Building off of the above: Given how whatever forces are driving things over the past few years seem to enjoy making parallels to the late USSR, I wonder if we'll see the entire thing collapse in much the same way the USSR did. In which case, I wonder if we'll see the equivalent of our 1989 this year; in which case I wonder how it'll play out.
One possibility I see though is that either the Ontario election and/or the French Parliamentary election, both in June gives a major upset; and then the entire Covid narrative will come crashing down, destroying the legitimacy of the Western political/social/economic system altogether as it does so.
I don't know French politics well enough, but if the New Blue Party here in Ontario ends up looking like it has any kind of chance at victory, I'm going to be very, very concerned about what happens next...
