The concept of freedom of movement was already thrown out during covid, as we learnt with the patriot act if you capitulate "Ok, just this one time because it's a special circumstance" then you lose that freedom forever.
- beej71 3y agoFreedom of movement was restricted multiple times in the last 200 years; COVID was hardly the first. I'm not arguing that this case is ok, though.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoWhere was freedom of movement restricted in the United States? I heard of restrictions in other countries, but not here. I spent all of peak COVID in North Dakota and Minnesota, so I understand things were likely different in other places, but I don't remember hearing about any sort of travel bans within the country.
- JumpCrisscross 3y agoThere were technically curfews in big cities. But they were never enforced, to my knowledge.

- whywhywhywhy 3y agoOh ok that time they restricted movement didn't count, yeah ok. The gaslighting about something that was barely 3 years ago that we all saw happen is getting wild.
