Sorry. You're right. We have evolved since then as a species and nothing learnt from human behavior studies applies to us anymore.
We are the chosen ones.
We are special.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I think you mean Naive.

As hes a pom He should be stripped of all his assets and be slow roasted over a low heat and then fed to the dogs.
he wants a resource based economy lets put him to use.
hes just a drain on our resoursece he pays no tax yet expects the world to support him in smoking weed and giving goats handjobs all day
Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
Nope, I meant what I said, because I see 99% of the people being peaceful for 99% of their day and therefore having the capacity for great change by nurturing that instead of using law to oppress and money to grade. You don't. Hmmmmmmmm... yeah, you're right, you have a nice healthy positive view of the entire human race and how bad and wicked they all are

More you both compare apples with oranges. There are worlds of difference between today and nearly 100 years ago... especially in terms of the abundance of resources. And who in their right mind would keep someone in power for 30ish years to walk a "communist" path to hopefully make things better? other than a couple of hundred million Russians that is. Yeah, people are such cunts that way, all doing what they're told n shit to try to make things better.

To answer the OP's question:
I've got some concerns with the overstepping of certain civil liberties by the NZ Police and how comfortable they are with doing it. If the emergency powers they have been granted aren't wholesale revoked, then I will be very concerned.
The predictions I've seen is that the next 6 months are going to be critical - If a Business is going to fail, it's going to be in that time period. If enough of them go belly-up, we'll get a domino effect, which could see a full recession.
Then we need to talk about the massive debt that the Government aid program is going to come with, Political point scoring about Socialists running out of other peoples money to spend aside, that's a big chunk of Change the Government is going to have to pay back and it's going to have long-term effects.
That said, on the positive side, a large number of workers for whom the technology and work environment existed for them to work remotely, but due to 'old fashioned' thinking about how to do business, were denied this opportunity - well, they've now had a crash course in proving it is doable. This should have some interesting effects in terms of Office Space, Commuting, etc. I'm thinking in terms of say the post-war Women's Rights victories that were partly due to Women filling the positions of labour, whilst the men were off fighting.
I think we are going to see a lot more investment in the tech side for remote collaboration tools for industries that either were slow adopters or thought that there was no way they could work remotely.
On the international side, There are likely to be some interesting conversations regarding China. From the speculation on the extreme side that suggests the Virus may not be entirely of natural origin, to the role the WHO has played and to the very clear fact that due to China's internal machinations, this was released upon the world.
There's a viewpoint (which is a stretch and I don't entirely agree with) that goes along the lines of the explicit, known actions of China to block or otherwise downplay the outbreak, which lead to it going global could be considered a Biological attack and therefore an act of War/Terrorism by the Chinese state.
Again, I think it's a bit far (given the current level of info) but it raises some ideas.
Physics; Thou art a cruel, heartless Bitch-of-a-Mistress
Oh Fuck! You stupid Fucking Cunt!
Learn some history. Keep someone in power? Like they had no fucking choice. He was one of histories greatest mass murderers. No one was safe. Not even his inner circle which was regularly purged.
But it's a history that repeats itself again and again. A hundred years?!? Fucking nothing. We are still humans, and it's stupid cunts like you that think otherwise and allow this shit to happen because they think they are smart.
Certain governance has moderated this sort of behavior, but it's not a sure thing nor is it long standing. Read a fucking book.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Emergency powers are just that. In times of emergency. As for "Civil Liberties" being "Overstepped" refer to the Emergency powers act ... in times of National lockdown ... civil liberties are few. A bit like Freedom of speech does not, and cannot overrule the laws of the land. When Emergency powers are enacted ... those powers and rules MUST take precedence.
There were parts of the world that had armed police and military patrolling and were not shy to use them.
When times get tough ... pull your head in. As Far as I could see ... NZ Police were VERY restrained.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
