It was during a pandemic and in many (all?) countries, an active health crisis which resulted in literally millions of dead (what are we at now, 6 million?). All of us had our freedoms restricted at various levels - lockdowns, travel restrictions, work rules, masks, vaccines. Some of us understood the (potential) gravity of the situation and accepted that, knowing nobody was doing it for fun. Others threw fucking tantrums and refused to follow even elementary rules. It's easy to say in retrospect that some things were unreasonable, but in the middle of a pandemic it's probably better to overreact than underreact. Failing to comprehend that, and the incapability of the smallest of gestures from so many people made me a) despair for humanity in the face of the upcoming crisis such as climate changes and the Russian invasion of Ukraine; b) have very little respect or sympathy for those people. They made the choice to ignore the majority, i make the choice to not give a shit about them or their freedoms |

Edit: Morally why would someone be obligated to pay attention to the majority? Morality isn't up for mob rule.
