Liberalism use to mean something. Eventually it devolves and denigrates into a menace, destroying tradition and culture through demoralization and ideological subversion.

I will say that the French are still protesting and don't give two craps about what Macron has to say. I was on a livefeed of the French protests and most of the people there reason that this Pandemic narrative is a PsyOp, used to curtail what they are doing.

In any case, this will hurt the economy, and I don't think it is really necessary, so either they are doing it out of paranoia, maybe hysteria; or maybe its ignorance, or it is for an entirely different agenda.
