Even though COVID numbers are rising in this country, the idea of another national lockdown seems like an impossibility at this point literally because everyone is completely fed up of the prospect, but this sadly isn’t the case over in China where they’ve imposed the strictest set of restrictions yet to curb the largest rise in cases since the beginning of the pandemic.

To make matters even worse, they’ve actually employed robot dogs and drones to roam around teach city and ensure that everyone is complying with the government restrictions. Scenes that literally look exactly like your traditional dystopian future from ‘1984’ or ‘Blade Runner’ have recently found their way onto social media as well and it looks very, very bleak. Get a load of this:

As seen on Weibo: Shanghai residents go to their balconies to sing & protest lack of supplies. A drone appears: “Please comply w covid restrictions. Control your soul’s desire for freedom. Do not open the window or sing.” https://t.co/0ZTc8fznaV pic.twitter.com/pAnEGOlBIh

Jesus that is grim isn’t it? I never really believed all the anti-lockdown weirdoes that protested against them and said the government was determined to crush our freedoms or whatever during the pandemic, but now seeing videos like this it seems like they might have been right all along?
Something to think about. Sort of seems like Skynet might be a reality sooner rather than later. Vaguely scary.
