> I am sure no one takes joy in "destruction of civil liberties" Sadly, I am not so sure

  It's sad to see the growing trend of seeing freedom as a "selfish right-wing ideal" (Not just in relation to the pandemic, the opposition to free speech as well as outright anti-capitalism has been growing for a while)

    Anti-capitalism is usually held exactly from a position of more freedom. In a more free world, your livelihood would not be conditioned by obedience to a totalitarian institution such as a company. Opposition to pure free speech is indeed problematic, though.

    It's actually sad how this whole thing has progressed. Just look at this thread, anything that goes even in the slightest against the current is downvoted into oblivion. It's so disappointing, you can't say anything any more. And it's just people bringing up mild counterpoints or examples, but it doesn't matter any more, science is a religion, everything is with us or against us, all common sense and proper dialogue is thrown away for this extreme radicalisation.
