“Yeah, you have the freedom to wear no mask.
In this week’s video, he urged the country to “work together,” saying it’s “the only way we can lick this virus.” In January, he shared a video of himself receiving the coronavirus vaccine. Schwarzenegger has been a vocal proponent of social distancing measures and of attempting to wipe out COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. And you can infect someone that then gets sick and may die.” “You cannot go not put the mask on because when you breathe, you can infect someone else. “This is the same thing with the virus,” the “Terminator” star explained. I’m going to go right through it.’ Then you kill someone else, and then it is your doing,” he said. “You cannot say, ‘No one is going to tell me that I’m going to stop here, that I have to stop at this traffic light here.
The ex-bodybuilder likened opposition to face masks to bucking traffic laws. “We cannot just say, ‘I have the right to do X, Y and Z.’ When you affect other people, that is when it gets serious,” Schwarzenegger, 74, said. The action movie-star-turned-politician’s remarks were part of a discussion with CNN’s Bianna Golodryga and Alexander Vindman to promote Vindman’s new book, “Here, Right Matters.” “Because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities,” the Republican former California governor said in a YouTube video released Wednesday. Rush pushes for government mandates on sanitation.Arnold Schwarzenegger has a message for Americans who argue that face masks encroach on their rights: “Screw your freedom.” Havre de Grace sinks anybody crossing the river into Maryland.ġ780s until the end of life - Benjamin Franklin advocates for stringent public health measures in the face of epidemics. Those breaking quarantine are jailed with assistance of citizen patrols, particularly in New York, Baltimore, and Norfolk. In no way, shape, or form, did the Founding Fathers ever envision "liberty" to fucking mean you had the inalienable right to spread disease.ġ775 - General Washington uses 100 Soldiers to quarantine the city of Boston and restrict all travel.ġ776 - the forced inoculation of the entire Northern Armyġ777- the mandatory inoculation of all Continental Soldiers and militiamenġ777 - Thomas Jefferson drafts a mandatory inoculation law for citizens of Virginiaġ770s- early 1780s - mandatory isolation and hospitalizations for anybody symptomatic.ġ793 - Benjamin Rush and James Monroe assist in enacting quarantining refugees from Philadelphia. american history is covered in this concept, and when we were at our best? the majorities were marked by this concern for their fellow countrymen. he’s giving up his freedom (in MAJOR ways) for you and me. the guy who’s in a prison camp overseas to defend you? talk to him about sacrifice for the greater good, and then get back to me about how your glasses fog up. We can’t have a (healthy, in every dimension) society, if we’re not looking out for the society’s ultimate freedoms. Well, your “freedom” is now impeding ours. but, if you’re assigned to our group, and you’re either if you’re kid the corner who doesn’t want to do his homework and get an ‘f,’ sure, most of us will roll out the red carpet for your freedom. I know one of the analogies running around about this is the whole “group project” mentality.

Underneath the united states freedom laws is a guiding principle of… “as long as it doesn’t harm another’s rights/freedoms/well-being/liberties.” At some point, when you've tried to reason with a person, when no attempt at rationality or empathy manages to placate them, when they're wholly determined to fight you head-on, then there comes a point when you have to accept the challenge and deal with them on their terms. I'm glad that somebody has the guts to aim directly for this runaway train and not beat around the bush. As with most things in the world, there has to be a balance between the interests of the individual and the interests of a society. This placement of individual "freedom" above all other considerations - including the well-being of all the humans around one - has been one of the most caustic, destructive forces in modern American society, and with climate change already having placed one foot in the proverbial door, will surely lead to our collective demise. (Here comes the "but".lol)īut I also think that the American concept of "freedom" has become like a runaway train with no brakes.
