I was thinking about this post of mine about lockdown.

I don’t think deontologically, so this didn’t occur to me until now — but the libs who claim that nowhere “really” did lockdown are reasoning this way: Covid wasn’t eliminated, ergo [insert place here] didn’t truly do a lockdown.

Ah that makes so much sense now. I simply cannot think that way easily, so it takes me a while to reason ass backwards like that.
