At American Thinker,
"When the coronavirus landed on our shores, communist China came with it. We have become part of a mass scale human experiment in government control and it turned out that stripping away our freedom wasn’t all that difficult. Under the guise of concern for our health and well-being, tyrants came out of the woodwork."

Bringing enlightened leadership to the locals who,
at first, go along obsequiously.
(Jose Garnelo 1892) |
Carol Brown expands the thought: "Our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our lives are being destroyed as the left solidifies and expands their oppressive powers. We’ve been herded around like cattle, threatened, isolated, confined, silenced, and arrested."
This is true enough but the inner tyrant can be found left, right and centre. Some of this traces to our family structure where as infants we experienced being tightly managed.
I close with
the C.S. Lewis quote:
"To be "cured" against one's will":
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience".
