China has locked down millions for months. The result? Millions are in the streets protesting, possibly toppling the government.One more thing. I see @zubenelgenubi getting a lot of flack for being concerned about concentration camps.
The first step is for a government to ask its citizens to mask up and not to go go out. They encourage you to take a vaccine. Then, as we have seen, they closed schools and businesses that weren't "essential". Then, they tried to force employers to fire the unvaccinated. All here in the USA. In Canada, they froze the bank accounts of those who protested against these abuses and those who donated towards them.
Let's say they were sucessfully able to force employers to fire the unvaccinated. And people still were pushing back. What do they have left to do? Fine them, and finally, lock them up. It's just the logical progression of this tyranny and madness.
When someone kidnaps you, it's a serious matter, even if they let you go 5 mins later unharmed. Should we let them kidnap us, because they probably won't rape and kill us or take us hostage? I hope that last example makes sense, I can explain further if not.
Can they do the same in the U.S.? When the Chinese lock down people almost all are in apartment buildings. In the U.S. the majority of people are in individual houses. And there are a lot of guns out there, unlike China. Our lock downs during Covid weren't the same as what is happening in China. Not by a long shot.
There's simply no way our government can round up tens of millions of people and put them in concentration camps. And when I pointed that out before I put it forth that the logistics of feeding and housing that many people would expose what was going on(it was going to be done in secret supposedly) and was told they weren't going to be fed. In other words death camps.
The U.S. will have to devolve a great deal further before any such thing will happen. This is fear mongering, driven by hatred of the other side. I think there's a lot of craziness on the other side, and it should be resisted. But the idea they're monsters looking to kill us all is usually the product of extremists who have their own agenda. Beware of instigators. They want others to do what they themselves won't do.
