Accurate Take on Emergency Enabling Authoritarianism

 This is probably the most lucid take on how the new normal state of emergency happens to increase the reach of the state, not through any singular conspiratorial menace, like a Justin Trudeau, but rather via a simple, generally understood morality that operationalizes itself via disparate actors into a (moral) Group Agent.  

I'd also add that the role of meta-narrative, then moralized meta-narrative is ultra important.  As per Wengrow & Graeber I'd also suggest that minor biological tendencies to differentiate your group from neighbouring groups finishes the process.  Basically this creates a post facto moralized meta-narrative that explains why your group is different, via a fairly singularly explainable moral Group Agent meme.  "We're the group that values freedom".  "We're the tribe that honours ancestors properly".  etc.
