That's something I've noticed as well, and the worst part is how willing people are to turn on their neighbors. I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen comments along the lines of "screw your freedoms, millions of people will die if you don't give up your rights". People calling the police on hairstylist neighbors who are trying to do house calls because they can't pay their rent otherwise, etc. Not to mention the whole "prove that you're an essential employee, otherwise you'll get fined for leaving your house" that is the exact opposite of innocent until proven guilty.
- mmm_grayons 6y agoIt's the same sort of mentality that got Americans with Japanese heritage tossed into camps during WWII. Collectivism is really, really bad for individual liberty and nothing drives collectivism like a crisis. People get scared, and scared people do bad things.
