"Where are you going to put your upset, your anger, your rage? Well if you live in a society that has demonized the government you put it there. You blame the government. So now you can begin to see bizarre behavior. If you don't trust the government, if you don't let them do what they have to do when you're facing an existential threat to your society you get bizarre behavior: people who won't wear a mask telling you it's because they want their personal freedom... That's like a person saying to you, "You know, when I go driving through an intersection with my car I'm not going to let the government tell me when I can go and when I can't. What's this with the red lights and the green lights? I am a free American." - Richard Wolff
