If a person chooses to live in a society, rather than choosing to live off-grid and free of society, they can't reasonably complain about being forced to do things for the sake of what's best for society

Lol, true about wardens!

The internet is a hard place to make a good point. I am not saying decent citizens arguing over what is best for society are bad people. That's how we make good decisions on what is best. I am saying indecent citizens refusing to do what's best for society have no right to complain, because they choose to live in that society, and thus have entered a social contract to do what's best for society. For ex, a pandemic is crushing our economy and way of life, so what's best for society is whatever gets us out of that as quickly as possible. That is unarguable. People had a chance to behave decently, and too many refuse, so the government has to lay the smack down.

For the record, I dislike the far left just as much as the far right. Both sides are kooks.
