“The power of the executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charges known to the law, and particularly to deny him judgment by his peers for an indefinite period, is in the highest degree odious, and is the foundation of all totalitarian governments...Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilisation.”

All democracies are ultimately totalitarian governments in the highest degree odious. The abhorrent occupying statist theocracy now infesting this land regularly imprisons individuals because of unpopularity, without formulating any charges, misapplying unrelated charges, political / ecclesiastical incorrectness, etc., etc., etc. Culpable actors of/by/within a Quo Warranto nature (without sovereign authority) now customarily imprison the innocent, relying on a facade of de facto "executive", "legislative" and "judicial" malefactor position.

AND HERE WE ARE...

The US, Canada, UK, Australia, NZ, France, Germany, etc. have criminalized dissent against their totalitarian acts.  Using the pandemic to create a permanent state of emergency empowering their governments to ignore their own laws and rights of the people.  Wake up!!  This IS a test of civilization — and civilization is losing!
