The Anglosphere countries are experiencing a top-down Color Revolution, similar to the ones tried out first on former Eastern European Soviet bloc countries. The telltale signs are:

Behind-the-scenes coordination of Government—NGOs—Tech cos—media to craft and enforce narratives and then to police these narratives;

Vilification of all opponents in the most florid terms possible: they can't just be wrong or have a different perspective, they must be Nazi racist genocidal extremists;

Encouragement of a civil war-type schism in societies (You're either with us or against us), where citizens are prompted to attack those on the other side of the divide, spy on them and rat them out to authorities;

And then one more special twist: Denigration of the cultural heritage of all Anglospeshere countries, in the hope of making all prior political arrangements appear illegitimate at best or evil at worst, with the goal (as in all successful takeovers) of replacing all prior leaders, systems and beliefs with those of the new rulers, who install commissars at every institutional chokepoint, to make sure their narratives are blasted out of every megaphone, and competing narratives muted.

As the overseas Color Revolutions were just a beta test for what's happening here, Covid was another test to see how docile our populations are and how far they can be molded and manipulated by steady applications of fear and propaganda.

And in this regard, Covid was a smashing success and a blueprint for future "Emergency" takeovers, with more to come soon.
