    It really pisses me off because I’m generally quite pro individual liberty, but just as your freedom to swing your arm ends a few centimeters in front of my nose, you have a responsibility to take reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of infectious disease.

    Wearing a mask for 2 years was a reasonable request. Getting vaccinated was a reasonable request. Social distancing and limiting association during a pandemic was a reasonable request

      Liberty is the twin sister of responsibility. In a world where people are aware, cognizant and rational, nearly all regulations reduce to common sense. That’s a big part of why I feel like actual libertarians should be royally pissed off at that shit - because people seriously behaving on behalf of idiotic conspiracies erodes everyone’s freedom.
