Authoritarian rule appears to have become the new world religion overnight. I guess the motto is, "It doesn't matter what happens to you. But I must end up on this side of the fence." The depopulation program (virus, as a first shot in the war on people) is causing a lot of scrambling for survival, and the real authoritarians are safely distant.

People like George Soros, Bill Gates, the Clintons, Merkel, Macron, Bezos, Zuckerberg, et al. are frontmen; program supervisors. And there are thousands of people, from ordinary workers seeking security in a job, to world state Governors, Justin Trudeau, and many world leaders, lining up to help them step on their fellow humans, for whom they have only contempt. That's you and me, bub.

The society depicted in The Hunger Games is just around the corner...with a less likely ending, if you can imagine that. Disarmament, disenfranchisement, and economic ruin of citizenry are necessary steps, but the imbalance of technology is already so great that it's hard to imagine a free world as an outcome of this contest. The forest beyond the fence in the movie, where the heroine honed her hunting skills, will be unavailable because nowhere will escape full surveillance. (That was likely a continuity glitch in the movie, anyway.)

A new world order is appearing, that will have to live out its age and collapse like all previous empires, from within. But brace yourself. It could take quite a while, even as Earth measures these things.

It's all impressions from the Internet; so judge accordingly. My sources are Amazing Polly, Corbett Report, The Last American Vagabond, YouAreFreeTV, and a few others. I'm not free to express any of these ideas among friends or family; I've lost a few friends. It's been suggested that I have dementia (I'm rather old) or schizophrenia. People don't seem to have the mental framework to take in this view. Or maybe they're right! (grin)

And, I dearly hope I'm wrong! My best to you all, and thanks, OP.
