Government has always used fear of the external to induce feelings of Individual hopelessness so that we look to centralized violence to solve our problems. Pulling our attention away from our political systems grievances against us and onto their created problem of the day. This has always been a tactic to hold onto power when our support for them is shaking. But this time it's different, they know the internet is shaking there grip permanently so they will only clamp down tighter. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't coming, it will be a state of emergency forever and the unbearable weight of “necessary” restrictions until we fully break their chains.
