You are reminding me of the whole Covid fiasco we all lived through.
Suddenly bureaucrats how knew nothing about medicine, science, market prices, macro economics were making decisions about which businesses were essential.
I swear, as I watched this go down the arrogance of these people was so obvious. The idea that we should listen to these people's decrees about what is essential drove me nuts. I can't imagine making such declarations that are enforced by violence. But of course politicians are sociopaths.
These people could have offered advice and made it voluntary but they are to arrogant and the public is to dumb in their eyes. It really felt like they were all communists to me. Just different stripes of the suit.
Looking back it is clear how wrong they were on so many arbitrary things. I don't blame them for being wrong. Central planning doesn't work. I blame them for being arrogant and using force to destroy the economies of the world.

It was very communist. I really allowed anger to get the better of me during that time. Much prayer was required to get that out of my heart.

Anger is a valid emotional response to injustice or moral outrage.
Rage is an overreaction.
Acting from anger and rage is ill advised usually

Yes.
Anger is dangerous. It is not wrong but it should be treated with care. Like a weapon we need a healthy view of its power and potential for destruction. Anger can be right (righteous) but even then it can also lead to bitterness and destructive actions.
