Why are they associating anti-lockdown sentiment with the far-right? Not everyone who is against lockdowns is even right-wing. Lockdowns are classist. Hell the SJWs can even claim that lockdowns are racist and sexist and they wouldn't actually be wrong (black and brown people are less likely to work from home. More women lost their jobs to lockdown than men apparently). There are leftist critiques of lockdowns that exist online.
Even people on r/toronto, about as far left and sjw as a sub you will find, seem to be increasingly against lockdowns these days.
Because people have a breaking point. People want their fucking lives back. And we're tired of being shamed for being "selfish" for wanting our lives back after 8+ months of COVID lockdowns and restrictions. COVID-19 is most likely a bad flu. The accounting of COVID deaths is far more liberal than the accounting of flu/pneumonia deaths ever was. If COVID is far more lethal and severe than the flu, why is the median age of death about the same for both illnesses? The median died with COVID age is 84 in Peel and that pattern is repeated across Canada and much of the developed world probably. I think I heard in Alberta the median COVID death age is 82. So it varies a bit from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It's more or less in line with flu outcomes I think.
