> Even places that have taken this deadly seriously have seen reoccurent outbreaks including Hong Kong[^1] and Tokyo[^2] Japan has had ~1,000 covid deaths. And Hong Kong has had something like 25 deaths. The US is about to hit 170,000. > Part of freedom means the freedom to disagree. Sure, you can disagree with them as well and they may be entirely wrong - and that's still OK. That isn't a failure of freedom, it's a success story and I'd much rather have some idiots shouting loudly than black bag them by secret police or have "Winnie the Pooh" start getting censored in private messages. There's a middle between these poles you've created. This is the ol' libertarian dilemma: when one person's freedom encroaches on another. People's "freedom" to not wear a mask encroaches on my freedom to not get sick. Freedom requires some modicum of social responsibility. Without it, freedom can't exist. |
