COVID is just the excuse for the collectivists to do what they always wanted to. By the time most people realise this it will likely be too late. No large scale historical atrocity happened overnight, but rather the environment for these transpired over months and years.
It’s said that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, however there is little evidence that humans as a species are capable of learning from history. Over thousands of years of recorded existence we’ve fallen into the same traps with miserable outcomes.
Each society has ample justifications for its evil at the time of its chosen mass persecution. Inevitably “modern” generations look back on the ignorance of their forebearers with contempt, before repeating those same mistakes with different costumes and implements of torture.
For a brief period in time we understood that the only way to avoid this perpetual cycle was to focus on the primacy of the individual and their rights above all. Sadly this ‘enlightenment’ is rapidly disappearing as we once again surrender to the hive mind of collectivism.
Future historians will look back on this period as both volatile and tragic - the demise of yet another version of civilization with so much promise.
