This is always a risk, but the thing is, these problems always go both ways.
Just as a Christian can be persecuted for not being an atheist climate change worshipper today, so can that same Christian be persecuted for not adhering to State orthodoxy tomorrow.
The problem is, we’re in a Cold War now. Which means sometimes “being fair” isn’t the right answer.
After all, if we were “fair” to every single Nazi in WWII and stopped to sort through every individual’s history and determined when they were being genocidal or when they were just expressing free speech, then we might not have a country.
If we were being “fair” during the Civil War, I’m sure you’d find plenty of people in the south who just wanted to be able to support their family and were scared they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.
So, in times of war, sometimes what’s fair has to be put aside for the sake of assuring fairness for everyone later. In that case, making sure we don’t save people only to have them come right back after us would be ill advised.
But at some point “the war” will be over, and (hopefully) we will be victorious. Then, we need to be fair and not vindictive.
So, where’s the line? It’s tricky, and right now it’s up to each of us to decide.
Remember, not every vaccinated person is an authoritarian globalist who wanted to see us dead. Some just wanted to keep their job. Doesn’t make them fully non-complicit, but does it make internment camps right?
