Love this. Great framing of the issue. I think the most alarming thing the plandemic has revealed is the sheer number of latent tyrants and useful idiots roaming about the world. It's truly terrifying.

Silly Gato, assuming we share a goal of freedom in the first place.

We've seen enough rhetoric expressing outright contempt for "freedom" as a value that it should no longer surprise us when policies seem aimed at curtailing it. People like Arnold Schwarzenegger have been surprisingly transparent about what they think of freedom. Freedom is not even a value they pretend, through platitudes, to support now. Rather it is on its face something that runs counter to "safety" and "justice."

This is the bullet the petty tyrants have been shooting for at least decades. COVID heated the furnace and let them refine and forge it into a magical, silver, armor-piercing round: "your freedom puts me at risk."
