In my area the absolutely tyrannical and authoritarian stuff is coming from a certain demographic. 1. Women. 2. White. 3. Works in a healthcare related field. 4. Has never taken their health seriously (but they want to save everyone else)
Just my observations.
Same mentality of the nanny crowd inspecting the lunch you packed for your kid and having a hissy fit because you added a snack sized Snickers bar.
