"There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable non-conformist." - Ayn Rand
Social Justice Warriors (SJWs), 'progressives', and 'woke' socialists are the pseudo-rebellious authoritarians of our time, and the coronavirus pandemic has exposed them for what they are - useful idiots of the establishment. Their motives aren't based in 'equality' or compassion for their fellowman but rather a deep hatred and envy of those who rebel against the system and a deep-seated desire for power and control.
Once 'woke' and 'enlightened' these useful idiots are now proud fascists and communists, calling for the government to shut down free trade and encouraging their neighbours to rat out dissidents to the authorities. 'Woke', my ass. 'Progressive', my ass.
Britain has regressed into a fasco-communist state in the space of just two to three weeks. Fascist in the sense that free speech has been restricted, and communist in the sense that the government has taken over large portions of the private sector and forced the economy to a screeching halt.
The truly woke individual is, and always has been, an enemy of the state; a non-conformist in every sense of the word. Let COVID-19 be an opportunity for the truly woke men and women of the world to unite and form a worldwide declaration of independence from all forms of governmental tyranny.
End the lockdown.
