It sounds like a simplistic, self-centered view of liberty. It's impossible to live in a population-dense society and not have your actions affect other people.

It sounds like a simplistic, self-centered view of liberty. It's impossible to live in a population-dense society and not have your actions affect other people. If you think that seat belt laws, mask mandates during a pandemic, or school vaccine requirements are "draconian authoritarianism" you don't have a reasonable perspective on society or history. Traffic injuries and deaths affect the whole system: EMTs/police who experience needless trauma, families (loss of income, parents, spouses, etc.), friends, health insurance, an increase in disabled people who draw from the system instead of paying into it, and much more. Seat-belt laws reduce the burden of car accidents on all of us.
