Yes. This.

It is astonishing to watch the velocity of this malevolent arrogation and the brazen abrogation of our autonomy/agency/rights. For a lack of a better way of saying it; it's like watching Stalin or Hitler come to power at the speed of light, while simultaneously having the sense you're watching it in slow motion, knowing how it's going to end.

What's perhaps more astonishing is the supplication and propitiation of the public to the god of government - or worse imo, blind indifference - at least those at the alter think they're getting "manna" in exchange for their gifts, appeasement and sacrifices to their gods.

"There can be no greater pleasure in life than to choose one's enemy, inflict terrible pain and revenge on him, and go quietly to bed, secure in the knowledge that one has done good."

- Stalin

Shit, today Stalin would be a narcolept having a perpetual wet dream.

These Communist/Marxist/Fascist (pick one; I can't make up my mind today) thugs are committing evil and practicing Luciferic deception for "goodness" in broad daylight - simultaneously satiating the inner sadist and moralist.
