[quote:Deplorable Curly Howard:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjE0NTI4X0ZFQ0I1NDU5] This quote from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov sums it up nicely. Tyrants find it easy to enslave the masses, because most are too weak and frightened to handle true freedom and liberty. [b]“In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, Make us your slaves, but feed us.” “Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that great gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creature is born.”[/b] [/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.
