Since you write me in English, you probably had a chance to get educated without much effort contrary to the situation we have in many authoritarian states. Covid restrictions were possible because just a few opposed. But those who opposed actually did changes that we right now don’t experience restrictions. If you fight back you get what you want. There is always a price for that, obviously.

Well I wouldn't call around 25-30% of the population "a few". What % are you expecting to stand up to these regulations? Which I would imagine far fewer people would really see as a big deal, sadly.
