> this is what the powers that be want to happen. they want you to live in a state of panic and fear.

Do you think this is a conscious desire?

Is it something that our leaders developed after attaining power, or is it a preexisting desire that led them to seek power in the first place?

Why do they want people to live in a state of panic and fear?

When people fear, they accept authority. Fearmongering is as old as first societies. An ancient priest sold a lie that unless people did sacrificies in his name, they'd be eaten by the demon. So the priest spreaded rumors about dangers of the demon and took down anyone who spreaded a counter-narrative. Today, "covid" is that omnipresent demon, and once people stop believing the lie, those "priests" will rebrand the demon into something else.

I would argue that panic and fear gives them the legitimacy to maintain physical control over some things that would have normally resulted in them being voted out of office or impeached.

Let us not forget that the roaring 20s and laissez faire capitalism, all of which were voted for, came after an era of pandemic flu, a world war, and increased government control of things under Wilson.

I mean, the top careers for psychopaths are: CEO, Politician, and Journalist. Remember the last time someone of them said "I'm not in this position because I want to have power, it's my duty to X that drives me"?
