You know, I haven't even really noticed a ramp down in freedom due to any kind of government action in the last few years.
Now, if you compare modern times to the freedom we enjoyed 50 years ago, the difference is absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely no comparison. I mean it's crazy.
- all2 5y agoWill you expand on the comparison to half a century ago?
- jesterson 5y agoYou must be joking here or I missed the sarcasm tag somewhere. Numerous lockdowns, curfews, mask mandates, vaccination mandates, societal segregation based on medical records, enormous tracking - this is far from exhaustive list of measures governments imposed within last 2 years. We can certainly discuss whether those things were justified or needed in separate thread, but bottomline is the governments used covid as justification for ramping down freedoms at enormous scale, I'd go ahead and say at the scale never seen before. You just can't avoid seeing that unless you're lucky enough not to live in place where all those things are observed.
