Not sure what you’re talking about
in the west, it's usually 'presumably hard' to enforce rules by shame from peers. But in fact, a lot of peer pressure was felt during that time, even friendships were teste if one of the friends didn't wear a mask, he was shamed. I didn't think it was possible in Europe, because people are too individualistic , but i was wrong .
Certainly opened my eyes to angry mob mentality and that democracy can be pretty dangerous to the individual.
So much worse lies in the world besides hurting someone's feelings.
I think authorities abuse that social pressure in some cases to just get what they want. Whether it's selling vaccines for profit or cencorship.

I'm pretty convinced the Texas shooting was a deepstate run psy op.
I doubt I'll ever have enough money to fight the deepstate in court, even if I was able to convince a jury (assuming fair play in court).
I will never be able to speak my mind about it ever again.
But since the public caved to that emotional concensus, it's now solidified in a precedent
Remember: Alex Jones was the first person to start talking about the abuse on Epstein-Maxwell island, years before the mainstream media. He was dismissed then as a conspiracy theorist, and this lawsuit was partly punishment for speaking out about that.
