    Also some people are still miffed about the measures taken.

    As I understand them, they feel very strongly that anything that curbed their rights in the face of the pandemic was unacceptable regardless of the consequences (which they seemed non-existent or acceptable). Therefore they (the think different people) think this is an important subject.

    All the covid measures where taken by “the elite” to exercise power over the masses and thus this must be countered structurally.

    I do not agree, but this is how I understand some of it.

      For most of them it isn’t that deep. They don’t really think. They were simply annoyed they couldn’t do things they enjoyed, and got angry. Not unlike little children.

      Anything more is a rationalisation and a justification of their feelings, in order to sound less impulsive and irrational.

        I just watched a documentary on dutch tv about right wing extremism in the Netherlands, and this does come up… You might be right form some, but several of the people shown articulated conspiracies others where very vocal about muh rights.
