John Waters discusses his book "The Abolition of Reality: A First Draft of the End of History," exploring the cultural and societal upheavals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He critiques the roles of media, economics, and authority in fostering a climate of fear and control, linking contemporary economic practices to the abolition of the gold standard in 1971. Waters argues that the pandemic served as an orchestrated project undermining human rights, facilitated by a compliant media that prioritized sensationalism over truth. He highlights groupthink's impact on societal panic and the expansion of state control, likening the political response to a predatory instinct to seize power. Waters warns against the normalization of extreme measures and advocates for future awareness and resistance to overreach, emphasizing the importance of documenting these events to prevent history from repeating itself.
