It’s become a regular habit in liberty conservative circles to draw comparisons between the War on Terror and domestic policy.
The same practices used abroad are used to police behavior at home. The never-ending wars the US government has prosecuted in far-off lands have been a boon for defense contractors and foreign policy bureaucrats.

By hyping up the alleged dangers of the Wuhan virus, politicians have helped their pharmaceutical donors in a big way. As people panic about the virus, they instantly turn to Big Pharma for all sorts of medical concoctions.
Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie gets the bigger picture when it comes to the bio-security state. Massie tweeted on April 15, 2022, “COVID is to the Multinational Pharmaceutical Industry as Afghanistan was to the Military Industrial Complex.

Domestic and international politics are intertwined in managerial America. The logic of domestic social engineering is also applied abroad and vice versa.

The US is clearly in an imperial phase and it will need to scale back all forms of intervention, lest it want to go through the inevitable process of imperial decay that countless great civilizations have gone through across history.
