The Free World Died of Covid-19
The Free World is a term that was originally used to describe the Allied powers during WWII, but it is most applicable here when discussing what united the anti-Soviet bloc to the United States during the Cold War. It was these "Western world" values of free speech, free media, the freedom of assembly, and freedom of association that united our sovereign states against the evils of Communism.
Covid Mania has turned the world's sovereign states into one tyranny after another. And the authoritarian forces of the world won this second "Cold War" against its citizens without firing a shot. Some appear to be under the impression that the ruling class, which just finished the fastest rollup of power in human history, will simply return these stolen liberties when the "national emergency" comes to an end. I'm not particularly convinced that this is the case.
