we should all move to the same town, n we can be BASED AF hot chick pedes and hot dude pedes walking around in harmony, free from totalitarianism forever
High population density has a degenerative effect on people. People need space and nature around them to remain rational and mentally healthy. I know it because I am deprived of it and I need it...
Idk, I think there's a way to achieve pop density without sacrificing access to nature. If we want to advocate for larger families we need to be able to build up in a way that makes sense. But not in the way that shithole liberal cities have done. Instead of enacting sweeping legislation around the environment and development we just need to promote people to willingly be good stewards of their communities and nature, which all boils down to strong family values that promote an intrinsic reason to do this instead of making people slaves to the government and requiring them to
It's so sad. Almost everyone I know has this opinion. People nowadays don't understand what it's like to truly lose their freedoms. They'll soon learn their lesson when life isn't back to normal in 12 months, and isn't going to be either.
I hope you're right about them learning their lesson, because my prediction is that people will be a bit miffed about it for a while, but then just kind of forget about it, only to fall face-first into the next trap.
Indeed they don't. And if they finally do learn that, a good chunk will still just bend over and let the government ream them again during the next crisis because they'd rather be "safe" than actually be free to protect themselves from it. Surely this temporary government program/policy won't become permanent! Like the Income Tax! Or the Patriot Act!
Same song, different decade. It'd be funny if us freedom lovers weren't getting dragged into the shit with them...
It won’t become common place if the small business owner or independent contractor or restauranteur have nothing left to lose and rebel. It sure isn’t going to happen in the Church house for the third Great Awakening, it’s going to happen on Main Street when people literally cannot put food on their table or clothes on their back. The more the plutocrats continue to screw Main Street the more people will realize they have neither safety or security and masks and social distancing won’t mean a damn thing if you don’t have food, water, clothing, and shelter.
Well if this was a bioweapon, something worse will get unleashed and then authoritarianism will be ´justifiably’ get cranked up to 11. Kinda like the WTC hit in 93 vs 01. COVID-1984 is the dress rehearsal. God knows what these unregulated labs are cooking.
I even see that sentiment here sometimes. Like I get these are dire times that call for drastic measures but the amount of liberties I see people advocating to sacrifice to meet an end frightens me almost as much as not doing so. Like if Trump crossed the Rubicon and, in the horrible scenario where he gets couped by someone within his own power structure, we could potentially end up with insurrection act, military tribunals and an actual dictator.
The sad truth is that most people even prefer an obviously false promise of safety over freedom. The dark truth is that most people fear freedom because they know that with it comes responsibility for the outcome of your own life. Most people will pay anything to avoid taking responsibility for their own lives.
The sad truth is, most people prefer to be safe, rather than free.
And then there's US.
laughs in Patriot Act

Well we can manspread out, actually let's just take the whole country back!!
I refuse to abandon the town I live. I'm 10th generation from Switzerland. I'll be damned if some Commies run me out. I will hold the line.

I hope I'm wrong.
I aim to remind every Biden voter that they voted for permeant mask mandates and lockdowns.
Don’t forget to remind them they’re low down dirty snitches and Commies.

You know, like the patriot act!
The lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing etc are going to become common place for the most mundane viruses. People just don't understand that.
Indeed they don't.

They won’t be safe though ...
Even we would prefer safety over freedom, don't sell yourself short there.
The difference is that we know we are safer when free. Selling your freedom for safety will cost you both. That's the real point of the quote.
