How an uncanny thing called covid destroyed our lives

The years of living with increasingly oppressive Covid restrictions and mandates is a tale of many villains complicit in tyranny and a few heroes of resistance. It’s a story of venal, incompetent politicians and brutish police – thugs in uniform – acting at the behest of power-drunk apparatchiks.

Medically idiotic, economically ruinous, socially disruptive and embittering, culturally dystopian, politically despotic: what was there to like in the Covid era?
[i]
Billions, if you were Big Pharma.

Unchecked power, if you were Big State.

Power over the whole population of a state and fame with extended daily TV appearances on all channels, if you were a chief medical officer.

More money and power over the world’s governments and people for the WHO.

Template for action for climate zealots.

Dreamtime for cops given free rein to indulge their inner bully.[/i]

But anguished despair, if you were a caring, concerned citizen who loves individual freedom and autonomy.

[b]But if you think it was all justified and good, then you have been taken in hook, line and sinker.[/b]

I love how the sentiment you are sharing is that people just follow along with things and are complicit and yet you just copy pasted someone elses writing and followed along with it. How very complicit of you 😂😂😂😂

@Baconrind So you expect everyone to reinvent the wheel?

@Baconrind You win the prize for the most ridiculous comment.

@hippyjoe1955 I don't expect idioms or authentic, original thoughts. I found irony. One could say it's a pandemic of unoriginality. All the best

@Baconrind Yeah the disease was a government creation. The cure was mandated by the government and the vax (killer) was mandated by the government. Hmmm and you want to spread chicken manure on someone's post? Really?
