At Yale University, "an anonymous reporting system" has turned the school into a "COVID 'Surveillance State.'" A student who apparently didn't share the neuroticism of others, refused to live in the "Masked paranoid world," as Bill Maher has called it, sat alone in a school library at least 150 feet from others one evening last fall.
At some point, the Free Beacon reports, "Another student walked into the library and demanded he mask up." Because he didn't have one, the student volunteered to leave.
A couple of weeks ago in Los Angeles, a school called police on unvaccinated teens, even though they had tested negative for COVID-19, Reason reports.
A little more than a year ago, about nine months into the pandemic, we expressed concern about what had become of our country.
The pandemic turned out to be the ideal opportunity for the authoritarians and smug self-appointed superiors among us to continue to split us apart, accrue more power unto themselves, marginalize dissenters, force compliance with a narrative of the deranged, crack down on speech, and use fear as a means of control.
No longer does the U.S. reflect the founders' vision of a nation of free people.
America grows more shallow by the day, more catty, less joyful.
