Many (tho not all) conservatives I’ve run into over the years are pro-life. And yet, many conservatives are anti-lockdown. Well, I don’t understand how you can be pro-life and anti-lockdown. Cuz #COVID-19 lockdowns are 100% about pro-life. Aren’t they? source
If you oppose (what you view as) murder, then you have to support LOCKDOWNS. Not very bright, this fellow.
I'm convinced some of these fucks don't even have a moral compass. They certainly don't exercise it, or critical thinking either.
Principles matter. So, if your principle is freedom, for example, you'd oppose abortion if you see it as murder, since murder is sort of a big infringement on freedom. You'd also be against lockdowns as they're anti-freedom.
Likewise, if you don't view abortion as murder, but value freedom, you might be pro-abortion, for the freedom of the pregnant woman. I'd say being pro-choice and pro-lockdown is more nonsensical than their example. But it just goes to show they don't value freedom. They believe in lockdowns because they think it's up to a central authority to force "safety" on people.
Well, their principle is power. "One does not establish the dictatorship to safeguard the revolution, one makes the revolution in order to safeguard the dictatorship."

I do have to disagree with you here somewhat though. If your principle is freedom, you do not automatically have to oppose lockdowns. With any issue of complexity, multiple principles will be at stake, and it depends on how you balance them.

I would argue that it is not about safety or even "safety". I lost that illusion, despite initially supporting lockdowns, when they told everyone to go out and protest for violent thugs who got themselves killed.

They don't consider it murder because they're mentally deficient. This line of reasoning doesn't work because they simply cannot see reason.
