this and a thousand other rules enacted by anonymous bureaucratic ciphers in the past year have totally changed our lives, but it’s fine bro. he gets to enjoy a moment of solidarity with the ticket checkers when they make an exception in his case.

"This minor thing doesn't affect me" is the start of more restrictive things being allowed.

And it is one part of a whole world of regulations, the clear purpose of which, is to reduce the mobility and the social contacts of ordinary Germans, by making things like travel and time spent in public places more and more inconvenient and uncomfortable.

That's the whole problem with all of these rules. They have a surface hygiene justification ("talking spreads Corona"!), but they are enacted for the deeper purpose of isolating and atomising everybody. This is really what stops Corona, the elites believe.

And these things aren't dumb rules invented by clueless schoolmarms either. A lot of them are devised by people like behavioural psychologists, and then provided as recommended policies to local governments, transit authorities, etc.

I can respect standing up for a cause but did you have to pick something so insignificant?

Watch out, you'll be calling more and more things "insignificant" until your freedom becomes insiginificant yourself
