This is the only scenario in which a "worse thing" can legitimately happen as a result of the govt doing the "right thing".
Plausible deniability for when 'The Event' occurs.
Or we're all paranoid. I think it's important to try to remember we might just be winding each other up.
Precisely for this reason it is idiotic to pressure people to taking this "for the greater good": you have no means whatsoever to know taking this is not actually worsening the situation (as it looks like might be).
