>Ah yes another person who equates a basic courtesy, wearing a mask, with authoritarianism.
Whether something is a "a basic courtesy" (ie. how agreeable it is) has nothing to do with whether the state mandating it counts as authoritarianism. I'd certainly be crying "authoritarianism" if the state mandated that I had to thank the bus driver.
>Or are you referring to lockdowns that have not existed anywhere for 1.5 years
they shut down restaurants (and various other businesses), didn't they? They also banned events and large public gatherings. Or does it not count as a lockdown unless there's martial law and a soldier with instructions to shoot to kill at every street corner?
