The only thing devastating about Covid was people’s reactions to it. Most of history’s dictators would be surprised by how easy it turned out to be to get people to embrace authoritarianism.
I was shocked at how easy it was to get people to comply with instructions from Government. Even the experts were shocked at how easy it was - they legitimately believed that authoritarianism would never work in a liberal western country - yet virtually every member of the public agreed. Which brings in a troubling and uncomfortable thought - the majority of people have an authoritarian streak and a minority (around 20% in the various polls) would have us in permanent authoritarian measures and controls.
Another thing I note is that while people say they support concepts such as equality and liberty to self-reported studies, in private, they oppose such concepts. The reason why they say one thing and believe another can be put down to social desirability bias - people tell researchers and surveyors what they want to hear based on how others will judge them, not their true beliefs. Same thing happens with dating preferences.
The same tactic to get us to agree to total control through fear is now being played with the climate. We can only hope that the same tactics fall in the same way as they did with lockdown and measures, even if it is going to be short term pain.
It's certainly a weaker and less compelling reason than the more typical attempts to push for "climate change" fighting measures. Too many extra leaps in logic and old people as alleged victims. None of this is liable to fly, even with end of the world panicking zealots.
If that was even remotely true, we would all be showing our vax passports at McDonald's. Don't fall for the gaslighting.
No offense, but I think I see your problem...
It largely succeeded in April 2020 however you can't keep it up forever without brutal oppression of the public. Even the CCP had to swallow that pill. Thankfully these measures fell everywhere but they will try again and expect different results. But the compliance rate for a measure "for your own and others safety" is practically everyone.
Even Psychology, the retard of the science world, figured out how useless self reporting is nearly a century ago.
That's why confederates and double triple deceptions are basically the baseline for any survey. Because if you ask people directly, they will say what they want to be true and how they think you want them to answer.
Its why political polling is the most useless thing ever in existence. It lives entirely just to create propaganda, it reflects nothing else.
they never had social media before.
prior to 2020, coronaviruses were counted as part of the flu season. and sars-cov-2 wasn't even in the top 5 of the last 20 years of flu seasons. we were all lied to.
They lived through the Red Guard wars. They want people at a level of obedience and devotion that will not erupt into violence over who is more communist than the other.
