A thread to hopefully share any ideas anybody might have, on what the average lockdown-sceptic citizen can do to fight the government's policies on restricting people's freedoms, reduce the chance of future lockdowns, and generally increase the amount of common sense about.
As a moderate, who doesn't believe in conspiracy theories or that there is any "underlying globalist/technocratic agenda", believes vaccination should be personal choice (have had it myself but don't persuade others either way), but believes that lockdowns do more damage than good and that the government revoking the civil liberties of citizens to socialise and run business is fundamentally immoral - I feel somewhat powerless to do anything about the measures the government is putting in place in efforts to curb covid cases.
A lot of anti-lockdown journalists who I agree with say "keep fighting the good fight" which I'm sure the sentiment is well meant, but what does that actually involve?

Let's see:
Write to my MP: done.
Donate to lockdown sceptics: will do soon.
Vote for anti lockdown parties in any elections: voted for Reform candidate in council elections in May, but he didn't get in. Next general is not for another 3 years.

If your MP is like mine you will be writing regularly every time anything comes up for vate or renewal, with threats of him losing your vote, your friends votes and family's vote on a matter of principle.
You can ditch your face covering and encourage others to do the same. We are all exempt if we consider we are under Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings in a Relevant Place) (England) Regulations 2020 s4, (1) (a) and (c) or the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020 s19, (4) (a) and (c) and s20, (3) (a) and (c) and equivalent in Scatland or NI

Stay strong the real 715, discontent is growing, the Tories lost the Chesham and Amersham by-election, a normally very safe Tory seat!
This is evidence enough of the widespread discontent.
Also as usual some very good advice here from Richard T.
The truth will rise to the surface, it's all just a matter of time!
Hope the country has enough jail cells for all the Behaviour Insights Team.

steer clear of the anti-vaxxers, the conspiracy theories or any "underlying globalist/technocratic agenda", those people are known as covidiots or covid deniers, they have damaged our effort tremendously.

Since the virus can only spread when people without immunity mingle, then all you can do is mingle less and get vaccinated. And wait. That's the best thing to do is wait for the chance to express your view at the ballot box.

Well, you can start by cleansing yourself of your brainwashing. You say you dont believe in conspiracy theories and yet all the information we have today on the facts behind the so-called COVID-19 pandemic were all at one point conspiracy theories created by crazy tinfol hat lunatics. This forum is technically a conspiracy theorist community if you go off what your masters consider acceptable places to discuss world affairs. So I would be very careful what you are parroting and who is behind the words and their intentions you are parroting.

In this case what you are saying is I dont believe the truth unless I am told it is acceptable by mainstream sources to believe it. So YOU are compromised. Perhaps start there and work out just where your shackles begin and where your freedom ends. You might want to work out just how entangled you are in all the mindf*ckery and then establish what YOU believe and what you were TOLD to believe. Who owns your beliefs? Where do they come from? What are the REAL intentions behind them? If you "dont believe in conspiracy theories" then you are no use in the fight against tyranny.
