It also explains why Canada today has fallen to fascism.<\/p>\n<p>As demonstrated in <strong>a sampling of letters to the editor<\/strong> of a daily newspaper in London Ontario, <strong>the comments and opinions are dark and disturbing<\/strong>, particularly given that they represent a significant majority of views:  <\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSince when do the rights of the individual override the rights of the group?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a letter to the editor, (the writer) equates his grandparents\u2019 risking their very lives in a real war, to his selfish \u2018fight for choice and freedom.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is shameful\u2026 to suggest Canadians enlisted in the Second World War so their descendants could choose to refuse a life-saving vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome now claim a right to choose to refuse vaccination, an act of selfishness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Coercing them) may be the only way to get recalcitrant people to put the common health above conspiracy theories and their selfish wishes to avoid possible minor vaccine side-effects, and finally vaccinate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a collective society, during a pandemic, each person must pull together for the betterment of all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCivilization did not get this far by individual\u2019s rights.\u201d<\/em>  <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>What all of these cited opinions share in common is an expression of contempt for individual freedom of choice.  <strong>Whether aware of it or not, those who express opinions of this nature are explicitly advocating fascist ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the majority of a nation\u2019s citizens become fascist, the elected governments and politicians that \u2018represent\u2019 them must too, become fascist.
