I'd say it's more than that. These lists aren't hurting us. I think caused by the kind of people who write or give heavy credence to these to kinds of insanely hyperbolic lists about the future employing the authority to do stuff like: -Push to tell you when you need to wear what -That you need to put something in your body -Say whether you can/should go outside -If you can have what job -Whether you can do business -Whether you can travel And if it's not you, it's someone you know and love and care about. Perhaps you have nobody you know or love or care about due to atomization and then the source of the distress would be obvious. It's further caused by the fact that this willingness to employ the authority at the state, employer, and organizational level is active all the world over, and isn't going away. You can agree with the authority's reasoning, you can value the importance of public health and sustainability. You can trust these authorities deeply. You can vocally champion the authority's legitimacy. It won't erase the pressure's effect on you emotionally and spiritually underneath all that. I say this as I struggle to cope with the fact that in my personal life an local authority figure who I love and respect and overwhelmingly agree with is becoming more authoritarian. Authority doesn't stop taking territory from us, in pursuit of its vision for growth and success. It doesn't relinquish control. That's a ratchet that won't go back and stay back without breaking it. Authority will go as far as dehumanizing you, and openly mismanaging your resources if it feels doing so is a safe way to prove a point of its own victorious supremacy over you. What I'm experiencing is that when you live under a growing authority who holds your community in grasp, here's what will happen: doubts, fear and despair will threaten to rule your heart. It's really hard to be strong to that. Some people can't seem to do it on their own, and need each other's help and the help of those who love them unconditionally. Because authority and its figures will too often act as if they love you, only conditionally. Legalistic authority is deeply scared of how border-transcending solidarity and love resurge from the darkest depths of death. Take care, to all of you. You're built to love and be loved, even if you absolutely hate this post.
