1.) Proposed: forced vaccination for the CCP virus, using experimental vaccinations, and issue of vaccine passports. Freedom at risk: freedom of movement, freedom of association, freedom of employment and more.
2.) Existing: in some states it is illegal to sell, purchase or possess certain firearms based on arbitrary appearance. Lost freedom: right to bear arms and self defense.
3.) Existing: in some states it is illegal to sell or purchase raw milk. Lost freedom: Ability to choose and consume something that had previous been done for millennia. (I had to rack my brain for this one. It is an example of something small that shows how far tyrants will go micromanage lives.)
4.) Existing: It is illegal to smoke in private businesses, e.g., bars. Freedom lost: Ability for businesses to choose what elsewhere legal behaviors are allowed on their property. (Note: I don't smoke, never have, but this used to be common. Smoking or non-smoking is not at issue. It is telling people what they can do with their private property.)
I think the important question to ask is, “How did we lose those freedoms to begin with?” or, “Why didn’t we do anything to stop the loss, when we all knew what was coming?”
ESL?
I am amazed that this thread is not growing rapidly, the examples of lost freedoms are legion. A few,
The right to own property, if you have to pay a fee to keep it or use it you dont own it. i.e
Property taxes, auto registration.
The right to the free use of said property, the state determines who i am able to rent my home or spare apartment to,should I refuse one of the states protected classes I am likely to lose all I have through lawsuits.
The right to my labor, I can no longer chose who i work for, the news is full of examples of those who chose not to to a project because of concience and have now lost all they own or are now embroiled in legal battles.
The state requires me to wear a seat belt while driving because of potential costs to society if I am injured, and at the same time they in many places provide safe spaces for junkies to inject their poison. In my state they even provide the drugs
Well thats my share for now.
