I remembered reading this at the time & feeling affronted. Liberty itself was not a good reason to be opposed to Lockdown but having 'progressive values' - claiming to care about the poor - was.
Lockdown IS a progressive concept - we care SO MUCH about today's designated 'victim' group we will move heaven & earth to protect them.
Change will be necessary.
You healthy strong people will need to pipe down & quite whining.
Have some compassion.
Progressives just see different victims & argue amongst themselves about who to protect:
Covid vulnerable v lockdown vulnerable
Trans activists v feminists
They all try to prove they care about others - not their own rights & freedoms.
Now progressives like Aseem Malhotra, having insisted everyone should #bekind & have the jab are monetising *cough* campaigning for the Vax injured. The latest victim group to be profited from.
None of these people would ever admit to caring about their own lives & happiness. They march around claiming they CARE SO MUCH about other people's problems.
But they always make sure they get well compensated for doing so.

@BenIrvineAuthor And in Canada. Governments around the world fought impotently against public sector Socialist/ terrified / lazy refuseniks, desperate not to re-open. And they pretend it didn't happen
@BenIrvineAuthor Jacinda Arden was under huge pressure too. Schools, Public Health, Epidemiologists demanding children stay masked in school as goverment lifted the mandate. i.stuff.co.nz/national/healt…
