When we accepted the first Covid lockdown, we didn’t comprehend the sheer scope of what was being agreed to. Immediately after ‘two weeks to flatten the curve’, we passed a point of no return. From that point on, our efforts were mostly futile and we had basically lost.
Firstly, a dramatic sense of fear and seriousness was instilled into the population. No amount of facts, logic, argumentation or rhetoric from laymen could reverse this. The first two weeks of lockdown communicated to citizens that ‘Covid is extremely serious – countries all around the world locked down for it’. In their minds, anyone contradicting every major world power on this front was a brainwashed, misinformed fool. There was no uninstalling this radical program of ‘the current thing’ from the general psyche.
Secondly, a precedent was set for governments to enact other serious measures for Covid and beyond. As soon as a state is granted emergency powers, it will abuse those powers to the most of its abilities. Thus, the first lockdown inevitably leads to further lockdowns, vaccine mandates and the further consolidation of power. The well-established ratchet effect makes it is extremely difficult or not impossible to revoke a power which has been granted to a government. We can not go back from the precedent which has now been set, and with it; a new baseline for what is accepted as normal.
At the time, since we didn’t understand the seriousness of Covid, many were enticed by lockdowns as a ‘better safe than sorry’ strategy. Foolishly, while focused on Covid, we severely underestimated the danger presented by the measure itself and the tremendous implications of what a simple, unassuming two week lockdown meant for the future of our nations.
Western powers have so much contempt for native Whites that the long-term danger of an emergency power far exceeds the danger presented by basically any crisis. Never let them get away with this trick ever again. They will almost certainly use the same strategy once more; whether its for monkeypox, the climate ‘emergency’, nuclear war or something else. Next time, nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.
