You somehow missed the cold war, the draft, ... Societies have a lot of power and at times use it; and such use might not be wrong. People believing those things don't exist were just ignoring history. If you want to check out of society that will need quite a bit of doing.

I did not miss the cold war (I was born under communism), I do believe that societies exist and have power, and I do not want to check out of society.

What a bizarre non-sequitur.

You might have missed how the West was during the cold war then.

But why then complain when societies act? Having strong reactions to pandemics is historically normal nor can I see anything to wake up to in terms of oppression.
