"Our national myth is a lie. Liberal democracy, capitalism, freedom - it's a lie. If it wasn't a lie before, it certainly is after the pandemic, when a government can say that you can't leave your house, you can't enter a restaurant unless you're vaccinated - it's a lie. So, the nation is weak morally, the nation is weak in terms of its patriotism. The leaders are unpopular. The institutions are not trusted, and then what's more, the economy is totally weak."
