The COVID-19 pandemic

I certainly like things like unions. They have their faults to be sure, but those are the same faults that any organization has, and they are in general working to try to benefit groups which traditionally have less representation.

I don't think "freedumb" is mocking freedom. It's mocking people who have a simpleton view of freedom being "I get to do anything I want".

Apologies if I misinterpreted. Being from Hong Kong I often see the term used as a way to describe the protestors who were genuinely fighting for freedom and so it has a very negative connotation in my head. As someone who literally can never return home because the freedoms that once were have disappeared it's something that hits really close to home and something many people who live in the west take for granted. 

I'm always very hesitant to hand undue power to governments. Even as I've been in favour of lockdowns all the way along I'd be lying if it didnt make me a little nervous nonetheless.

Yeah, as danbrotherston said, I was mocking people who have a warped view of freedom with that choice of word. Think: the sort of morons who are proudly anti-vax or anti-mask, saying things like "my body, my choice". It was not to mock political freedom or anything like that.
