The anger has been bubbling for much longer. Covid became the perfect tool to suppress. Until it bubbles into meltdown.
What happens the first second lockdown is lifted. Mass protest resumes. So here is more lockdown. Preemptively. Like that will hold the societal dam bursting.
What is that long game. People have been robbed, jobs are gone everywhere, if you opened back up and they're not, it doesn't rebound like a tap on/off. It takes a steady flow. But there is no normality on the horizon not for years, best another 2, worst never the same at today's rate, because there ain't no unicorns with mounting debt just increasing dystopia.
So what happens. You have a big dumb angry population held by lockdown. Imploding. Where is daisy. Doesn't history simply occur. A perfect storm causing all the dominoes to go off. Pandemic, economic collapse, then conflict or revolution?
Not in America. Revolution is like work n stuff.
