i only did one political philosophy course but everything that i studied about preventing tyranny was based on social contract theory or utilitarianism, i.e. the greater good had to be considered. you have the freedom to choose, you just don't have the freedom to influence others who choose not to have you in their businesses etc if your choices endanger them.
This is ridiculous because you're talking as if this were Ebola. It's not. We have never restricted people over flu or other respiratory illnesses. There are clear laws about discriminating against people based on their medical status, because it's a private matter between you and your doctor. No one else has any right to that information. As for the 'greater good', people will act in good faith when the evidence is clear and reasonable, and does not contradict basic morality. In the current situation the evidence is
not on the side of restricting people because again covid is of little risk to the overwhelming majority, and you can try as hard as you like to spin that the other way but it simply is a fact.
your bodily sovereignity is not in danger. your ability to behave like you have no responsibilities to those around you is what is being discussed.
Well, actually it is. The EU are talking about compulsory jabs (some nations have started implementing it) and Boris Johnson last night said we might need to "have a discussion" about it. There's millions of people in this country who are going to become very violent if they try that path, I can tell you that for a fact. Again, I have no responsibility for the health of other people. You can choose to subscribe to the belief that you do, that's your right in a free society.. but it is equally my right not to subscribe to that belief.
The minute you start making other peoples health your responsibility by law is the point at which your society is no longer free. Free societies are based on individual choice, not on collectivism and communist ideology. Hence the reason why the globalist ruling class are pushing this scam in this manner, because it is the gateway to the digital authoritarian control grid they desperately want to create. You have to blind to not see where this is all going quite frankly.
people who are happy to act as a vector for disease are the entire reason our freedoms are being limited still. you've literally caused the thing you're fighting against.
This is just completely false. Freedoms are being limited by the government, not by me or the virus. Would you like to me to list out for you the nations where they haven't taken our draconian approach and are just a-ok? Or would you like to continue to ignore them because it doesn't fit your paradigm?
children under 18 have died of covid. that is a risk.
how can society owe them everything, but you, a member of society, have no responsibility to protect the health of anyone else other than yourself?
Rubbish. A handful of minors may have died
with covid, but that doesn't mean jack shit. Those numbers say nothing about the individuals actual health status either and I'll bet my left nut that all of them had an underlying health problem, and it was that health problem that really killed them. A positive test means fuck all in context of the totality of the individuals health status.
No one has a responsibility to protect the health of anyone else. We have never held that premise as a cultural belief or attitude. You can
choose to, if you wish, but that's what it has actually always been.. a free choice, not a implied responsibility.
Unless fuck expensive: the shit doesn't last longer than its guarantee period!
There'd still have been plenty money to be made. Believe me: there's no limit to how much somebody would pay for an antidote if they were bleeding from every orifice! Also no arguments about wearing (gas) masks!
