[quote:Anonymous Coward 73568822:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjE0MDQ2XzQ5RTIxQzMz] [quote:puzzlesphere:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjEzODI5XzFDQzNDRjI1] In Sydney, Australia, I am finding it way worse than that. The cognitive dissonance is completely off the charts! No second lock-down seems to on the horizon, just a constant cauldron of boiling COVID fear. Which, as you say, people seem to love, and there is almost a sense of disappointment in some people that we haven't had our second lock-down! It is pure insanity! It seems the vast majority here have complete trust in media and our Gov... frightening! My own mother won't discuss anything other than her dog, Thanksgiving and Christmas, even though the restrictions are making her life demonstrably worse. Everyone is extraordinarily complacent (we're the best in the world), and complete compliance (our Gov knows best, and would never do [i]anything[/i] to hurt us). I have started describing Sydney as "District 1", from [i]The Hunger Games[/i]... It is surreal! [/quote] This post right here is everything I've noticed and wanted to say. Hollywood was always a psyops showing us their future plans. [/quote]

I’m trying to figure it out.
I’ve seen it first-hand with several family members on family text. They seem downright
excited
with the new restrictions placed locally, as mild as they are compared to other places. That’s the only way I can describe it accurately - there’s real energy and excitement about the new restrictions, like they can now become more fully part of the pandemic movie they’re playing in their heads.
To be clear, this isn’t about my family members. I’m using them as first-hand experience with how the minds work of those who are compliant. It’s disturbing. It’s like street theatre and they can’t wait to participate.
I’m interested in hearing what others’ experiences are with those all on-board with restrictions, and what you think is their motivation behind it. So many people are acting in ways I never thought the majority in society would act like.
