The West Is Burning Down Before Our Eyes: If Western democracies can morph into being like Communists over a virus, what can’t they do?

Perhaps nothing has done more to expose the authoritarian tendencies of many “democratic” leaders throughout the world than COVID-19. Australia has perhaps been the most visible example, with numerous viral videos showing police viciously beating people for transgressions as small as not wearing a mask in public. Then there are the COVID concentration camps where people are forced into multi-week confinement — even if they aren’t positive for the virus.

The scenes out of Europe are hardly better. Today, a video emerged that is so brutal that you’d think it was filmed in mid-’30s Germany. It comes from Amsterdam, and involves police assaulting people and attacking them with dogs.

If you can’t watch the video, what it shows is a dog latching onto a man’s arm, while police beat him (and others) with batons for “breaking” COVID restrictions. Worse, once the man is on the ground, arm bent back, and likely injured, the police just continue to hit him instead of ordering the dog to release him. As the scene unfolds, other police officers gather around to block the view of cameras filming the incident.

It was an absolutely disgusting spectacle, and it happened in a nation that is ostensibly a “free” democracy. Yet, these Western countries aren’t operating as such. Rather, they are mimicking the tactics of communist and fascist nations throughout history, all the while still insisting they hold some moral superiority over the next tin-pot dictator.

But that moral authority is burning down before our eyes, and that’s assuming these nations even had any left after the last two years of draconian, tyrannical, COVID mitigation measures. If Western democracies can morph into the CCP over a virus, what can’t they do?

There will always be the “next crisis” to feed the next power grab, and once you allow authoritarians a taste for total control, they never relinquish it. That’s why those who are fighting back in the streets right now, including that man in that video, are so important. While many on the left in the United States scoff at the idea of individual rights right now, we cease to have a society worth preserving the moment those rights are taken away — no matter what the excuse is.

Here’s the bottom line: You cannot claim to be better than the tyrants when you aren’t actually better than the tyrants. Right now, Western nations that once claimed to be beacons of freedom and prosperity are showing their true colors. That’s not only morally repulsive, but it’s a dangerous situation for the world. China and Russia are more than happy enough to use the moral ambiguity fostered by many of the world’s “democracies” over the last two years to justify their own authoritarian goals.

This didn’t have to happen, but far too many people got far too comfortable with the idea that their leaders were “different” and could be trusted. But they aren’t different, and now the Overton window has been moved to the point where public beatings for not wearing an ineffective facemask or daring to exit one’s home are now seen as acceptable and necessary.

Decades of built trust and moral authority in the West have been flushed down the toilet. And for what? To combat an airborne virus we can’t control anyway? One can only hope this represents a wake-up call for enough people that some ground can be retaken.

liberalism has been the vanguard for communism/socialism

they use the hegelian dialectic all the time

[saintgermaine]

It appears that very little has changed since the days of Hitler and the tactics of the Gestapo.

The Netherlands went to the dogs today, no kidding.

Excellent article and spot-on.

Decades of built trust and moral authority in the West have been flushed down the toilet.

The trust in government and belief in the moral authority of government have been chipped away at by Democrats and their communist allies for almost three decades under every pretense possible. It greatly accelerated under Obama. The reactions of state and federal governments to the stolen election wiped out most of the remaining "trust and moral authority."

Now the full communist Democrat Congress combined with this virus (that we cannot do anything about) and the newly "woke" military have brought us to what may be the breaking point for the end of the Republic.

Still too many people are not connecting the dots that this isn't just about a virus. This has been the most slow-walked and exploited "emergency" I've ever seen, a dead giveaway that other agendas are actually at work.

The police just want people to be healthy.

Once lost, it can never be regained.

So they will replace COVID-19 with rabies.

[sten]

here in the US, such measures would be against the law.

yes, they’re trying to push it ... but it’s still unConstitutional.

of course, the main reason things are heading in such a direction is due to progressives being in those govt offices at all levels.

remove progressives from these countries to save those countries

[PeachyKeen]

I guess not. Hard to believe this absurdity is still going on in year 3. Unbelievable. Hubby and I still carry on like normal people. We are both approaching our 70’s. No mask, not injected with something we don’t want in our bodies. We are not anti-fax. This is not a vaccine.

[joshua c]

the governments are unleashed

[dragnet2]

The dog just wanted to convince that man to comply, for his own health, safety and well being.

Another one who thinks “democracy” means non-totalitarian government. If only Bonchie had read what the left said about democracy.

(T)he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy.

— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2

What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat.

— The Principles of Communism

(I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.

— Woodrow Wilson, “Socialism and Democracy”

It is therefore no mystery that the democracies of the so-called West were able to switch from freedom to tyranny at the drop of a hat—because they are really socialist states by definition.

Those who do not know the difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic must do so before they get consumed by the democracy aka the socialist state.

— “This has been the most slow-walked and exploited ‘emergency’ I've ever seen, a dead giveaway that other agendas are actually at work.”

I conclude from the most basic “official” data that the “official” pandemic is a lie. And, yes, a dead giveaway that other agendas are at work.

As of 2 January 2022:

For the world:

( 5,440,715 “global deaths) / 7,917,528,778 global population ) x 100 = 0.0687%

Less than seven one-hunredths of one percent “global deaths” from Covid over two years.
