I totally agree with this. I feel the more bullshit that gets piled on top the more I naturally just want to stubbornly resist. Even if it’s against my best interests.
Sometimes I wonder if a certain subset of the population is just naturally like this. The more authority applied the more people resist, even if they intended to do the action they authoritarian insists they do to begin with.
If you tell me to do something my automatic reaction is to say no. Childish I guess and find myself having to evaluate why I have this impulse from time to time.
One has to wonder if the media/social media shut the fuck up about the vaccines/mask arguments compliance rates would be actually higher…

If you find yourself in the position of stubbornly refusing to do what people insist you do, the good thought process is realizing they aren’t the boss of you whether you’re making your choices to go along or against what they want. If you do exactly the opposite of everything someone wants you to do, they’re still controlling you.
