Perfect short circuit: for the sinister freedom to die and take drugs, but not to refuse the vaccine
"My life belongs to me," the progressives claim, but it only applies to what suits them
The referendum season is back. After the successful collection of signatures in favor of legal euthanasia, the Radicals have launched the campaign on the legalization of cannabis and the decriminalization of personal drug use. Objective: to reach, by the end of the month, the 500,000 signatures needed to submit the question to a popular referendum.
Since the world began, prohibition has never brought anything good, other than an increase in demand for the black market, the consequent smuggling from one state to another and an illiberal twisting of governments, as historically demonstrated by the US prohibition period. (1920-1933).
Therefore, any political battle that rejects the idea of a state limiting the freedom to dispose of one's body is welcome, whether it is one's life, whether it is taking drugs or alcohol.
Yet, the parties that voted in favor of the text presented in Parliament – Pd, Movimento 5 Stelle and LeU – are precisely those that, for almost two years, have been supporting a restrictive health policy on our fundamental freedoms, are in favor of the vaccination obligation. and an extension of the Green Pass to almost all life activities.
The perfect short circuit is accomplished when the left praises another "right" that has always defended: the legalization of abortion.
From the freedom of choice and from the slogan "the body is mine, I decide" , progressives have moved on to convincingly demand the vaccination obligation, that is to force people to have a substance injected into their body (in the case of younger beyond any risk-benefit ratio).
There is no freedom to infect and endanger the life of others. Does not exist. And in fact, if you are positive you are not "free" to infect, there is an obligation to quarantine.
But if we consider the principle of freedom to dispose of one's body valid, to the point of freely deciding when to end one's life, or to take harmful substances (with huge costs for the community), or whether to abort, with equal intellectual honesty we should accept the simple principle that no one should be forced to have a substance injected into their body.
But progressives have a hard time understanding that freedoms cannot be discriminated between politically correct and incorrect. If one decides to legalize abortion, euthanasia or cannabis, one cannot fail to be a champion of the freedom not to be vaccinated – precisely because one must freely dispose of one's body – and of all civil liberties that, especially in these two years, they were strongly compressed.
For many progressive legionaries, however, freedom seems to be a flag to be waved only when it is necessary to achieve the points of one's political agenda. If it is invoked to oppose the green certification and the obligation to vaccinate, here is the process of blame, brandishing the political opponent as a "denier".
"History teaches that when peoples trade their freedom in exchange for promises of order and protection, events always take a tragic and destructive turn", said the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, on the day of the 74th anniversary of the Liberation. Today, those words seem to have been forgotten even by those who uttered them.
