Those "torches and pitchforks" would quickly be followed by ventilators and graves. I absolutely despise authority and loss of individual liberty, but this isn't a fabricated crisis. Once you see multiple people you know devastated by COVID, you quickly realize it's not a hoax. I'm talking about younger people too (20-40), permanently damaged respiratory systems and near death experiences.

I have seen people getting shot, stabbed and blown apart, was shot at and was near an botched airstrike... perhaps this makes me a bit ehm... "unempathic", but the only thing i really, really fear is an perpetual lockdown with no real end in sight.

So... i myself side with freedom and (risk of) death.

Yes, I believe that's the case. Most people have not witnessed these things first hand. Nor should they.
