Another lockdown in UK... so what if there is no vaccine? We live in lockdown for the rest of our lives? This is getting more and more ridiculous and it is unbelievable what governments are doing and people are accepting.
I was a number 1 defender of lockdowns, closed borders, masks, bubbles and etc and I still follow 100% of it. But now it seems to me the "conspiracy theories" (or everything that is not the official media story) are making more sense than reality.

Certain politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsome not to mention other places all over the world whose names i don't know finally got a chance to play out their innate authoritarian desire to gain complete control over the population. Ironically the guy everybody calls a fascist did not take the advantage when he absolutely had the chance to

Yeah a few conservative governments like USA and Brazil decided not to go the authoritarian way, its pretty crazy when you think about it and compare it to the fascist agenda we see in media, although it seems the vast majority of people have no idea what fascism is.

Anyway, one of the lessons I take form covid is that it seems it doesnt matter too much what you do, the virus will come to get your country. Far left governments, far right, centrists, the result is more or less the same. Argentina was being praised a while ago now look what happened. UK is back in lockdown. Sweeden decided to do nothing and the result is the same. If you want to have liberty, you will get the virus. The only thing that seem to work is shutting down your borders, nobody in, nobody out, and even not allowing people to move between states. If you want to get in you need to be tested.
