[quote:Runningwithscissors:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjE2OTYxXzQwNjgxODE2] Amazing responses and ideas. An idea occurred to me with those responding positively to the restrictions with what I’m interpreting is a sense of responsibility to the welfare of others. Honest question. If you were accused of giving someone the virus, even if you thought they were wrong, would you feel horrified? Shame? Would you feel like wanting the earth to open up and swallow you up and die? I wouldn’t. I would feel like someone had crossed a serious boundary and put a responsibility on me that wasn’t mine. I expect other adults to do what is appropriate for themselves given their own circumstances and for those in their care. I just assume that as an aspect of being a free human on this earth. I wonder if this is the feelings of most people on this thread - that it’s a matter of appropriate boundaries and self-responsibility. And that shame isn’t a societal trigger for them. Just a thought. You can tell me you think I’m wrong on this. [/quote]

I’m trying to figure it out.
I’ve seen it first-hand with several family members on family text. They seem downright
excited
with the new restrictions placed locally, as mild as they are compared to other places. That’s the only way I can describe it accurately - there’s real energy and excitement about the new restrictions, like they can now become more fully part of the pandemic movie they’re playing in their heads.
To be clear, this isn’t about my family members. I’m using them as first-hand experience with how the minds work of those who are compliant. It’s disturbing. It’s like street theatre and they can’t wait to participate.
I’m interested in hearing what others’ experiences are with those all on-board with restrictions, and what you think is their motivation behind it. So many people are acting in ways I never thought the majority in society would act like.
