Resistance would require a large number of people coming together and coordinating, it's not rocket science to understand. But the reality is that the "customers" are much more accustomed to spending time with their smart phones than with other people, and the internet is easy to censor. In addition, the narrative "wear a mask, be afraid of each other" was designed to destroy in-person communications.
Kind of off topic, but maybe not completely off topic ...
I wish more people would think about “The Law of Unintended Consequences” or “Law of Opposite Effects.” Both maxims kicked in big time with Covid. But well-intentioned “safety” or “health” initiatives have been killing people for decades. This story gives an example from my own family. It’s about the EPA’s underground gas tank regulations and how they ultimately killed the country store …. And an unknown number of people … and numerous jobs … and might have indirectly killed my father, a gasoline distributor.
I think many companies use marketing and other manipulations to drive the consumer to do exactly what they want them to do. There are more propaganda manipulators than there are consumers any more, or so it seems.
Both wrong though , like murder and attempted murder. The customer or citizen in the black box pool can still be manipulated into responding in the way desired.

Dear Heavily Vaccinated,
I Have Never Felt So Smart
(And So Much Smarter)
Than
Everyone Else Around Me
Since …………… Yesterday.
But In All Seriousness,
I Have Never Felt
So Rewarded Either.

By the same token, the manipulation of someone’s free will through deliberate propaganda and psychological tactics is an abomination."
I believe the author may have meant to write "the attempt at manipulation."
Did I? Thanks.
Yes. Otherwise, there’s no black-box pool to swim in.

*Can* be, but no guarantee, as long as free will is still in play. Otherwise, it’s not manipulation but force.
