It’s common now to speak of the before times in contrast to the after times. The turning point was of course March 16, 2020, the day of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve, though authoritarian trends predate that. Rights were suddenly broadly throttled, even religious rights. We were told to conduct every aspect of our lives in accordance with the priorities of the bio-medical security state.
Very few people anticipated such a shocking development. It was the onset of a new state-conducted war and the enemy was something we could not see and hence could be anywhere. No one has ever doubted the omnipresence of potentially dangerous pathogens but now we were being told that life itself depended entirely on avoidance of them and the only guide going forward would be public-health authorities.
Everything changed. Nothing is the same.

That is a polite way to say "fascism".
Good list, just about covers it all.
Excellent article, thanks for posting.
covid lockdowns:a perfect storm of fascism ...
Agree
How many churches now sit empty because they went along with the narrative? I've seen three church structures, all literally with a quarter mile of each other, that have been sold to local merchants and turned into a business of some sort. They paid the price for their betrayal.
We often talk about how things were “BC.” Before Covid.
One of the realities showed us that the gov fully Intends to become militant towards citizens, pitting citizens agaisnt each other to accomplish the task. Kerry was speaking about restricting ranches from raising any more beef worldwide, ans other issues that are falsley blamed for causing climate change, and actually said out loud :perhaps we need to get more militant over this
” Kerry said. “Wherever I go, I ask young people, ‘Look, let’s be more militant, all of us.’ We’ve got to go out and demand more, push for more, and don’t take ‘less-than’ for an answer.”:
Embarrassed to say even my church had one foot in the foolishness, even with my remonstrating to the elders.
Have not seen that use of B.C. yet, but believe I will borrow that from you from time to time.
It’s a blog...
Why not post the whole thing right here?

As a conservative/libertarian - I admit it is bemusing to see this happen in real time and not reading about it in history books.
There is a word for “before covid.”
It is called “freedom”.
I knew this country was doomed after this lesson reared its ugly head.
As a courtesy to the writers. People go to the website and see other articles that may interest them. cheers
Sighing lol - yep!
Unfortunately - you are correct.
“Cowardice of intellectuals“
There are still a lot of radio guys and guests who won’t say that the dems stole the election . Even Mark Simone who’s usually spot on tiptoes around it.
