The "nanny state" actors do love their Hegelian dialectic.
It's simple and effective: problem, reaction, solution.

They want to usher in 1984 style panopticon measures but they can't just roll that stuff out without pushback. They must first manufacture consent. This is why the institutional schools typically do not teach discernment in the forms of logic, logical fallacies, argumentation, debate, etc. That would armor the populace with the discernment necessary to see through the logically fallacious tactics used by the nanny state to manufacture consent.

They use fear to elicit reactions from the people who then respond in a predictable way. The people clamor for a solution which the nanny state is more than happy to give them. The solution is a Trojan horse: a threat to the people's well being masquerading as a benefit. Covid was a great, recent case study for this kind of social engineering technique.
