This has to be one of the saddest and most infuriating images I have ever seen. Cruelty. That's what this is. I mean what's the point of even allowing the kids back if they are forced to endure this?
Still think the System is merely corrupted?
Students playing outside at a nursery school in France. Note the chalk boxes meant to enforce social distancing drawn around each individual student. Students are not permitted to leave the boundaries of their respective boxes.

The kids are being taught to fear other people, other children, their best friends, cousins - all of the actual people in their environment.

The Disney Recess episode entitled “The Box” is EXTREMELY pertinent to that image, and immediately leapt into my mind on seeing it. The episode can easily be found on YouTube by searching ‘disney recess the box’.

Thanks for that,Serhei. That Disney video was bone-chilling to watch in light of the image above. Ahriman fast at work in the most pernicious of ways.

This is a defining image of our present madness. The current situation reminds me of J. G. Ballard's short story, "The Intensive Care Unit," which imagines a world in which each person lives in total physical isolation, interacting with everyone else through the 1977 equivalent of Zoom. A series of cameras and TV screens throughout the house allows the narrator to lead an apparently normal, satisfying, middle-class life, including marrying, raising a family and building a successful career as a surgeon, without ever meeting or touching another human being. (With a couple of notable exceptions.)

Asimov had a short novel called "The Naked Sun" where the inhabitants on a planet used remote viewing instead of in-person interaction. The man was a prolific genius, a polymath. Published in 1956. Plot summary is on Wikipedia.
