German MEP Christine Anderson maintains that the Covid era was "a test" to measure how much tyranny governments could inflict before citizens began resisting. "The majority of people, they allowed themselves to be manipulated or gaslighted... to comply with all of these absurd restrictions." "They didn't make any sense whatsoever." "Why would they impose ridiculous restrictions which didn't do a damn thing?" "It was a test... What do they have to do to get people to just do as they're told, and how far could they go before people actually started rebelling against that?" "That's what they were trying to figure out." "You saw it in every single Western democracy... They were all reading from the same script."
