"If everyone who is so concerned about Đoković these days - including the media, Australia, Balkans & Đoković himself - was so much concerned by the torture of #Assange & refugees across the world, perhaps we would have something called freedom today." by Srećko Horvat (https://twitter.com/HorvatSrecko/status/1480597836542660613 https://twitter.com/HorvatSrecko/status/1480597836542660613)

- brokenmachine 5y agoYou're conflating separate things. I believe in personal freedom, but the limits of that are when it impacts on others personal freedom. If someone dies of covid in hospital, they occupy a bed for about a month before dying. A hospital has limited capacity. In my country, Australia, we have public health so everyone pays for that hospital capacity. Vaccination reduces a persons risk of severe disease by 90%. I got vaccinated to prevent myself and my family getting sick, and a nice side effect of that is that it also helps hospitals from running out of capacity, because I'm very unlikely to go to hospital should I be infected with covid. It's insanely selfish and stupid to not get vaccinated. I also think Assange should have been freed long ago, and I want journalistic freedom because the truth is the most important thing we have.
- isaacremuant 5y agoNo. I'm not. Your thoughts to vulnerate bodily autonomy for an alleged greater good are egregious. Authoritarian and ignoring the Nuremberg Code. Your hospital bed propaganda is just that. Part of the push to blame sectors of the population who don't comply with the lockdowns, masks, vaccine mandates, you name it. An honest strategy was never assessed. Your country, Australia, just banned Novak for his thoughts. Not for any rule breaking. Not for any health reason. Australia and much of its population are being absolutely discriminatory and ready to commit crimes against the humanity of others under the pretense of "the greater good". You overplay the dangers of covid, lie about transmission and beds, prevent early treatment, deny human rights, prevent discussion of science, ignore or censor side effects. And then you call people stupid and selfish for not making the same decision you did? You're a horrible person. A truly disgusting one, like so many. I'm not surprised considering the country you live in, but it's your fault if you fall for hateful propaganda. You're not for truth. You're for harming people who don't follow your politics.
