Wariness of bureaucracies is not new.
There are a lot of great bureaucracy quotes:
Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
FRANZ KAFKA, attributed, The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations

Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
HONORE DE BALZAC, attributed, The Harper Book of Quotations

Some third person decides your fate: this is the whole essence of bureaucracy.
KOLLONTAI ALEXANDRA, La Oposición Obrera

Bureaucracies force us to practice nonsense. And if you rehearse nonsense, you may one day find yourself the victim of it.
LAURENCE GONZALES, Everyday Survival

Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.
LAURENCE J. PETER, Peter Prescription

Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers' enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others.

Don't overlook, Mancur Olsen or Eric Hoffa.
Edward T. Hall on Bureaucracy: Bureaucracies are the greatest obstacle to Progress. …. Edward Hall was the pioneer who wrote “Beyond Culture” (the 70s, I think).
“By their very nature bureaucracies have no conscience, no memory and no mind. They are self-serving, amoral and live forever. What could be more irrational? Changing them is almost impossible, because they function according to their own rules and bow to no man, not even the President of the United States. Custom, human frailties, and the will to power keep our bureaucracies going. … Paradoxically, most bureaucracies are staffed largely with conscientious, committed people who are trying to do the right thing, but they are powerless (or feel powerless) to change things. None of which would be so serious if it weren’t that these are the very institutions on which we depend to solve all our major problems. Some answer must be found to bureaucracy.”
“Bureaucratic and institutional irrationality occur because, of all man’s institutions, bureaucracy in all cultures has a tremendous potential to be counterproductive. This drive toward inefficiency may be a direct consequence of blind adherence to procedure, but it also stems from bureaucratic needs for self-preservation and a vulnerability to pressure groups. The combination is unbeatable.”
“Bureaucracy on the life-destroying scale described by Edward T. Hall is an industrial era phenomenon. Only a bureaucracy can turn ordinary, decent people into participants in gigantic atrocities that go on and on, and absolve the people who operate the government machine from personal responsibility for the consequences."

...Think about being subject to globalist bureaucrats, those who live on the other side of the world and have no skin in the game. That's what your betters have in mind for you.... That should keep you up at night.
