Keeping our freedom alive in lockdown

The strangest thing, in this strangest of months, is how willingly people have surrendered private freedoms for public good, “We’re closing all the pubs and restaurants.” Great, we reply. “You can’t swim or play football either.” Oh, all right. And you have to stop going to church, seeing your friends and even visiting your mum. Sigh, OK. In a few weeks, we have been deprived of a host of fundamental liberties: to work, to move, to socialise. Many Americans are now living in solitary, for 23 hours a day; some in extremely difficult conditions. But to an extraordinary degree, people have accepted this, and they have been sticking to the rules. In my poor part of Jerusalem, I have seen “gold standard” queuing, walkers pacing parks in pairs, and deserted streets. But we’re only in week two of what could be months of confinement. People will only keep complying with “authoritarian rules if the authorities remain just”. And so far, there have been too many reports of puffed-up officials applying the rules heavy-handedly, unnecessarily and, in some cases, wrongly.

You can see in this forum all the slave-wannabe fcktards hateful of those who go to church in spite of the stay-at-home order.

I'd prefer to die free than stay at home. Any coward afraid of the Covid 19 flu should stay home.

Kung Flu gonna come for you.
 
You are nuts, Bobb. Liberty and Freedoms are not absolute. These times require some limitations on our ability to do certain things. You are not important more than the whole. You are but a part. If you need to be corralled to protect all of us, the authorities will do it. :)
 
It's always interesting to see how some conservatives apply the abstract concept of "freedom" as a bumper sticker.

Suddenly, they can't go to Walmart, their gun shop, the local buffet, and they interpret such as a ideological challenge to their "freedom," it's unconstitutional, Orwellian

If you stay home, how can I infect you? You shouldn't be bothered in the least by people whom you think are risking themselves, while you hide out. If I get it, after two weeks I'll never be able to infect anyone, and you can come out of hiding safely. If I don't get it, then what difference does it make where I was. And, while I am out, I'm keeping the economy going so you have something to come out to.

That's all aside from the fact that this virus isn't any worse than the flu or that I'd prefer to die than live in an authoritarian society that tells me I can't go out.
 
Bobb, that is typical right wing confirmation thinking. I don't care if you die from it because you went around like a fool. I don't want anyone to get it because you went around like a fool.

And a fool would think it is no worse than a fool.

I stop the tuffie talk, because you are a wuss.

A typical trait of a moron, that's you, is to out-of-hand dismiss logic they don't like. Fcktard, me being out actually helps hou, as I explained. You should be thanking me, you fcking moron!

That's good for you, but the orders to stay home are not for you, they're for people you might infect. They're for the entire community.

And really, do you actually think you lost your freedom? You don't legally have to stay home, you won't be arrested for leaving the house.

How am I going to infect someone staying home?

Tyranny often advances one step at a time, often under the cover of some sort of alleged emergency.

Like I said, the orders to stay home are for other people. If you leave your home, you might infect someone.

Also like I already said, the orders are actually suggestions. You will not be arrested for leaving the house. Nothing tyrannical about this.

The virus is nothing to me. I'm very healthy. The best thing for the world is for me to add to the herd immunity. So, when the cowards and the weak come out of their homes, I won't be a danger to them. They'll be a danger to each other. Or, I could take your bad advice, and come out later with everyone else, and without immunity, and be another person spreading the virus. How is this too complicated for you to understand?

Just because you're healthy, does not mean you're immune. You could have the virus and not know it, not have any symptoms, and spread it to other people.

Why are you people so fcking stupid? I CAN'T SPREAD IT TO OTHER PEOPLE OF THEY'RE HIDING AT HOME.

If you can't understand that, you really can't understand that I'm more of a danger to the public if I stay at home and prevent myself from gaining immunity while others are safe.

Oh, FFS.

So if you go out, you will undoubtedly come across other stupid people who are also out and about. You can give the virus to those people, who can then give the virus to people they are living with, and so on.

Healthy people who are going out are the real heroes. We're building herd immunity while healthy cowards are saving themselves to be carriers, to infect the weak, when the lockdown is down. Every healthy person staying at home is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Not to mention you gleefully moving America to greater authoritarianism.

Healthy people are going out, getting the virus, and spreading it around. So, yeah, heroes.

How is the government suggesting we stay home a move towards Authoritarianism? We don't even have martial law, it's literally just a suggestion.
