Landru, Guide Us!

In this strange new Corona-world, my neighbor seems to believe everything he is told without challenge. He weeps on command at pictures of coffins. He reports me to the police for failing to comply with his interpretation of Corona lockdown. He looks to the state for income and is perversely happy to be relieved of all work and responsibility. He sees lockdown as a state-funded vacation and hopes for more. He looks to humiliate others not complying as he thinks they should. He will not question. He will only comply. [More]
You're NOT of the body!!!

"He will not question. He will only comply."

David, I swear, that is the single greatest scare quote I've seen.

Of course you would cite the Star Trek metaphor.

This sort of thing is why England has a reputation for being the leather-and-whips capital of the world, politicians and royals included.

Before that, it was Weimar Germany. There are no coincidences.
