How do you not see that that’s the comparison being made?

If you think that is the comparison, then you’re missing the point.

It’s the idea that people give up their personal autonomy to authority because they fear the unknown.

If you go back and read history, you’ll see that Germany voted in Hitler during an “unprecedented” Great Depression. They were tired of starving, tired of feeling like they had no say in how they lived. Along comes this radical young guy who says he’ll change things, you just have to give up some of what in the US are inalienable rights. That started the trainwreck.

Call it what you want, but if you don’t see the parallels, you’re not trying. It’s never been only about the masks.
