That’s true. But thanks to these lockdowns, a lot of countries across the world are approaching breaking point. It will only be a matter of time before law and order collapses. When that happens, strong communities with different attitudes will form. And people will just carry weapons irrespective of the law because nobody will respect the police.

Here in Ireland, we have a group of people called travellers. They’re sort of like gypsies. They don’t follow the lockdown restrictions and they do whatever they want. Our police officers and our courts are terrified of them. So they do wha they want. They have strong tightly-knit communities to help enforce their immunity from the authoritarians. Kinda jealous of them. Wished that the general Irish population had that level of collective strength.

This is a bad comparison though. I agree, Western-style rule enforcement is always going to have trouble enforcing rules against drifters and people with nothing to lose. Look at homeless people in the US. They can basically do whatever the fuck they want because there's nothing you can really do to them besides locking them in jail and throwing away the key. When a person has nothing to lose, they are hard to control. Western-style policing frowns upon just removing these people from society (something I would look to be considered).

So this far off idea that we're going to be able to live like nomads with nobody pushing against us is always going to be wrong. Unless you're happy living in a van down by the river, you're going to be fucked with. If you have money, if you have a business, if you have property, if you're employed, you'll always have something to lose.

Stuff is going to have to get pretty bad for people to start sacrificing their homes, jobs, vacations, to go out and have their lives destroyed in the name of opposing these political forces.
