Germany was a constitutional democracy before Hitler rose to power. Hitler's triumph took many Germans completely by surprise. What was even more surprising to many Germans was how many civil society leaders, cultural leaders, academics, doctors, businessmen, politicians, and journalists kept their mouths shut while Germany was engulfed in an ugly form of anti-semitic and anti-constitutional authoritarianism.
Now, Western societies are threatened with:
👉 the consolidation of an ugly culture of medical tyranny that is willing to go so far as to coerce citizens into accepting government-approved medical products and involuntarily confine citizens to their homes if they are sick
👉 child mutilation in broad daylight, rationalised by the concept of "gender-affirming" surgery
👉 putting our elderly to sleep, in the name of "compassion"
👉 an authoritarian form of technocracy that sees citizens as pawns in master plans to engineer a safer and cleaner society, "15 minute cities" etc.
👉 a fanatical and authoritarian form of environmentalism whose leaders advocate the expropriation of land from their fellow citizens, as the Dutch government has done
👉 a political, scientific and journalistic elite that frequently uses vague terms like "misinformation" and "hate speech" to rationalise draconian censorship regimes
Citizens who remain completely silent or go along with this anti-liberal, de-humanising madness should ask themselves the question: how long should I wait to speak out against the madness?
Should I wait until...
...the police comes knocking on my door because I published an "offensive" message on Facebook?
...I am separated from my family because I don't have my government's favourite vaccine in my blood?
...I've been debarred from practicing medicine because I dared criticise the medical regulator's decisions?
...I personally suffer a vaccine injury as a result of being compelled to choose between a vaccine and my job?
...the government tells my local school they have to teach my children that gender is "fluid"?
...I am considered a "burden" on society and am pressured to "end it" so as to alleviate scarce resources?
If I wait until they come for me, it may be too late to turn the tide.

It's not a trivial question. I have a family that I want to shield, I only want to go on with my life and my family, quietly and without problem, but I also feel that now I can't do that without speaking loudly against the madness
When I clicked on your post, I had no idea whether it was going to be from this perspective...or the other. I soon knew where you stood because you used specifics, but there are so many posts using terms like “authoritarianism “ and “censorship” to make the opposite argument. Without using specific examples, good persuasive writers can easily get readers to think, “Hell, yeah! Authoritarianism and censorship are bad!”, never realizing that the writer means exactly the opposite of what they think they’re agreeing with.
