I'm not just talking about where I am (Australia, as most of you already know, by now), either... Some of the stuff I hear coming out of the US is actually worse (mandates to even attend University, for example... That isn't legal here, yet...), and you guys are all about your "freedom", or so you claim, at least...
But it seems to be pretty much everywhere. Chile - mandates for everything, and masks everywhere. Peru - gender-based curfews. The UK - PCR tests to even fucking travel. Canada - increasingly awful mandates and restrictions. France, Italy, Germany - vaccine passports and masks. Japan - separating children and mothers, and forcibly quarantining them separately...
And you already know about China, and South Africa, and New Zealand, Australia, and of course the US, so I don't feel the need to go over all those shitholes again.
What scares me, though, is the COMPLETE LACK OF ACTUAL RESISTANCE to all of this, except for France, Germany and the UK, and even then it has achieved fuck all...
Seriously, I'm not advocating violence, I'm honestly not, but if people don't, and won't, stand up now... How the fuck are we going to avoid full global fascism, a la 1984..?!
I never thought people would be this fucking weak, or utterly, utterly... Worse than cowardly. I'm not sure "coward" accurately describes someone who snitches on their neighbours, or their family, or "reports" people to the authorities for posting old travel snaps (yeah, that happened here, last year). I'm not sure it applies to someone who LITERALLY WANTS PEOPLE LIKE ME DEAD, because I'm not willing to get the fucking AstraZeneca jab. Nah, I don't think "coward" cuts it. I'm not quite sure what does. Fascist? Bastard? Literal scum of the earth? How the FUCK did society fall like this, so quick, nevermind all the other insane bullshit going on right now, all over the place..?
Fuck.
Part of the reason you aren't seeing it in the US, is the places most likely in the US to revolt aren't really experiencing any of this.
I'm metro-adjacent in Texas, everything is open, everyone is out, masks aren't common, kids aren't wearing them to school, I don't know of anyone asking for vaccine proof yet, etc. I have not really personally experienced peak clown world in 4 months now. I'm not sure about universities as I'm so far from going there I don't pay attention to that. Even the places here that are going tyrannical, they are 60%+ leftists, many of which want it.
So my point being when the places most likely to be irritated and revolt are only watching all these restrictions in other places on TV, they aren't going to do much. Note, I'm not saying they will when it gets to them as I have little faith in that either.
