Abuse is illogical. The greater the divergence from that which makes sense and us ligical, the more value a situation has in destroying a person’s dignity and forcing them to accept degradation and dehumanization. To fight back is to potentially bring things to a head, the risk being that the abuser will respond by doubling down, tripling down on the pattern of abuse, until the person seeking fair treatment relents.
You are saying the exact thing I read on one author’s blog last night. Wish I could recall the website but found it on a link from FR. Essentially the elites cook up madness which runs through society, then isolate individuals from each other (lockdowns) until most people return to a child-like state and seek the comfort of the elite’s womb.
The elites, unable to manage everything since it is impossible to know everything, ultimately fail.
I asked the question because I am highly suspicious of our leaders’ motivations. There are too many “coincidences” that just so happen to always favor our politicians and oligarchs.
