You're missing a key point.

This isn't about a virus. It stopped being about a virus after the initial reports and analysis of the cruise ships came out and they knew who was most affected, namely the elderly and obese.. even then, they knew IFR was in the 1%, and Fauci even said so, double the risk of a bad flu for particular groups.

This is about compliance and control.

Failure to understand this leads one to believe you can fight this with data, sternly worded emails or letters.

The minions desire to be ruled.. very little will stop them. This isn't new with millennials, or this generation. This is history repeating itself.

What is new, is the one country in the world founded on a creed, that rights come from God, and govt by the people is instituted to protect those rights, has gone away.

A significant majority no longer believe the statement above, so it's no shocker that what's occurring is.

We've essentially been China with guns for 60+ years.. Bread and circuses. The fruits of that are coming to home now. We may not have the same gun rights soon, moreso than already, and like the Australians, or like the business that were shut down last year, it will largely be done in compliance and with little resistance.

** Edit That's not to say we shouldn't fight or the cause is hopeless. On the contrary, speaking out now is more important than ever, creating small groups to share data and ideas, making local connections, picking people to campaign against locally, like city, county, or school board elections, etc.

However, we should all realize the end result is likely to be very different than the past we all read about in history books. It already is.

That's not new. Lysander Spooner said approximately the same 150 years ago, and he was right then. Not to mention violations involved in conquering Dixie, or situations like the Whiskey Rebellion, which was extremely early. Each time, instead of correcting course, the feds' solutions to these problems were taken as inspired wisdom. Not that most States were much better, but governors are easier to oust.

It never ends. It's just that since 1965, we're not allowed to be a nation at all, to prevent another rebellion.
