Scary stuff. I think all of the authoritarian actions over the last two years can be traced to a single event: the fall of the Soviet Union. Without an enemy to compare itself against, the Western world has forgotten the value of freedom.

If East Germany had implemented this forty years ago to fight X disease, it would have been painted as evil, something we don’t do in the free West.

Edit: flagged in 8 minutes. I guess this website isn’t the place for intelligent debate and discussion anymore. That’s disappointing.
