Let's hope not, that would indeed be the definition of "Very Bad"..
A friend of mine once told me it's always bad when it involves monkeys...

I can't disagree.

That's not the only way they hang onto their power, I'd argue their biggest resource has always been fear ~ from The Purge i.e. cultural revolution till date.

You can't hang onto power with fear exclusively. Any good dictator knows that. It's by the nature that the working class will always outnumber your elite.

I know that sounds incredibly communist in wording, but it's 100% true. The concept was actually introduced in Owell's anticommunist book 1984 by Emmanual Goldstein, in "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism"

That book is a wannabe dictators hand guide. You don't hang on by fear. You hang on by a combination of fear and either good working conditions, or ample hate that you redirect at something else. Guess what they are likely doing if they made this virus?

Guys, if you all die from this virus can I have your PCs?

If you can get past the tadpoles, you've earned it.

This isn't hype. It's actually quite serious.

It is. But it also isn't the end of the world.

Thats debatable still, for some.

I mean, it might be later. Right now it's not. Look outside.

Oh wait, you probably mean the sick... yeah that took me a second.
