There is a contradiction here. On the one hand, we should not demand that the government/state protect us and take care of us. On the other hand, it does not protect us and does not take care of us, that is true, but it imposes such prohibitions. I think that such oppressed peoples like mine know this best, which is why so many of them refused to get vaccinated when the government said it was taking care of them, vaccinating them, when in fact it never took care of us.
I actually thought this was some kind of joke when I read the news about England. The truth is that fear and restrictions for people, new and new ones, have to be there all the time, you can't just let people live well and peacefully. There should always be tension. Even in developed countries where people live well for the most part. But it amazes me that this is happening right now, during other ongoing restrictions - those with fuel, which will soon probably close the borders again for ordinary people (why they are so keen to limit the travel of ordinary people is not clear to me). And it amazes me that this restriction is happening in England.
I am also a non-smoker and I have suffered all my life from parents and friends, all smokers, who have never taken into account me as a non-smoker, from the fact that at work smokers are tolerated with their constant breaks, while non-smokers are not entitled to them, as if smokers are some kind of privileged people who have more rights than me, and it has always been like that everywhere. So it will sound strange coming from my mouth, but yes, I think this is a major restriction of human rights. And it will affect all people and in many other areas. Tomorrow they can ban alcohol, the day after tomorrow meat, the day after tomorrow cucumbers, for example, because their production somehow interferes with carbon dioxide, why not. While bombs are being dropped right next door and the arms industry is producing at full speed things that are neither environmentally friendly nor anything. That's why I no longer believe the hypocritical nonsense about ordinary people polluting the environment or global warming or any other nonsense.
I don't even want to imagine what awaits us from here on out...
