There is a fundamental difference between Americans and Leftists (and this is true for whatever nation they infest), Leftists see governmental power as something to wield against any opposition. To crush, and to oppress.
Before his epiphany, actor Ron Silver was heard to remark at the first Clinton inauguration--- looking up at the Air Force doing a flyover -- "they are our jets now."
You must never let Leftists gain any position of power... be it hallway monitor, dog catcher and god forbid, in charge of your national defense and protection of individual rights.
All this time, I am wondering if there are those high level Loyalist elements who will reassert Constitutional government and not permit the Great Reset-ers to continue with their plans (which may involve causing, or taking advantage of) major blackouts.
I would have preferred to have lived in the country, growing my own food, with a natural water supply, but it hasn't worked out that way.
Really? Check out some of those books, If you are looking at the Metaverse, it was SciFi, as a warning as to how bad it could be.
Well, I suppose more of us should have read Cyberpunk, because the Metaverse you are describing sounds very much like what Gibson and Williams wrote about.
In the 1980's a new genre of science fiction came out called CYBERPUNK, (Neuromancer, Count Zero, Voice of the Whirlwind), and later, they started making movies based on that genre, (Johnny Mnemonic, Matrix). So if you'd read of the powers-that-be in those books and film, the Metaverse seems like they are actually trying to turn those dystopian stories into real life.
Unless you are really good looking and can call the shots consistently (I had a roommate who had to deal with an endless stream of aggressive women), it's the women picking the men.
I seem to find people in the coffee shop section (or used to) at the local book stores. (or is it that women find me, at large book stores?)
Women might be prowling for men, while they are distracted at the local home repair depots. Men are easily approached by saying 'can you help me find, such and such?'
Heck, one young lady picked me up from the other side of a gas pump. It's never when I've been looking.
In what seems to be a rare occurrence, I have to disagree with you epirb.
What has been happening since that time is a suppression of reporting of adverse events and deaths.
From pathologists in Germany in the USA reporting that authorities are studiously avoiding doing autopsies on the dearly departed, to OSHA changing its reporting rules to -- don't -- report on any adverse events, to making it difficult to file a VAERS complaint, to over 150,000 reports being deleted or changed as observers watched.
People are getting sick and dying, but the authorities want to keep those facts tamped down.
Now, something you alluded to; oppression coming to NZ / Australia, camouflaged in a White Lab Coat.

Risk of COVID-19 vaccines worsening clinical disease
Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID-19 vaccines worsening clinical disease
Results of the study: COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.
... the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern: that vaccines designed empirically using the traditional approach (consisting of the unmodified or minimally modified coronavirus viral spike to elicit neutralising antibodies), be they composed of protein, viral vector, DNA or RNA and irrespective of delivery method, may worsen COVID-19 disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).
This risk is sufficiently obscured in clinical trial protocols and consent forms for ongoing COVID-19 vaccine trials that adequate patient comprehension of this risk is unlikely to occur, obviating truly informed consent by subjects in these trials.
Why are public authorities using both government and the private sectors to coerce vaccination when the public authorities are fully aware that vaccination does not protect, but causes health injuries and deaths and spreads the virus? -- Paul Craig Roberts
Can't say too much for movies, aside from very old, and old foreign movies on Y/T, but background Ambient, jazz and extended soundtracks are great background music.
Of course, y/t has to go and spoil it all by interrupting the stream, by asking "Are you still listening?"
Anyone who trusts the FBI is unfamiliar with the repulsive facts behind Waco, Ruby Ridge and Oklahoma City, and no doubt, countless other atrocities and miscarriages of justice.
American KGB, even though seemingly an oxymoron, is very apt.

Well Moth, not so sure about followers. More like virtual friends, compatriots, and Thinkers.While I have stressful work, it is true, at home and with friends there is love and laughter.
It could be much worse.
