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.
Larry Correia is fucking awesome.
Also, I'm not sure a Fort Sumter is avoidable, sadly. Those in power have the weight of allegedly Legitimate Authority behind them. They can push and push and push, and in many eyes still claim the "moral" high ground simply due to being the government. It's terrible logic, it's not true, but it's true in the eyes of many of the governed. Those in charge could actually send troops door-to-door, they could set up the camps, and any response to that would still be viewed as uncalled for.
I'm not sure the current regime could do anything that wouldn't be overshadowed by the response, no matter who grotesque their actions. Too many people are stuck in the 'government good' mindset. Which is terribly ironic since most of those people also hate America. If this kicks off, the anti-government side will be labeled the bad guys, no matter what.
