no, I don't think it's "just your circles".

I think you're correct and it's sad but a huge majority of the dissent here is just an exercise in strawman rhetorical bullshit, not of the conscious variety. people just ... not comprehending what's being said to them and then launching in to pompous ego rants with no basis in reality, all under the guise of anti-authoritarianism or "critical thinking".

for a bunch of reasons, mostly to do with how people don't even understand logical well enough to parse the distinction you just made there: like, that's a pretty fucking important distinction to do with autonomy and I've been watching SO MANY people not be able to tell the difference between an opinion and a mandate enforced by the state.

like ... how the fuck are you an anarchist if you can't even see the difference there? lol it's really sad

also ... it's the apocalypse? seems likely we will be confronted with thousands more very difficult choices, just like these covid ones. buckle up!
