[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 936234, member: 12283"] Here's what strikes me about these discussions. If there is a spectrum of views on COVID, from the extremely concerned and extremely pro-mitigation on the right side to the extremely unconcerned and anti-mitigation on the left side, I am obviously left of center. Of course, I'm not saying that it's binary. We are all somewhere in the middle between the two extreme ends. I am way close to someone who is just right of center than I am to, say, a conspiracy theorist who doesn't believe the vaccines accomplish anything at all. What's interesting is that I feel like people on the left are [I]generally [/I]fine with saying "we disagree with you guys on the other side, but that's not a big deal; let's just leave each other alone." Whereas the sentiments I [I]often [/I](note-- not generally; I wouldn't say this is a majority) see on the right side are "you need to be silent, you need to be banned, you need to let my opinions control your actions." In other words, one side says "yeah I don't have much faith in lockdowns, masks, or vaccine mandates, but if you want to stay home, mask up, or get the jabs, great." Whereas many on the other side say "I do have faith in the lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates, so the authorities needs to enforce these things on you." It's those latter people and their ideology who are far and away the biggest threat at work in this whole debacle. They and their mindset are way more dangerous than the virus. If I'm motivated to vocally oppose anything in this whole situation, it's them. [/QUOTE]
