The fingers of restraint are reaching for ordinary citizens. The restrictions to the civil liberties expected by normal people in most societies is appalling. This will end in anarchy.
Yes, 'they' are coming to get you dear paranoid keyboard warrior. Most nations - through their elected leadership - have implemented restrictions to contain the spread of this disease. I don't agree that such restrictions are a threat to your civil liberties, as your civil liberties don't extend to harming, infecting and potentially killing your fellow citizens. And even so, whatever restrictions those fingers of restraint have imposed on you can be challenged through the courts and overturned through elections.

With the exception of the state being discussed in this thread. There is no legal recourse, there are no political elections, and justice is defined by the party alone. So in contrast to liberals denying your weekly gang bang at Costco without face masks, what's going on here is a real threat.
