Tin foil time.
The last time an educated country had a genocide, checking papers, or segregation, etc...was WW2 and here with regards to blacks (non-genocide). Since then, those days were over and it's been decades since. I say educated societies because there still is genocide in 3rd world countries, with the exception of communist countries like China (considered an educated society).
What if COVID was all a test to see what "they" can get away with and how far they can push the people? Obviously we know how communist countries can do things with little push back. But in the US, UK, Australia, Asia, etc... it's a little different.
For the test to begin, they need a reason (covid). A reason that causes fear and plays on emotion. Then to push a narrative and make sure said narrative remains (fact checkers, control of media, etc...) It's harder now due to many platforms available and the internet. Compared to WW2 where there was no internet or even TV broadcast. Then in the Jim Crow era, there was TV, but no internet. So today's new era involves the net.
Look at all the times Fauci has been wrong, but yet people believe everything he says. Then add in the anger toward the unvaxxed, segregation, restrictions of freedom, closure of non-essential businesses, etc...People narc'd on each other (HQKB FB group as an example) or are OK with coercing to get vaxxed all in the name of public safety.
This though is kind of like my "Why did the Holocaust Happen" thread, but more tin foil.
So the question is, in 30 years, which side of history will you be on (provided some of u old folk are still alive). We know most here are against mandates, with the exception of 1 or 2 of course.
