The underlying sentiment: incredulity at your continued existence in these times of "emergency". Leftists put up with your cultures and ideas and religion when things were good because we could afford such "nonsense" in those times of plenty, but now that things are bad (by their own hands...)? Well now it's time for you to give up your childish behavior (deeply held principles) and get in line (with global communism).
It's like how mass demonstrations over "racial justice" during a supposedly deadly pandemic were totally good and necessary but going to church (aka observing two-thousand year-old religious traditions) was irresponsible behavior that needed to be shut down. There's no coherence or consistency at play there. It's a brazen "friend or foe" distinction.
In the end, that's what this permanent state of emergency is all about: eliminating tolerance for cultures and ideologies that oppose leftism. You see this attitude everywhere. Your freedom is a luxury that is only permitted to you when circumstances are "good", and leftists have arbitrarily decided that circumstances going forward will be "bad". Not for their ideas or desires, of course. Only for your silly, outdated beliefs in freedom, Christianity, tradition, patriotism, etc.
It’s all about destroying any community we might have, IMO, and only leaving behind a shell society of atomized individuals who do not talk to one another, do not associate or organize with one another, and merely eat up whatever the TV news, and the big tech/social media companies tell them to think… 😑
That’s largely why they want to destroy any in-person gathering places, methinks. Because the internet is so much easier to control, and monitor, and scrape clean of “undesirables”/rebels who might question the zeitgeist… 🤷🏻♂️
