directed at the architects of pandemic tyranny. Thank god there hasn’t been much, but it seems inevitable if lockdowns continue.
A short digression:
Just as a spider spins a web and a beaver builds a dam, so our species builds the State. It’s encoded in our DNA. And yet it is possible to reject that programming and build a civilization that respects the freedom of the individual. But that inner nature is always pulling us back, back into snake-worshipping, virgin-sacrificing savagery, which is really all our history amounts to. The history of the human race is the history of a struggle to free ourselves from those evolutionary chains. There is nothing to go back to, no utopia, no prehistoric, primitive Eden. There is only forward. Our goal should solely be focused on perfecting the protection of individual liberty, and strictly limiting the power of government. Everything else falls into place.
