Decades of social engineering. The young were indoctrinated in schools, and those older were subjected to a slow erosion of their rights and liberties to the point that this seems almost normal and acceptable.
If any of you 'pedes have Nextdoor and want to laugh (or rage), then go take a peek at the hysterical morons posting there. I daily have pearl-clutching childless (either single or empty nesters) women publically shaming other people for existing, and there are so many people openly asking for marshal law and a greater police presence. They really do want to be just locked into their homes and have everyone who dares leave the threshold of their home to be arrested.
Even if the virus were as bad as they are pretending it is, do they really think this is helpful? Sure, Denise, if you stay in the house and get all your groceries delivered to your door by people poorer than you who have to leave their house while you continue to consume the fear-mongering, you're sure to just live forever and everything will be great! You'll exist in a beautiful utopia where you can sip tea while looking outside and calling the cops every time you see a child walking on the sidewalk.
This has been an extremely eye-opening experience for me in just how compliant and fearful most people are, and how easy it is to introduce tyranny and have people accept it with open arms.
