about as intelligent of a reply as i could have expected from someone like you. stay mad, kid.

You aren't worthy of any modicum of effort, hence you get no such effort.

You should ask your doctor if dying mad about it is right for you.

you should have finished reading that last sentence you quoted there, because it explained the disconnect betweem the first impression, and the explanation - which was ignored in order to create your 'meme'.

what it comes down to is that you support that people break rules designed to limit the spread of covid-19, while i think those rules make sense, even though they might confuse stupid people, who apparently think that going to empty places can do no harm, without realising that if the rules were not there, and smart people didn't follow them, those places wouldn't be empty.

so you can bitch and hack all you want, but this has nothing to do with reasonable and healthy scepticism against unjustified rules and authority, this is not the time or the place to be a 'libertarian' edgelord, people's lives are at risk, and you're just demonstrating your ignorance, and the joke that your political philosophy really is to a civilised society...

What I support is "do no harm" to others. So in the sense that I support doing no harm to others, so long as you are doing just that, and rules are preventing you from doing anything you would ordinarily do (in this case, paddleboarding) and you aren't doing any harm to anyone, then you shouldn't be under any obligation to obey said rule. The disconnect here is that this guy was actively doing something that was socially distant - the whole point of the rule in the first place, and the rule enforcers had to break the spirit of the rule to enforce the rule. It's rank hypocrisy, and you're here defending breaking the spirit of the rules to enforce the letter of the rules. No one's life was at risk until jackboots jackbooted. Next time you exit your front door, don't forget to ask if it pleases the crown, supplicant.

funny how you keep parroting that line, but still get triggered into replying so often, and trying to bail your buddy out of the moronic hackery they regularly engage in. it was entirely your choice to get involved, and now you're rationalising your lack of arguments by pretending you don't care. funny how that apparently makes sense to a stupid person...

i explained to you - at least twice just in this thread - that this disconnect between the first impression of absurdity, and the underlying explanation, can easily be resolved by a couple of seconds of rational and critical thinking. apparently something you're incapable of.

his activity was 'socially distant', the beach was empty, because intelligent and reasonable people got it and behaved maturely. it's sad that you're either too stupid to understand that, or too stubborn and dishonest to acknowledge it, but your edgy pubescent 'rebellion for the sake of it' take is just blatantly dumb and also dangerous to a civilised society. it's also not 'typically american', otherwise the beach would have been crowded because it's in... you guessed it maybe... america.

People that have "The Fountain Head" as a bible will be the incapable of figuring out how to help this problem. Don't go down a rabbit hole with people that literally think preservation of themselves is the utmost service they can provide.
