It really pisses me off because I’m generally quite pro individual liberty, but just as your freedom to swing your arm ends a few centimeters in front of my nose, you have a responsibility to take reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of infectious disease.
Wearing a mask for 2 years was a reasonable request. Getting vaccinated was a reasonable request. Social distancing and limiting association during a pandemic was a reasonable request
Liberty is the twin sister of responsibility. In a world where people are aware, cognizant and rational, nearly all regulations reduce to common sense. That’s a big part of why I feel like actual libertarians should be royally pissed off at that shit - because people seriously behaving on behalf of idiotic conspiracies erodes everyone’s freedom.
I remember hearing an ad for a big water park in my area during covid saying they are still open.
They knew there’d be push back so there was a line “no one is forcing you to go” in that dj voice.
Pissed me right off, it put people in my area in more danger because all of those people mingling there still need to go to public stores and shit.
