I've been working on civil rights stuff for over a decade now. I seen what was coming before the lockdowns fully hit and was calling it out when they were coming. I've also been calling out the whole prove your vaccination or immunity bullshit and how it is creating legal battles over the right to equal access to both government and private services. Something that has gotten me quite a nasty reputation in my local area subreddit.

You do forget that should enough of the "obedient serfs" no longer fear the governing bodies and desire change, it will happen and often very violently.

A stable and functioning nation is often a form of mutualistic symbiosis between the governing bodies and the governed. The strongest of those stable and functioning nations are those that establish contractional agreements in how they operate under the rules of law that govern it is supposed to operate and abide by them.
