Will the EU be the Freedom Defenders of the 21st Century?

PSA: If you continue to believe that Covid is a massive public health threat that justifies global mandates, all while we have vaccines available, treatments available, and we know the profile of people who are at risk - this article is not aimed at you. You’re welcome to read it, but our fundamental basics will not align, so it will be difficult for you to understand where I’m coming from in this post.
It’s indisputable at this point, in late October 2021 that freedoms are under attack worldwide. Lockdowns, mask mandates, travel restrictions, commerce restrictions, and vaccine passports have been rolled out globally to varying degrees, and besides for a handful of small countries that bucked the trend from the beginning, the vast majority of places are not back to “normal”.
Citizens overwhelmingly obeyed the new rules, if not from fear of the virus itself, than from social and legal pressure. It’s time for that to end. As we’ve observed the “experts” shift and reverse every Covid policy every which way possible, only to learn that at the end of the day, Virus gonna Virus, we’ve seen that those sad little experts are just humans like you and I. The experts in charge of policy and health measures have a tremendous amount of political, social, legal and financial pressure from many directions which is reflected in the policy they ultimately force upon the public, in laws and mandates we never agreed to.
Only, we did agree. By complying, we agreed. Maybe some people still agree. I know a few who do, and they truly believe that the mandates have been crafted in the best interest of public health, follow them to the best of their ability, and sometimes judge and tsk at those who don’t. I’m sure that most of those people truly have good intentions, and only want everyone to remain healthy. But then there’s what I believe to be a large chunk in the middle. Annoyed by the mandates, but they overall go along with the rules simply because that’s the way the water is flowing. To anyone who’s red alert signals are starting to flash at the fact that we’re still masking children (or anyone), doing mass testing, and sending healthy kids into quarantine - if we continue to comply, the direction the water is flowing is about to send us right over a cliff. Once we as a people willingly attach our identity to a digital QR code that facilitates our lives - our freedoms and restrictions can be dialed up, dialed down, turned on and turned off for any reason the policy makers decide. The mandates don’t stop at your personal red line.
While the US is busy viciously tearing itself apart from within (with Texas and Florida emerging as beacons of relative freedom) the citizens of European countries who’s governments are imposing heavy handed restrictions are taking up the fight for Freedom. All over Europe there have been massive civilian protests week after week, as people insist on retaining medical freedom without coercion.
I stand with people all over the world fighting for freedom, and refusing to comply with tyrannical government rules. Thankfully, there are at least a few decent politicians in positions of power who do as well. I urge you to watch at least a few minutes of this incredible video of representatives from across the EU joining together on behalf of their citizen’s cries for a return to freedom.
It’s time to move about your life according to your decisions. If you want to wear a mask, get a vaccine, get another vaccine, get another vaccine, stay home, wear gloves, test every week, etc, go ahead.
But as always, GOML.
