I don't want a "pre pandemic freedom" back. Because that would imply returning to the conditions that caused these very problems.

I want the people who stole the very definition of normal, and are holding it hostage to try and force the rest of us to bend the knee, to be savagely punished for what they've done.

I want what we do to them to make the fucking history books.

Yarvin puts it a great way. Imagine a man in a drug induced coma. Most of the time he is entirely unaware of the world around him, but one day he notices a slight uncomfortable pressure below him. The only thought that floats through his mind is a desire for the pain in his ass to go away.

Back in reality, he has been getting raped near constantly, and this mild pain in his ass is the most brutal ass fucking he has had yet. From his persepctive simply wanting the pain in his ass to go away is reasonable. He will easily be satisfied by a liberal amount of hemorrhoid cream. If he ever cuts through the drug haze to achieve a moment of clarity, he will realize the proper goal is to not only stop the people drugging and raping him, but also to ensure someone ass rapes them with even greater brutality.

Things become a lot clearer when you frame them in terms of ass rape.

We have no way of knowing if those numbers are real since it gives them what they want

Most people don't want to be free. They want to be taken care of.

These NPCs are not people whose hearts and minds need to be won. They are the spoils. They will go along with whatever so long as they never feel hunger and can always be entertained away from their miserable lives.

Split polling between major cities and everywhere else and see how well that works out.

Full results at the polling firm's website reveal 19 percent support for a permanent 10pm curfew. Significant minorities favor other permanent restrictions, including: keeping nightclubs and casinos closed forever (26 percent); enforced social distancing in theaters, pubs and sports grounds (34 percent); mandatory 10-day quarantines for people returning from foreign countries (35 percent); mandatory tracking-app check-ins when entering pubs and restaurants (36 percent); mandatory masks in shops and on public transportation (40 percent); foreign travel allowed only with proof of vaccination (46 percent).

I realise polling can be very biased, and this one probably is, but these people do exist and they are parasites. They enjoy the benefits of a free society while not doing even the most basic thing to uphold it. They are scum and should be treated as such.

So... About a third of people actively seek fascism and totalitarian control, according to them.

Sounds about right, really. Maybe a tenth of those right of center, and about half of those left of center, seem to really dig the ideals of totalitarian dictatorship.

The results are scary even if they're not fake, because it's globalists floating the idea, and this will prove to them that enough of the population are willing to go along with their plans.

The only permanent restriction that should stay is the one that our respective governments refused to put in place, and that's to heavily restrict travel from shithole countries.

All countries. Unless those countries restrict travel from shithole countries as well.

in a better time this would have ended with the political class beheaded.

Polls are used to deceive you.

The plebs have gotten used to the Stockholm syndrome. They are onside with their own captors. This is what they meant when they said "new normal". It wasn't referring to masks and fear of bugs.

They have given up freedom in the name of "safety".
