This blog post argues that state coronavirus measures resemble psychological coercion and torture tactics. It lists mechanisms such as isolation, fear, humiliation, exhaustion, threats, conditional rewards, displays of power, and arbitrary rules, drawing on Amnesty material and Biderman's chart. The author frames pandemic restrictions as a global campaign of control and contrasts compliance with personal vitality and independent thinking.
