The next time something happens, 'they' will be surprised at the extent many, if not most people either ignore what they say, find ways to work around what they ask, or simply not comply. We were getting there when things lightened up all of a sudden; the judiciary finally woke up and realized how badly people's rights had been trampled and now people were just telling TPTB to fuck off. People, least the intelligent ones, now know the government/law enforcement/judiciary/media/'science' gives not fuck one about them, only their own power and act accordingly.
This is an overly-positive, US-centric view. It does not at all represent how the situation went and how it is currently going in other parts of the world.
The populations in other countries, Canada, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, were very compliant. Adherence to lockdowns, mask, social distancing and other pandemic paranoia nonsense was extremely high in the first 2 years. The bugmen in Asia continued their near-100% compliance well into 2022.
The push for cashless to reduce social contact was a big success. They managed to digitalise third-world countries that were cash-heavy like Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand into widely accepting of cashless options.
The only country outside the US which had any semblance of non-compliance and resistance was the UK. While they complied with lockdowns and pandemic paranoia nonsense in 2020, their adherence to mandates was noticeably lower compared to other countries. This was not helped by Boris Johnson and other political figures breaking their own rules.
There were many prolific acts of resistance in the UK. This ranged from mockery (the man who herded the sheeple into "vaccinated only" train carriages on the tube and made videos on that) to outright disobedience (people standing their ground that they are medically exempt from wearing a mask and refusing to show proof to power-tripping staff and hired enforcers).
They had full-fledged sticker warfare which has continued until this day. It even devolved into replacing posters at bus stops with official-looking ones mocking mandates and pointing out vaccine injuries and dangers.
The Canada trucker protest was too little, too late. Until that happened, there was 2 years of compliance, several months of accepting vaccine mandates. The protests did not even last one month. Subsequently, it was quickly buried and forgotten.
Outside of the US and UK, sticker warfare was mainly seen in Germany, Netherlands and to a limited extent in Australia. There was only one international group, The White Rose. They produced a lot of high quality messaging to wake people up and expose the pandemic scam. However, outside of German and Dutch where translations were quickly available and people even made local content, localisation efforts for other languages and regions was very poor. Presence in Asia was completely missing for The White Rose and the first Chinese localisation for only a few stickers was made only in late 2022.
In Asia, they had full compliance and no resistance. Many Asian countries have over 90-95% vaccination rates and had 100% mask compliance. They also maintained a high compliance rate to get their 4th and 5th jabs and voluntarily wore masks even after the government allowed people to not wear masks and stopped enforcement of vaccine mandates.
Pretty sure this was a test to see what works and what doesn't.
The next time this happens, they will know what to do. The 'outliers' will be quicky shit down. Trying to talk sense into people will be worthless; the media will spun a narrative deboonking whatever and you will be labeled as a crazy conspiracy theorist for speaking sense.
They will easily and more aggressively seize control. The people who got pissed with covid will be even more compliant, like they were during covid. People will be pissed, but they will put up with it. Intelligent or not, they will obey. They'll have no choice.
Yes. They will launch the next campaign from Asia again, where people have been the most paranoid, obedient and compliant, and do the least questioning and put up the least resistance.
Let the fear spread to Asian immigrant communities which are significant across Western big cities like Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York City, Toronto, London, Melbourne and Sydney. They automatically gain a good crowd of fearful and compliant people who will do the Current Thing. This helps create a kick off point at a local level as opposed to starting from zero.
Immediately censor wrong think and deploy fact checking. They already have done this to great success for COVID. For example, resistance in Asia was limited to small chat groups and obscure forums that could easily be contained or controlled.
Tie ability to access locations to digital ID. Make everything cashless and tie ability to make and receive payments to health status, carbon credit score and compliance level of an individual or business. Brainwash and incentivise people to police one another for the collective good of society.
Digitalise as many products as possible so they are internet-connected for surveillance and turn them into subscriptions. Create artificial rationing to create dependence on the system and to continuously check and ensure people are Up-To-Date on the Current Mandate.
