How many protesters were arrested in the Black Lives Matter march? Would have sent the right message. Probably not be in this situation now.
Real freedom is when your dead!
That’s right. No one has absolute freedom. If you want all the benefits of civilised society you have to follow its rules.

Are the costs of lockdown worth the pain? Economists weigh inAs Melbourne residents settle in for their first weekend of full stage 4 lockdown, debate about the pros and cons of isolation is under way. Jess_Irvine No. Jess_Irvine Possibly we're operating under a sunk cost fallacy, we've already lost so much so we stick to our guns Jess_Irvine No, they are not.

Meanwhile in Sweden... Because Aussies are brainwashed and conformed and can't see mental illness is rampant because systems implement mental illness. So many need coping mechanisms to mask the problem but unlike myself have no courage to tackle the systems.
