Most that are RIGHTLY protesting now are doing so in part because it's increasingly clear the intention was never to get us out of this current predicament, because it was never about the virus.
It was about setting conditioning and control mechanisms for the next phase of resource/human exploitation.
The average human has every f'ing right to "kick and scream" -- you are pointing your condescending finger in the wrong direction. On the other hand, you are -- unintentionally -- partially correct, for as long as the sleepwalkers among The People continue to subscribe to narratives without discernment, the 'masters' [to borrow from Chomsky below] will continue to press forward.
Only wide-scale solidarity among the people can stop it. We won't get there by castigating those that should be your ally.
Perhaps the reason it "worked" in Taiwan is... BECAUSE THIS VIRUS IS NOWHERE NEAR THE THREAT IT'S MADE OUT OUT TO BE, certainly not anymore* (Taiwan simply chose to move on without applying the same BS propaganda tactics as other nations. Taiwan is also not a major 'power'). AGAIN: The numbers/stats -- the death counts, the "case" counts -- are manipulated. PCR cycle thresholds can be throttled up or down to increase or decrease rates of positivity. Very few clinics are tracking Ct.
*though even in the first few weeks the death numbers were grossly inflated by the mishandling of the old and the infirm, as well as poor treatment methods (ventilators set to absurd pressure rates, etc). This will become more evident in the years ahead, despite attempts to obfuscate [SEE CUOMO].
This can continue, and likely will, FOR YEARS. And many will continue to subscribe.
This bullshit could have ended months ago by taking a few extra precautionary steps for a more-aggressive-than-average flu season. But it hasn't ended because -- once again -- there is no interest in 'ending' this anytime soon, not by those controlling the levers (there will always be viruses. There will always be health threats, but NONE of the excessive actions taken should EVER be justified. This should be EVIDENT).
UNPRECEDENTED WEALTH SHIFT in the past year. INCREASED MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE. Why would they STOP this, barring mass revolt?
Those that continue to subscribe to the f'ing narratives as presented, at this point, have no right to raise any complaints in the years to come.
I believe it was you, Elvis, that re-quoted Chomsky in the 'Occupy 2021' thread:
It may not be 'rocket surgery', but it's apparently more difficult than you lay out, because the first step is to realize the extent of the LIES, and collectively, refuse to subscribe to them any longer.
Not so easy, is it?
Not as long as many continue to be lulled into a media-induced trance, staring at screens with their mouths muzzled.

At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Taiwan government immediately banned export of PPE, guaranteed manufacturers they would buy all that could be produced, and distributed the PPE free to its citizens (who did not kick & scream like babies because they were asked to wear protective devices). They closed their borders and mandated a degree of individual isolation. They tested people repeatedly and traced infections diligently. They also relieved the economic impact by making up for lost incomes, averting collapse in property prices and the private equity buy-up the US is experiencing (and the bitter fallout from that is yet to be seen).Since the onset of the pandemic, Taiwan's 23.8 million citizens have lived relatively free of coronavirus, recording just 870 cases and seven deaths. Florida, a U.S. state with a population comparable to Taiwan's, has recorded 1.6 million cases of COVID-19 and nearly 25,000 deaths.

Within a few weeks, Taiwanese were once again attending baseball games in crowded stadiums.
The Taiwan governement was fucking diligent. The US did the opposite.
It's not rocket surgery.

I believe it was you, Elvis, that re-quoted Chomsky in the 'Occupy 2021' thread:
THEY don't care about you. As has been demonstrated for years. Except now their focus will be largely domestic.From the point of view of the masters, you’re only supposed to care about yourself, not about other people. This is quite different from the people they claim are their heroes, like Adam Smith, who based his whole approach to the economy on the principle that sympathy is a fundamental human trait—but that has to be driven out of people’s heads. You’ve got to be for yourself and follow the vile maxim—“don’t care about others”—which is okay for the rich and powerful, but devastating for everyone else.”
