Im still trying to digest what you said, but I did find this interesting while looking at that quote.Those that would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety.
Benjamin Franklin said that. It would seem the virus has precipitated the one more crises necessary to the new world order school of thought perhaps? Many technical developments gear towards a global society.
There's another school of thought comparing Trump to President Hoover and the political machinations surrounding the great depression. Parts are pretty hard to argue with. Should that be the case i wonder what a similar outcome will look like today? Cleared the way for Roosevelt until almost the end of ww2 or thereabouts (he died) and the dems until the 50s.
Its hard to know what to think with all a this fake news y'all have going on! But you almost can't help draw parallels between Hitler, particularly in terms of the power of Joseph Goebbals pen and, though I hate to say it, intellect, and the political tactics of late.

As for the virus, I don't know what you define as 'new world order', but what we are witnessing is the 2020 version of what happens when you continue to just toss shit out the window without everyone getting sick. On a global scale.
Breathing in each others air has never been safe. It is a shame that we have been losing about 60,000 people every year in the USA without figuring it out.
We need to start figuring out how to do things slightly different as a species. And like we have every other time throughout human history we will figure this out too. There is no reason not to.
