It isn’t fascism when healthcare systems get overwhelmed, an unprecedented level of people are dying, and every expert was advising for the measures that were implemented (and more in a lot of cases). There were reasons these rules were put in place. And it wasn’t for anyone’s ego or political points.
So in other words… The ends justify the means?
No.
Really? That sounds like what you’re saying: it’s acceptable to censor information, criminalize going outsid and not wearing a piece of cloth if it’s for a good cause. Namely, it’s okay to do these things if fewer people die of a disease. This is, in fact, justifying the means by pointing to the goal (the ends). Can you explain the distinction between what you’re saying and how I’ve explained it?
You’re sources don’t support the censorship of information. Just calling out supposed “vaccine hesitancy” and saying to stop it due to its impact on the public health. And yes temporary measure to wear masks and isolate is perfectly acceptable given the circumstances.
I would suggest you actually lookup examples of fascism and compare it to what yoy see today. Try send connect the dots.
Literally the first paragraph from the article by the US Congress:
And now you admit that the ends justify the means?
Don’t cherrypick quotes. What does the next 2 paragraph say?
I’m not sure why you’re insisting on not actually reading the document but alright:
Emphasis mine is the government explaining the need for, and the demanding, censorship.
Next paragraph:
This paragraph details how Facebook, under pressure from the government, agreed to remove information. That is, the government censored information. If you’d like to argue that a private individual being coerced into deleting something isn’t censorship, then perhaps you’d say the same about a newspaper being forced to not run a story about a government killing?
And for the sake of getting further context, let’s look at the next few paragraphs:
Further explaining government demands for censorship.
The government, again, demands censorship.
More pressure from the government.
And this is a very clear example of censorship happening.
I think you get the idea. If you’d like to dispute what the article says, why don’t you read it yourself?
You’re conflating information with misinformation. The quotes say misinformation, not information.
