Been thinking a lot about the word "resistance" in the context of Americans being asked – or simply opting – to make sacrifices. WWII resistance = Joining forces to defeat a common enemy, regardless of the individual cost or sacrifice. WW C resistance = Deciding that your own desires, comforts, and conveniences are more important than others' right to breathe, public health, etc. Not our finest hour.
But THIS is the cause that people want to sacrifice their lives for? So many rights have been taken away. When faced with the world today, sometimes I gotta say "What the duck?"
There are many causes to fight for, bigger than this, in my opinion. If you die or kill those loved ones around you for this "cause," no one will consider you a martyr.

What rights have been taken away?

The "duck" line of reasoning seems to have proved useful.
