I spent a long time reading a lot of comments here and am gratified to see so much anger at the harm done to ALL of us by Governments’ responses to Covid. But, I have a question.

I think we all understand that the people who made these decisions are highly educated and experienced - that they are a long way from dumb. I think we all understand that most of the horrific consequences of their Covid policies were entirely predictable - even by poorly educated, inexperienced people. So, why does it seem that the underlying assumption is that these policies resulted from incompetence?

I no longer buy that. I see the Covid response, and defund-the-police, and printing obscene amounts of money, and open borders, etc., as part of a large-scale, intentional, destruction of our economy and our society. These people are not stupid or incompetent- they are evil. They will continue their intentional destruction of our once-free society and robust middle class, as well as our children, if we do not stop them. That will require a lot more courage than we showed over the last two years.

I repeat- these people are not stupid or incompetent- they are evil.
