Oh for sure. Particularly the drug war, and the mass surveillance etc that 9/11 was used to justify. Unfortunately neither of the two parties in the US are actually champions of freedom, save maybe some narrow pet issues.

Amagansett Press and Rights Crispy are champions of freedom on youtube, I used to like the former better, but he made a huge stink about wearing a mask, so now I like the latter better, Rights Crispy was a marine too

Yeah man it's insane. And it seems to only be getting worse. That's why I'm so pissed and paranoid about the future. This whole COVID thing is being used just like 9/11

It’s not being smug. It’s being pissed off that our country is a fucking covid dumpster fire because of dumb shit no nothings who think they know more than people dedicated to protecting public health using science and data. The mainstreaming of illogical and pseudoscientific conspiracy theories are becoming a serious threat to democracy.

What is irrational is to believe that being asked to wear a mask to help mitigate the effects of a pandemic is infringing on your freedoms. It’s selfish. It’s immature. What kind of shit human being can’t put on a mask to help alleviate and reduce the scale of pain and suffering of those who will get sick and die of covid.

just stfu. show me one piece of peer reviewed evidence that supports masks making any difference. In fact, show me on piece of peer reviewed science that isolates the COVID-19 virus.

Why do people who have no medical training think they are equipped to make informed decisions about these issues? Would you argue with pilots on how to fly the aircraft you’re taking on vacation? Why not go to construction sites and second guess the work of the engineers ensuring the project is structurally sound. You should demand access to nasa mission control to make sure the rocket scientists know about the dome. You’re not an expert so stop acting like it’s your job to challenge the people who actually study the problem.

Look man I'm not giving anyone shit about wearing masks, even though I have my thoughts. You have to remember, I am in Canada. It really isn't that bad up here. The hysteria is way overblown. You do you (even though you're contributing to a new inch towards totalitarianism), and I'll do me. When your kids ask you 20 years from now what you did to stop the bad men, you can tell them you wore a mask, and I can tell mine that I at least tried.

I wish my grandpa was alive, he teach you a thing or two about sacrifice to prevent totalitarianism. If the government told his generation stay home for 3 months, wear a mask at all times and social distance, you bet he would have done it. You see he remembered that germs, virus and parasites where deadly. We've forgotten that fear, at least some of us have. The people in Asia forgot it too, until SARS-nCov-1, and bird flu and swine flu, hence why they handled their shit and the US is a mess, and just cause it hasn't made it to Canada yet, virus' move in their own ways at their own paces, don't get overconfident, that happened here and its killed 150k people and possibly left millions with permanent lung and arterial damage.

It has made it to Canada, and we flattened the curve.
Our population density is much less than yours so it hasn't gotten as bad. Also, we took measures to prevent it much earlier than you did. It was bad, we are beating it. We don't have a Trump in office who fucked that up.

Agree with all that, but still be safe, don't be bonehead US and open up too soon. My state got hit hard initially and is now doing great, but doesn't mean I can return to beers with my friends at our favorite watering hole.

Might need to be longer the way we(US) is handling this. I want to move Japan, but I don't think Canada would be bad, much more progressive if a bit chilly, but I'm used to some cold temps.
