We Will Call Him The Hammer
The left exults that he was elected to enact compassion, for the poor, downtrodden, the black lives that matter (they do), the misunderstood transgender (who are), the miserable many so archly neglected by the capitalists in their stampede for the profits ("Uber Alles!!! - Greed is Good") that sustains the military that protects We the Good from the Evil of the Many Others.
"I want to believe" said the poster on Mulder's wall.
Biden will mandate the wearing of masks, a measure clinically assessed to do vastly more harm than good, to prevent unnecessary deaths from a virus called COVID-19.
I want to believe. It's the right thing to do. Surely all decent human beings will submit to this inconvenience to save lives.
Surely anyone else is an enemy.
"Trust us. We will save you."
Quothe the mainstream media: "We are the government, and we've come to help."
"You can trust us to tell you who your enemies are."
"Vox populi, vox dei." The voice of the people is the voice of God.
The media tells us what We the People are thinking.
We can trust them. We have a system of checks and balances. If anyone tries to corrupt it, they would soon be found out, because there is a mint to be made in selling the story to the Washington Post.
We have a perfect political system. The system is so good that the people who make it work don't need to be good. The free press, the Fourth Estate, can be trusted. They are the incorruptible watchdog that ensures Authority cannot misbehave for long.
Remember, it was the magic bullet of a lone nut that killed Kennedy. Authority said so.
Remember, it was airplanes flown by box-cutter wielding Arabs that brought down the World Trade Center Towers. Building 7? What's that. Never mind. We have the Patriot Act to protect us now.
2008 economy about to collapse due to bad bank loans? Borrow (steal) money from a dozen future generations, and bail out the banks. Those banks are too big to fail. It's the best for everyone.
March 11, 2011, triple meltdown in Fukushima Japan? NO, not China Syndrome. Really it's quite alright, it's just (a thousand tons of corium boiling the Pacific Ocean in hundred-thousand year poisons) tritium. Trust science: Dilution is the solution. Pay no attention to "conspiracy theorists". They are insane. Everybody knows that. Don't you?
So it's 2021. "Trust us. Wear masks, everywhere, all the time, during sex even. Trust the science.")
(But don't listen to those scientists and doctors who don't agree. They are conspiracy theorists."
Bill Gates, a software pirate of unparalleled achievement, can be trusted to tell us that the vaccine will save us from the invisible virus. OK, maybe not just one, maybe two, or more...jabs will do the trick. But of course that's better than dying from the virus. OK, maybe the vaccines kill some people, but it's not that many, and it's better than death by virus. OK, the lockdowns aren't enough, but who needs the constitution when the virus might kill you. Trust me. I'm a billionaire. I experimented in Nigeria. A lot of Nigerian children died so I could make sure this vaccine is safe enough to save YOU.
Biden: If you cover your mouth with any old fabric, you can stop yourself from killing your loved ones. Don't mind the end of free speech, that bastion of the will of The People. This is a pandemic. Panic.
Wear a mask.
Be good.
Shut up.
OBEY.
