When governments in the past enacted idiotic or abusive policy–and I would argue these quarantines are both in the forms they are being implemented in–people would gather, listen to speakers, then get angry and go storm the Statehouse, or Governor’s mansion, or something. I am speaking generally and probably not completely realistically, but ponder that most people are not hearing sermons in churches. They are not hearing their legislators speaking to assemblies.
We’re not even supposed to gather, in most States, in groups large enough to have a badminton or chess tournament.
Whatever complaining that is going to happen, happens on-line, and all of that can easily be monitored.
My past comments notwithstanding, I’m on the fence as to whether or not this is a planned, engineered event. But I have ZERO doubt that the many, many people in our State, Local and Federal governments who have latent authoritarian tendencies are seeing this as the opportunity of a lifetime to crack the whip and remind all of us how important they are. I think many Governors never want this crisis to end. It’s just too beautiful.
