Chilling.

Their test run with New Normal's health rules, whose violence and absurdity were barely concealed, has followed the same method to make us complicit through inertia or indoctrination, to strip us of any sense of human community under the pretence of protecting it.

Mass murder by the West in the current context has differences from WW II because of the specific populations targeted and their position versus the West (or rather Western governments and their corporate masters), but during WW II the West embraced mass murder of civilian populations by firebombing cities in both Germany and Japan to try to force them to surrender. Ironically, both Germany and Japan are enthusiastic supporters of US/Israeli mass murder in Gaza today, which resonates perfectly with their own murderous pasts. Germany's is perhaps better known, but Japan killed an estimated 20 million Chinese in the 20th century before being stopped by their 1945 WW II defeat. Imperialist countries aren't going to change their character and become peaceful but their alliances will always shift with their changing fortunes and the resistance of those they have in their gunsights.
