Also, if one is forced to get a medical procedure that one doesn’t want, purely because they didn’t have the amount of money that’s required for bodily autonomy in their society, then yeah, I would call that “degrading” and a bunch of other stuff. A company is right to mandate what it wants for its employees, but it is not “hyperbolic language” to call some of that treatment degrading.
Am I the only one here who can easily relate to that twitter guy’s sentiment? Do rationalists not value the whole “dignity of autonomy” thing as an end in itself?

In Lithuania, a bill has been passed that denies the unvaccinated rights to:
non-essential stores
stores, whose area is over 1500 sqm
beauty salons
library
small repair services > 15 mins of time
any indoors cultural / sports / celebration events
outdoors events > 500 people
And their main slogan is “Turn your shoulder—become free!”
While these actions are supposed to be coercive, I feel they’re doing much the opposite. And it makes non-swayed judgement really hard.
