I've been thinking a lot about individual freedom and how activists dupe those in power to adopt well-meaning policies in the name of the "Greater Good" that slowly chip away at our freedoms until what remains is a Totalitarian State ~total state control of our lives.

#SeeMasks
I see it happening at all levels, not just the state, but the work place, social media, etc.

Activists come in all guises, but they say the same thing:

"If we adopt this Good Policy, we will create a Better World™"

Then the policy gets weaponized for profit and to punish.
For example, in academia. A seemingly innocuous policy like "create a safe environment for students to learn" (who would argue with that? I'm for it.) becomes weaponized to stifle speech, fire professors, and disinvite speakers.
