It’s notable that the USSR targeted churches and nuclear families as its greatest enemies. One of the first things it did was make it so you could get a divorce simply by mailing in a postcard.

Why?

Because these institutions were stronger than the state.

If Disney World can operate with temperature checks, masks, and distancing in lines without making Florida an absolute cesspool of COVID superspreading, why can’t they make a list of protections for people to safely join their families for thanksgiving and Easter?

I don’t see any rationale for this except the purposeful disruption of social cohesion around centers other than the state. They want one and only one center of social cohesion, the state, and they are making apps and currencies to enforce state-sanctioned behaviors that form it.

Is it any coincidence that both the excelsior app and the digital currencies are first based around vaccines, and that the public messaging is that if everyone has two vaccine doses you can now hit your daughter or have a small gathering?

This is conditioning to first identify a state-sanctioned behavior and then allow the privilege of bonding with your own family as something that is fully predicated on the family embracing the state-sanctioned behavior. The app and currency will be enforcement mechanisms.
