Not sure I get your point.
I'm certainly not following any specific orders.
They closed the roads.
I see no reason to barge down the closed road, trying to draw attention or trouble for myself.
You have to pick your battles and I don't see any need, at the moment, to stir up trouble.
I don't belong to any right wing groups or militias so not too much I can do for the time being.
For some sort of rebellious action you would need to be somewhat organized.
Personally, the safety of my family, is the most important thing, no matter what the outside world is doing.
However, if pushed too far, an individual may have to choose between Liberty or Death.
Nothing is open, so its not like I can go to some Casino, Restaurant, Store and force them to accept my business.
Gyms and basically every form of entertainment is closed.
Although, most Gun Stores are Open!
I was "staying at home" for decades before it now became law or popular.
I try to find things to do outside for my wife because she can't handle the Lock Down.
Some people just can't mentally handle being at home watching tv, cleaning, cooking, playing games... etc etc.
The constant Fear Mongering from the Media doesn't help her or her type.
Some people actually believe the Air is Infected and they are going to catch it or die lol.
I don't fully cooperate with these stay at home orders.
I go out to the mountains or desert almost every day.
I hop the fence at some dog parks late at night or early morning.
The lakes aren't exactly closed because you can get to them by foot or bicycle so you are allowed to fish.
However they blocked off and closed the roads for vehicles which is kinda a problem.
I certainly don't want to cross state lines if they are going to give me some hassle when I return back to my home state.
That doesn't seem worth the bother.
I understand you are just trying to needle me or make fun of me and my thoughts.
I get it and I don't have a problem with that but you are probably better off being more derogatory and to the point.
I think what you posted is a losing debate from your position.
I would think that the ultimate freedom in the world is to buy, sell and own firearms legally.
I think many people underestimate how strong that freedom is.
Also, the Freedom to pray to the god of your choice in public is pretty strong.
Right to Assemble and Freedom of Speech is no slouch.
Even the right to be Straight or Gay is kinda a big deal as you can't do that in every country around the world.
It wasn't long ago that in America, England and other countries you would go to prison for being openly gay.
Happened to that guy Oscar Wilde who said he found Jesus in Prison.
If citizens lose some of these basic rights, America will turn into Red China or North Korea.
