Three standout realities of the last five years. 1) Dystopian-level totalitarianism descended on most of the world, complete with enforced and universal solitary home confinement, extreme censorship, and the crushing of commercial and religious freedom, ending in the force administration of a dangerous genetic/toxic injection created by the military and marketed as a cure. 2) Only a tiny number of prominent voices of any establishment public or private publicly objected; those who did were often punished with professional disgrace and job loss; to date, no one has been held accountable in any form. 3) Open discussion of this horror is still considered impolite and even this post would still be banned in most mainline social media.
