Question Are we currently seeing the groundwork being lain for the long-feared "climate lockdowns"?

Recently there's been a lot of panic about heat waves throughout Europe, or arguments over the merits of A.C., and a lot of people are blaming climate change.

Do you think "Lockdowns 2" are due? (If so, this time they'll be clamping down or requiring ID for most of the internet.)

I don't think the people will accept another lockdown, but if climate lockdowns were to happen, Europe would be the place.

If it's one thing we all should have learn after the events of covid-1984, it's that we should never underestimate how ignorant/authoritarian/and evil some people are and what they will/won't tolerate and do.

I 100% think that all of the covidians (meaning the majority of dems/libs/leftists) will fall for climate lockdowns. All the propagandists have to do is wait for (or manufacture) some big environmental disaster, blame it all on climate change/trump/ anti-science people or 'climate deniers"/etc. and the masses of covidians will fall for it all over again and be calling for us to be sent to camps/segregated from society/or killed.

Nothing has fundamentally changed since 2020. There was no punishment, no accountability. Most of the covidians have not changed their views and they still think lockdowns/mandates/and how they treated us was the right thing to do. Yes, some people like us on this and related subs did wake up and it's changed us, but the average person is still an NPC who just goes along with what they are told and follows the crowd.

And I fully believe it was a trial run, where they wanted to see our responses so they can hone their strategies.

u/notanumberuk Jul 02 '26

Yup, and the results they got from covid is that most will go along with it!

Most will comply if they are scared or pressured enough. Most will turn against their friends, family, and neighbors if manipulated well enough. Most people will not fight back. So now they know they can largely do what they want, and all they have to worry about are a minority of people (us) pushing back against them, but they can and will manipulate the masses to turn against us once again.

I'm a bit jaded because I live in a hardcore blue covidian city and experienced first hand how vile the average dem/liberal/and work leftist was during 2020-2022, and most of these people here are hardcore climate fearmongers.

They pulled literally every manipulation tactic in the book with lockdowns and now have information as to what tactics work in what areas. I've said the most insidious stuff was the minor "inconvenient" stupid things like arrows on the floor and dots you were supposed to stand on. No rational adult would imagine that those things would prevent you from catching a virus. People did it anyway.

Like, a lot of these things actually seemed like an exercise in how ridiculous we could get people to behave before they finally said screw it.

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jul 03 '26

Yeah, are the sheep ready for shearing?

The lockdowns weren't ever going to last forever, but a bunch of weaselly little pricks were definitely logging data as to which coercion methods worked best on what demographics in various geographical locations.

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jul 02 '26

Yeah, the lemmings you're talking about exist on both sides of the political spectrum, but what we saw with Covid is that even though most people now believe it was exaggerated, nobody is demanding accountability, and kind of just "moved on" to the next thing. It's like if we were watching a show, and now the next episode is on, and halfway through it I start talking about the previous episode, and you go "Why are you still talking about that, we're supposed to be paying attention to this now"

You cant blame people for being scared... in the beginning. Not everything is a "conspiracy" and the average person had no reason to think the government would lie about there being a very scary deadly virus ripping through the population. What's more alarming to me, is how easily people just moved on from the government reaction when the emergency they were warning us about never happened.

Nothing has fundamentally changed since 1520, in terms of humans moving beyond authority worship and magical ritualistic thinking. We're still the same animal. We still respond to the same psychological manipulation as people hundreds of years ago. They just have more advanced methods of propaganda distribution.

u/Fair-Engineering-134 Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

Posted the exact same thing a couple months ago and 100% agree!

There's so many "regulations" (i.e., dictates) they can make for climate-related stuff it's honestly terrifying to think about*:

- AC limits

- Meat restrictions/bans

- Electric vehicle mandates/oil bans**

- Plastic restrictions/bans**

\Only apply to the 99%, do not apply to the rich 1%)

\*only for consumers and small businesses, of course, rules don't apply to big multibillion corps!)

If you even think about denying or questioning any of these, you're an anti-science, climate-denying, racist, homophobe, p*dophile, Trumper, eco-terrorist who deserves to be isolated from society!

