Restrictionism

A severe punishment situation when someone's parents restrict him from using anything fun-based or to socialise. These moments occur very rarely and the victims are often between 13 and 17.
These days, Rick was behaving very aggressively towards his parents. Little did he know he was going to enter a period of restrictionism.

Restricted

Not free to all, an area where you have no rights.
If an area is restricted, people have no rights there, it's not free. A restricted country is not a free country, it's a country where you have no rights.

Retrain

A concept recently introduced by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer denoting the absolute lack of shits the government gives for the cultural sector. Disavowed as non-essential, artists must now retrain as hedge-fund financial analysts or cybersecurity consultants.
Matthew: did you just hear about Rishi Sunak's proposal to retrain substantial portions of the workforce, namely the arts sector?

Elizabeth: oh dear, put down that horrid guerrilla Newspaper, The Guardian is for leftist granola-eating monkeys. I did not vote Tory for the last twenty years to suddenly bail out a bunch of degenerate flaneurs. Not with my hard-earned taxpayer money!

Restrictions

Rules/restrictions/laws are often a matter of what people can do with their popularity/support (power) and money.
As long as the restrictions were more popular with most people than using their own brains to determine what they should and shouldn't do, they would keep piling on, rather than end. Some things don't end without a fight.

Restrictions

If the unintended side effect of restrictions and lockdowns is premature death by heart problems and lack of the kind of activity people got before the pandemic, what good are the lockdowns? Telling people there is a new normal, and giving them guidelines on how to exercise in it will never keep them as healthy as they were before the restrictions and lockdowns. The bullshit is bad for everybody, though the people and entities behind the lockdowns and restrictions are never going to openly admit that it's bad for people.
The restrictions and lockdowns are going to endanger and kill some people anyway, so what's the point? In reality, life is worth losing, that's what a scientist, someone in the business of healthcare, the WHO, the government, the media, or anybody else making money off the pandemic isn't going to tell anybody.
