I think that the governments' reaction to Covid-19 and especially the easy acceptance of the restrictions imposed by them on the people, has paved the way for submission without resistance to power, as soon as the latter articulates that it is for the common good. If this continues then the "New World Order" will not be democratic, but totalitarian. Is a Chinese virus enough to bring down democracy?! Did the virus replace the revolution?! Is this the final, decisive war on earth?! Unless you are dominated by a totalitarian mindset, I think it is wrong to believe that the only effective form of action is to do something out of fear of punishment, or coercion by the government.

Ylli Manjani: Why did Vucic break Rama's meeting This way of acting is easily accepted by people who have difficulty understanding freedom and are recruited with "high readiness" into the army or the Popular Front of conformist violence against others, with the well-known Marxist-Leninist argument of acting "for the common good "; argument which eliminates the need to provide evidence and explanations, and eliminates concrete individual responsibility in favor of theoretical collective responsibility.
Rather than convincing people of a higher level of hygiene, the government managed to convince them that the other man was the enemy of their lives, not the virus, nor the lack of personal hygiene eg. This not only allowed governments to not admit that isolation is wrong, does not protect you from the virus, but instead continues today to allow them to impose restrictions on life and the economy. Governments will never willingly admit they were wrong. But not only is our life and economy not the property of the government, not only is life an individual responsibility, but the principle of democratic governance has been and must remain that when the government lacks evidence of the threat, then it cannot and should not take no action.
