Italy has apparently started to form mobs around politicians' homes with the police standing down out of solidarity.

When things start to get to that point, politicians will find a way to dig their way out of the hole.

At that point, politicians will be forced to dig their own hole. In Minecraft, of course

In Germany the government and its media simply frame lockdown protesters as literally Hitler. Journalists and politicians claim there were Nazi symbols among the protesters to smear them. It works even when official opposition inquiries later reveal that police found no forbidden symbols.

The one thing our government excels at above all else is propaganda.

Even if there were the "forbidden symbols" I imagine it was like in Michigan where Whitmer was being completed to a nazi

If i remember correctly it was actually a bernie supporter that went there with the purpose of making everyone look bad. People dug into him and find out he was a plant

Well this Reddit community is woke as fuck. This is the least-cucked Reddit thread I've seen since well before I left that shithole and landed here.

Several months back, I was thinking the virus panic would be the end of a lot of politicians careers because of how obviously insane their reactions have been, and how its security theater at best or insane power-grabs at worst.

I still feel that way about the government reactions, but now I'm growing disillusioned by how many people are still buying into the hype despite more and more evidence showing that its utter nonsense.

There are many reasons we are in that hole:

  • politicians cannot to admit they were wrong
  • governments are slaves to the media and their hysterics and moral panics
  • the whole masks/lockdown issue has become largely political (left vs right, establishment vs the people, etc) so they have to double down on principle
  • it's a perfect excuse for more laws, powers and taxes
  • it's a great distraction from other failures
  • it accelerates the destruction of the middle class and small/mid-sized business
