To answer your question practically?
In 2022, you're right. You shouldn't put your ass on the line for the bugmen. They're scum who want you dead, but those of us who can still think, and give a shit about traditions and reason, about the reason our country exists, need to let these two years be burned into our bones. We need to make sure our kids never doubt that what has happened to us is travesty, and that we do our part to teach the next generations the way the world should be.
Might be a bit doomer to say, but our generation, the generation after us? Lost. We can fight for scraps of freedom here and there like repealing mandates, but we're not gonna tear down what they've built. We have to accept, much like builders of old, and even the leftists of the early 1900s, that we won't live to see our work complete, but we still have to start laying those foundations.
