An excellent essay. The broader context of course is the now-prevailing efforts by most “western” nations to extend the citizenry’s dependence on government for virtually everything in their lives, including their physical safety and, increasingly their very lives.

As the scaredemic made crystal clear, this dependence requires surrender of one’s rights (both “natural” and those given by government) and thus extends the increasingly totalitarian control over the government’s subjects, since they are steadily losing their status as citizens.
