Well it's questionable when that personal freedom is part of the same society's constitutional law.

In that case, there would be no limits at all to what a society can and can't do, just declare martial law at any time for any reason. That's the same thing as living in a totalitarian dictatorship.

Can society actually become the opposite of itself over night, and this should not be questioned?

One of the core basic principles of society is this freedom, and suddenly it's obvious that society can take away freedom whenever it wants? Does not even need to be debated and people who have show any form of surprise or need to talk about this, should be ridiculed?



People talk about freedom restrictions from covid, but can't enumerate freedoms (real freedoms) that were removed.

You don't have freedom to go to work or travel and ignore rules and regulations. Never have and never will.