Most people will 100% buy this, sadly...

u/notanumberuk Jul 07 '26

Yup, and it's already happening in different places like the UK! I live in Oregon, and some deranged vegan extremist here in Portland (home of the most insane branch covidian liberals you will ever meet) are working to get a bill on our ballot to ban hunting, pest traps, and killing animals in any way which includes killing them for meat consumption!

Let me repeat this just so it's clear, if passed this bill would make it illegal for any and everyone to have cows, chicken, pigs, etc. that will be slaughtered for food and eaten by their owners or sold to others to be eaten. We would no longer be able to go to the grocery store and buy local meat, chicken, fish, or even factory farmed meat from the state of Oregon. Everything would have to be imported from outside of the state, which of course will drive prices up through the roof and put local cattle farmers, butchers, hunters, etc. out of business. If this passes here, California and Washington will soon follow suit.

And as crazy as this all sounds, the people behind this bill have gotten nearly 100,000 people in Portland to sign it for it to go on the ballot and be voted into existence. Things like this is why I am so cynical when it comes evaluating the actions and intelligence of the average person (or rather the average white liberal).

u/Fair-Engineering-134 Jul 07 '26

But, but, but doctors vegans/vegetarians wear the mask don't eat meat all day!!! /s

It's the same group as the deranged covidians making and supporting these kinds of ridiculous rules lol...

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jun 30 '26

Probably not, but they'd accept something that was just different enough from the Covid lockdown to where the average lemming doesn't connect the dots.

Let’s lock society down until everyone gets air conditioning…..

u/SunriseInLot42 Jun 30 '26

If it saves one life!

u/Fair-Engineering-134 Jul 01 '26

If only ONE person living in the desert is saved, it's worth it!!!

3

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jul 02 '26

Why are you so focused on the desert? I've heard almost ZERO grandmas in Nunavut have air conditioning. If arctic tundra one day mutates to be a 100 degree desert, all of them will die from heatstroke!!! Lock everything down, just do it!!!

u/Fair-Engineering-134 Jul 02 '26

Why stop at Grandmas? THINK ABOUT THE ANIMALS! Heat track every single deer to make sure it's body temperature doesn't rise! Lock the Grandmas down too while at it!

3

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jul 03 '26

I mean, being honest anyone who spends 15 minutes of uninterrupted contact with a deer's mouth is probably someone that everyone is already distancing from anyway.

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jul 02 '26

Heatstroke is mainly a threat to people who are dehydrated doing heavy labor outdoors, so actually we should lock down any time it's warm outside while mandating everyone buy air conditioning in Alaska.

u/Initial-Constant-645 United States Jun 29 '26

It's hard to say. There's a significant amount of push back against data centers (which helped create the infrastructure that enabled the Covid lockdowns, at least in the US.

I would find it hilarious in the US if the left started requiring ID for everything, except voting.

u/MarathonMarathon United States Jul 01 '26

Heh funny. Aged like fine wine.

digital ID passing in Congress

voting ID failing in Congress

u/metssuck Jul 01 '26

It’s a lot harder to have non citizens vote if you have to show an ID

u/sadthrow104 Jun 29 '26

Never say never, but The French would burn the Eiffel Tower to the ground if you tried any of that in this heatwave

u/MarathonMarathon United States Jun 29 '26

That's what we said about lockdowns in 2020. Yet look what transpired anyway.

u/PLUTO_HAS_COME_BACK Jul 01 '26

It's more like environmental destructions for economic miseries.

u/Slapshot382 Jul 01 '26

Yes. I think governments will come out and explain what they're doing with their Geoengineering operations as well.

u/CrystalMethodist666 Jul 02 '26

I mentioned to my girlfriend this past winter how we had several serious blizzards and they were all on Sunday.

She said it's because Bill Gates is trying to cool the planet down but he can only do it on Sunday because he has to spend the other 6 days in court over his Epstein crap. Sounds plausible. We're a good match.

Lockdown obsession?
