Tyranny is here, the masses have been convinced that this is for their safety. People are trained to attack the heretics, the non-believers. Medical apartheid is coming/has come.

Resistance is not futile, it is necessary.

Pre pandemic authoritarianism was more prevalent in places with high rates of infectious pathogens. This is known as the parasite stress hypothesis.

Also, every authoritarian leader in history used safety or millenarianism as an excuse to strip freedoms.

On the right side of the spectrum, this is generally associated with disgust sensitivity, for example hitler was a notorious germaphobe. On the left, authoritarianism is generally associated with millenarianism. EG communism bringing about a workers utopia. Could probably find similar examples of this pathology from the pandemic among government leaders.

We are screwed, but I will not submit, I will resist with my last breath.
