The rallying cry of authoritarians everywhere: it's your own fault for exercising your rights - if you only listened when we told you we'd rescinded them all, you wouldn't be in hospital now, would you?
It's like people have forgotten that every tyrant and dictator throughout history has become one on a platform of wonderful idealism with utopian promises made simply to get them into power.
Or perhaps they've never actually looked into the history of things they're pretending they're against.
These narratives thrive on ignorance.
