please stop comparing anti covid measures that are supposed to prevent the collapse of the health care system with nazi crap. this trivializes one of the worst crimes in our history and is just plain stupid.

The point is those crimes came about not just because there was an evil criminal at the helm but because everyone for a long time went along with everything that led to these.

My ancestors were I guess "lucky" when they fled to the UK from Russia 100 years ago. Those who ended up in mainland Western Europe at the time not so much as it turned out.

Now sure, I'm not suggesting Austria is about to build concentration camps or extermination facilities just yet but how easy human rights are disregarded and society can be shut down "for the greater good" I definitely think is troubling, as is vaccinating healthy children who stand no risk from Covid 19 itself. Mandating the vaccine in children I bet will be next when even 100% of triple jabbed adults still doesn't stop the spread (note the quickly waning effectiveness after 3-6 months also). Furthermore I wonder if this society shutdown would be accepted without Amazon deliveries, without Netflix and without Pornhub.

As someone pointed out a while ago here in the UK:

We have a National Health Service with a country attached to it.

.... There are divisions that are changing their name to National Health Security Service ....

... this vaccine drive (it's crossed over from a rational rollout into some kind of bizarre moral crusade) has clearly gone off the rails in many mostly Western countries and is careening into authoritarian crazy times

... maybe society was just primed for it and it was inevitable something would come along and have caused the same grasping for totalitarian order in the midst of a chaotic unravelling ... but the progression into totalitarianism is likely exponential in the creeping expansion of goverment into every part of society has gathered pace immensely in the last 2 years

... as with all exponential growth it is easy to ignore the effects until it seems to explode into something outsized and uncontrollable overnight .... gradually then suddenly ...

...you are now into the routine and marching lockstep to get your 5th or 6th booster jab knowing several more thousand will be willingly sacrificed with adverse reactions but feel strogly morally duty-bound to take part in the ritual, you will feel a sense of weird satisfication even knowing with perfect certainty that this what must be done, some healthy people are going to die... in fact you will probably feel more connected in solidarity with society and necessity of sacrifice than at any other time in your life, you are volunteering, participating in clubs, the vaccine drives are giving you a sense of purpose and meaning

.... at this point you know you are part of the mass hypnosis, basically you are now a drone in a totalitarian ritual sacrifice cult
