Now that worldwide attention has been deflected from COVID to war (very welcome to certain elite sections of society), the big question is what will this likely accomplish? In the space of a month it seems that COVID is a distant memory and alongside it the errors and oppressions of governments worldwide vanish into the mists of time. This, of course, is highly convenient that there was less than a few weeks in most places for any kind of post mortem to begin. While COVID galvanises the authoritarian left, war galvanises the authoritarian right and works with the opposite end of the political spectrum.
