This is a TECHNICAL GENOCIDE.
They are slowly and subtly taking away all our rights, training us to get used to progressive restrictions, many of them apparently not to be blamed on our leaders, but on the overall situation (which was allowed to escalate by the very same incompetent leaders). We are losing the right to work, the right to travel, the right to associate, etc. Soon there might be an assault on the right to access independent information. I lived in a communist country and I know how people can be tamed to comply like a flock of sheep in a paddock. The main driver is the need to secure food. Have you been to a supermarket lately? Have you seen cues and shortages like this before in your lifetime? When you fight to get access to food for your family, you forget to fight for your other rights. Just wait and see. (This is not only about our leaders and their tactics here in New Zealand, but about all leaders in the World who, out of stupidity, inexperience, greed, desire for power, or any combination of those, have allowed and encouraged this to happen.)
You might think that my opinions are exaggerated now, but in a few weeks you will see they have actually been very mild. We are witnessing a technical genocide. It’s not just the sick old people dying, we are also burying the future of our children.
