> is this why they do the lockdowns are they all being blackmailed? No, but if they refused to thats what the blackmail is for. They do the lockdowns not merely because they're blackmailed, but because they were selected early on for a rare set of traits: cruelty, psychopathy, and arrogance. They're basically totalitarians. And like all totalitarians they pretend to be normal people, if not politicians, while really being a species of fluke worm. I hear rifles are the political equivalent of invertmectin. Because when entire crowds of people show up with rifles, to peacefully demand things go back to normal, miraculously, the fluke worms give up and give in.
