Controlled opposition maybe..?

The actions by government fits the old definition of fascistic very well. It's collusion with private companies and media groups, whereby they aren't the ones doing these things to you, it's the private business etc.

I wonder if this was actually not supposed to be seen, as in 5 years down the road they start disappearing people who dissent and just use this rule as justification. They'll do the same with masking and vaccinations, the rules are already in place.

2 quotes come to mind:

"Never let a crisis go to waste."

and

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” - Frank Zappa
