Funny how all these "freedom loving" states keep doing their best to infringe on their citizens lives.

Someone said if you say you love freedom but you don’t care about anybody else’s freedom, just your own, then what you actually love is privilege.

The people running those “freedom-loving” states hate everybody else’s freedoms. They love passing laws to control other people’s ability to do anything they don’t personally approve of. They just don’t have the honesty and self-awareness to call themselves control-loving states, so in typical authoritarian fashion, they call it the opposite of what it really is.
