The plague revealed in a short time period all the repugnant consciousness of The Conquistador Syndrome as has many historical events.

Denying reality of virus promoted activities which spread virus.

Denying reality of masks blocking virus laden saliva spread virus.

Denying reality of masks being simply a tool and putting forth the idea that government/religious takeover was occurring spread virus.

Denying reality of virus spread virus out of a fear to express growth, adjust, during a global situation, a pandemic. Denying reality of virus out of fear to express care because they are a conquistador. Survival of the fittest, belittling the death of a certain percentage of people and touting the will of god is all Conquistador Syndrome born out of fear and monotheistic mockery of spirituality and intelligence.

The belief that The Democrats or some obscure socialists or whatever are trying to bring an apocalyptic end to America causes existential dread and leads to Conquistador Syndrome so eloquently displayed at The U.S. Capital. This is not to refute the idea that institutions will use the situation to their ends, some of which have diabolical motivations. That being said, my government already has identification number, my phone number, my address, knows exactly how much I have and my comings and goings in my country and outside of it. My movement is tracked by corporations generally and sometimes specifically. Other corporations advertise to me when they overhear my conversations or infer my interests from my online pursuits.

My government jails the most people in the world. My government has fought a drug war serving institutions and beating down generations, not only controlling them. My government went to war several times in order to maintain the flow of corporate interests of such companies as seemingly innocent as Pepsi and as obviously nefarious as GE and Exxon Oil.

Please stop looking for psychic hints or glimmers from god when the obtuse answer is right in front of your face.
