    Because your traveling. That’s an enshrined right we have given up. The government isn’t supposed to restrict your right to travel freely, which was an intentional choice and not the case everywhere

    Freedom of travel shouldn’t be taken for granted. Right now we technically have it, but it’s tracked everywhere. You shouldn’t have to show ID at the airport or a bus station, but at this point you do. It’s not a far cry from there to needing to have travel permits… It’s basically what’s being done to immigrants at this point, they can travel, but they’ll be harassed and possibly arrested

    Now, there are some practical considerations when it comes to cars, but the right itself is basically non-existent at this point

      yes, you’re travelling, and you’re doing so using a regulated machine

      the idiots who don’t understand the distinction… well, they’re idiots
