Many Western countries are evolving into authoritarian regimes in real-time.
But people are so convinced by the illusions of 'freedom' and 'democracy' that they outright refuse to admit what's happening.
The cognitive dissonance is off the charts... The ego won't allow it.
Europe alone has seen the rise of multiple authoritarian regimes over the past few centuries.
It is arrogant and foolish to assume history is 'over' or 'that can't happen here'.
It absolutely can. Human nature has not changed.
Have a Plan B if you value liberty. Real talk.
The ONLY country in the West that is largely protected against totalitarianism is the USA.
And that's because of the 2nd Amendment.
UK, Europe, Australia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand... all ultimately reliant on the benevolence (or wickedness) of their leaders.
Over the next few years, I predict a significant movement of capable people from urban to rural, and from '1st world' countries to '2nd and 3rd world' countries.
The veil has fallen.
Bitter pill to swallow, but here we are.

If you are being pressured, coerced, bullied, shamed, or heavily incentivised to take any 'medicine', it's reasonable to assume it may not in your best interest.
The communication behind this whole thing has been an ever increasing series of red flags.
A lot of people have gone from "Maybe" to "Hell no" as a result of all of the coercive tactics, hostile messaging, and horrible, conflicting communication.
I don't think there's been enough talk about just how awful the communication has been throughout this entire thing...
Unless the terrible communication is intentional. Which is possible.
My skepticism is at an all time high. With good reason. And I don't think I'm alone.
Racism, sexism and homophobia are at an all time low.
It's just that we have the internet now, so you can see the thoughts and actions of billions of people,
all over the world. And react. And see reactions.
An illusion is created where 0.1% of people end up looking like 20%
Also, many people actively seek out content that will anger or upset them. Especially if it confirms their pre-existing beliefs.
Nobody is 100% immune to this. But it's a cognitive error to assume it's representative of the norm.
It's an exception. That's why you noticed it.
A double edged sword of the internet is you can find examples (often with video) of every ill, to paint whatever narrative you want... And use as evidence.
It's not hard to do when you have access to billions of tweets, articles, and videos, dating back decades sometimes.
People here were more concerned about someone saying 'Chinese virus' than the fact the CCP government let this thing spread across the entire world, lied about it, shifted blame, then had their whole country back to normal in months. By magic.
LMAO.
That's some Sun Tzu stuff.
Nobody even asks how China got back to normal so quickly. Prior to any vaccines being available in other countries.
And our 'journalists' don't ask these basic, obvious questions.
