In the middle, and even toward the end, of the pandemic in Western countries, stories of fascist pandemic quarantine camps were a little too common for comfort. Australia was probably the worst from that not-so-distant past, but the newest round of Chinese camps might have them beat. In fact, I don’t think the qualifier “might” even applies.
You might remember videos of Australians sitting on their porches in quarantine camps, maybe even arguing with the guards/physicians/jackboots in charge, but even those conditions prove too free for the Chinese Communist Party. No. China’s unclean COVID sufferers don’t merit anything of the sort. They just get a little cube-shaped cell with a small hole.

It looks almost like images I’ve seen of cattle sticking their heads through iron fencing. But those are people, not cattle.
One person in the replies writes, “and still people in Europe and US are complaining about wearing a mask!!” I’m not wearing a mask, nor have I ever really worn a mask. In fact, businesses that forced me to wear a mask lost my business, and I went elsewhere. If you are an American still wearing a mask, you should grow a pair and take it off. The pandemic is over, people.
Furthermore, the reason the CCP can get away with locking people away in tiny quarantine cells as if they were animals is that no one there is willing to stand up to them. Not over masks. Not over lockdowns. And not over what they are doing now.
You see, despotic regimes, once given an inch, are going to take the full mile and then some. Americans were lucky this last time. Our collective complacency wasn’t rewarded with the same kind of authoritarian takeover we saw in Australia or Canada. But as the media starts getting back into the swing of spreading COVID fear. As the people in charge start calling for mandates once more—and they certainly will—I want you to remember what happens when people don’t stand up for their own liberty.
If you think this can’t happen in America, you’re the reason it will.
