This is a frightenly accurate set of analogies which reflect what has happened during the last couple of years.

Within the UK the behaviour of the government has accurately been called out by the journalist and author Laura Dodsworth. In her book 'A State of Fear: How the UK government weaponised fear during the Covid-19 pandemic'.

Her exposure of politically motivated abuse of psychological methods against the population is truly accurate.

She exposes the ways in which the government has been using the media as a Nudge/propaganda tool to steer the public.

This is in reality State abuse of what should be referred to as psychological warfare.

I think that's why Mathew Crawford calls it a world war by the governing elites against their own citizenry

Thanks for the reminder about Laura’s book. It’s been on my Audible wishlist, so I went ahead and got it.

Laura is on Substack, BTW: https://lauradodsworth.substack.com/
