It's about eroding your right to non-participation and bodily agency. Notice how, similar to vaccines, they twist non-compliance as somehow endangering others. So not doing what they demand amounts to violence against others, and therefor justifies violence against you. Commie bullshit 101
There is something inherently enchanting about the leaders of post-communist nations. It's like they all know exactly what to say, and what we want to hear, because their countries went through the exact same bullshit before.
If we can openly call Chinese out for their interference efforts in the US then I see no reason why any other groups ought to hold immunity from scrutiny for similar abuses. Quite frankly Americans can only be oriented against topics of globalism, communism, foreign influence, mass media, etc, for so long before other such obvious conclusions are drawn.
I can't help but feel they're just setting up breadcrumbs to China as a last-resort in case the rig fails. So that after the boiling point, MSM will roll with that angle and misdirect America's rage against China instead of the traitorous elements at home.
FWIW this video brings a fair point that Benford's only works when the data set spans several orders of magnitude.
Even the most extreme leftists will inevitably come to the revelation that in order to serve your own in a competitive system, you have to act in self interest, and often against the interests of outgroups. The resulting cognitive dissonance makes them go absolutely insane, on social media, and in the streets.
Would be better to simply have a map of businesses who are nazis about masks. At least then anti-maskers could still maintain plausible deniability when the mob drops by.
