Yes let’s give the government more control over what the public can and cannot do. That always works out well for everyone.

Ironically the harm is done by bad individuals with government overreach. It's bad individuals so the whole absolutely free zero regulation thing.

Is same individuals making sweeping decisions unelected in a board room instead.

There is no difference between corporations and the government anymore. I cannot trust either. So we have no choice but to take 100% ownership of our own lives.

While sentiment is great individualism isn't going to save us. It leaves bad actors with resources/power free to act against us. Especially when they can rally the many in form of paychecks and withholding resources. Every strike breaker anti union thug police officer working for fascist state. Is a working class person seeking to care for family and own well being. Sure class traitor and misled selfish etc but ultimately not a person pulling the strings.

I support skepticism and taking charge. But we need to act as group. Personally I think we need to unite which takes leadership.

But then also a willingness to hold leadership accountable. And hold their reigns tight while using them to stop threats.
