Long read.

Duh, that was the purpose of covid-19; so that the government could control us and violate our civil liberties and basic human rights all in the name of saving lives.

Which government ? You mean the one that controls the planet, or the alien government that controls the universe ?

Do I really need to give you the definition of a government; "the body of persons that constitutes the governing authority of a political unit or organization", each country gots one. And if you think any government from any country gives a dam about you, you obviously have been living under a rock, there are plenty of examples of government using this pandemic to violate peoples rights. And I know people like you need examples so here is one if you think this okay you are insane.

In that video they're being arrested for breaking quarantine regulations. Anyone watching the situation unfolding in Cambodia right now can see what can happen when people do that. I personally don't have any problem at all with people like that being arrested, it might just prevent a bad covid situation getting a lot worse and completely wrecking people's lives.

Got it, so it is completely okay for the government to make up any laws they want all in the name of covid.

^How is that violating people's rights. That was an arrest for breaking the regulations, understandably to protect the health and wellbeing of the public, who most are abiding by the rules and law.
This -
May come has more a shock if you end up on the wrong side of the law here.

Isn't that how any new law comes about? A situation arises, something needs to be done to control or prevent the problem so a law is made to do that.
There wasn't a law about trading in online child porn until the internet was invented and it became a problem. There weren't laws against drink driving until cars were invented and drunk drivers became a problem. A few generations ago there was probably no law saying you couldn't cook up a batch of meth in your house and sell it, then it became a problem and something needed to be done.
Whether you find the laws convenient or not they're there to protect society, including you.

I think you might need to check around your head; some of your replies suggest a possibility of concussion, so it may have already happened.
Other possibilities are substance abuse, or an inferior grade of tin foil. (Actually, aluminium, so maybe that ought to be factored in)

Out of curiosity, you say government. Are you suggesting that there’s a shadow government made up of all the governments of this planet, where they can manage and maintain this conspiracy? In concert.
Is that a plot from an Ian Fleming novel? Have you thought this through? If you have, I’m sure the explanation is worth a read.
