the only positive note is at least in western nations we still have some forms of personal freedom and liberty. i can’t imagine how discouraging it would be to be living under the thumb of Xi and the CCP.

Our governments might have become too inefficient to run a decent dictatorship, orders get stuck in bureaucracy, office workers on holidays all the time, HR everywhere... 😂

I'm pretty sure that the bloating of the state is how empires die.
