Rings true with what I have been trying to explain to a lot of those in the industrial nations who can see through the covid crap but can't (or won't due to pseudo religious belief in progress) see the next macro historical level beyond as to why governments are behaving this way.
It's pretty common historically for the governments of states and broader civilisations to become more and more overbearing and destructive as they circle the drain pipe of resource depletion, to the point where many simply leave in mass migrations. It will get worse before it gets better, but in the long run the energy constraints themselves will make it more and more difficult to enforce anything, and the whole thing will splinter into whatever shape adapts to the changed energy conditions.
