    anything that curbed their rights in the face of the pandemic was unacceptable regardless of the consequences (which they seemed non-existent or acceptable).

    For most of them it isn’t that deep. They don’t really think. They were simply annoyed they couldn’t do things they enjoyed, and got angry. Not unlike little children.

    Anything more is a rationalisation and a justification of their feelings, in order to sound less impulsive and irrational.

      I just watched a documentary on dutch tv about right wing extremism in the Netherlands, and this does come up… You might be right form some, but several of the people shown articulated conspiracies others where very vocal about muh rights.
