So we’re supposed to just sit around and let infectious people roam around the community (putting everyone’s health and safety at risk) because they didn’t do as politely asked? We had Katie Hopkins here earlier in the year bragging about how she was going to deliberately break quarantine etc etc. If people aren’t going to follow a reasonable precaution, this far into a pandemic, then I have little sympathy when harsher measures are employed.

Take a step back and think critically about what you are saying and what kind of system you are building. You are building a system of enslavement. You will not be able to go anywhere or do anything except without the arbitrary permission from authorities who don’t care about you. This pandemic is nowhere near that dangerous to justify this. Where do you draw the line? When you can’t shop in the grocery store unless you accept public health treatments without question? When they’ve dehumanized people enough that you tolerate surveilling them in those quarantine “hotels” “until they choose to comply with public health safety laws?” The slope is slippery and you are sliding into hell. Time to stop being tribal or partisan about sticking it to the “anti vaxers” and start thinking about the system that is being built.

  Is the number after your throwaway name a counter of all the accounts you’ve had to create because they keep getting removed for saying silly stuff like this?

    I have never had an account here removed or reprimanded, and I’ve always lurked. I’ve made a single-digit number of accounts over the years, but hardly post(ed). I am posting far outside my comfort zone because the alarm bells are ringing. Everything about this situation is getting more and more terrible the longer it is allowed to continue. I would prefer to lurk and not talk. Like before.
