As another aspect we're seeing governments and the system elites craving for more power and control than ever.

I know it's borderline conspiracy theorist but I fear that the COVID-19 lockdowns with the surveillance systems and control gained during them gave the elites worldwide a taste for new levels of power and control.

All in the name of doing it for our own good of course. But ultimately its for more power. What terrors man won't inflict on others for "their own good".
