COVID Theater
/From the shutdown to face masks to useless plexiglass shields, (Mocked by experts and anyone with common sense from the very first) the central authorities’ response to Kung Flu has been about enhancing government power and stripping citizens of their freedom. Nothing new here, as the 9/11 response showed: kabuki theater at our airports, to distract us from the huge expansion of wiretapping and spying on U.S. citizens is just one example; useless gestures like banning plastic straws at the suggestion of a six-year-old to end global warming and save polar bears is a lesser one, but annoying nonetheless.
Anyway, here’s yesterday’s buffoonery: UPDATE: This was a very funny video of the idiots’ dance set to music, but Twitter has now disabled the script: there will be no mocking of Dear Leader(s).
