What time does the following scenario hearken back to?
The population is under the sway of powerful governments or a central government that seek to erode their civil liberties and take away their power. They seek to take over their minds.
In order to be successful these "powers" have to claim an "other", someone that the population can hate and turn their vengeance towards.
"How dare they defy the status quo? How dare they put us in danger, we must control and then eradicate these people! We must sterilize them! We don't care if they are neighbors, we don't care if they are friends!"
One might be forgiven if one believes that this scenario is really a look at what is happening in the world of vaccine passports and the attempt towards mandatory vaccines overall. And to the vilification of those who choose not to take this vaccine.
But, in fact, the scenario that I describe is one that took place in Nazi Germany. Where democratic, freedom-loving people who were highly literate and sophisticated gave away their power to a madman, to madmen. Who caved in, completely, to their fears.
The only thing missing in our world now, at least for the moment, are the yellow stars.
