One of the creepiest aspects of the Covid era was the way that most nations just fell into line over alleged Covid mitigation efforts. Seeing the same reaction from multinational corporations also freaked me out.

I read a Holocaust memoir in grade 5 or 6, and never stopped asking how/why 60+ million Germans went collectively mad/evil in the 1930s. Then I grew up and studied it all.
The phenomenon appeared again in lesser numbers in the cult craziness of the 70s. Further appearances as various renditions of Neo-Marxism.
And then COVID-mania came along and minds were captured en masse.
This is not a one-off. It has been encountered throughout our history on earth. Although mass communication has had the effect of spreading it at lightning speed across vast distances.
Nazism and Communism are political versions of totalitarianism. COVID-mania was a non-political version of the same phenomenon. Although when it progressed far enough, it did become political rather than a public health issue.
They were bought off. Starting with the WHO and trickling down from there. Once the narrative hit the rank-and-file (at say, the CDC), they were going to "follow the science" -- even if what they were saying was a lie.
Example that popped into my mind was the HHS wanting to give kids extra credit in science for getting jabbed. That wasn't handed down from the WHO, it was just a bureaucrat brainstorming the question "how can we get more kids jabbed"?

I wondered that about Nazi Germany, East Germany, China under Mao, and the USSR under Stalin (after reading Gulag Archipelago).
Then Covid happened.
