If one values his current rights, he shouldn't care about it unless the people start favoring slavery to the state. In Western societies, there's been very little in between the poles of "as long as it doesn't harm others" and the "you are subservient to the state/community" of ungabunga tribalism, unless you were of a certain class or in a special position. Every pseudo-intellectual foolishly fashions himself as of that certain class.
But there are those of us that know, consciously or instinctually, that worrying about "collective well-being" too much is how you lose your freedoms, because eventually those in power reach the conclusion that all the retards are incapable of self-sufficiency and behavior, and strip everyone of various rights. I'm in favor of pulling the pendulum back and fixing society to where there's a balance, but I swear there's some that yearn for a hard clampdown. Some people can't or won't change, and forcing them to do so, instead of letting them face the consequences of their actions naturally or legally, is how you run the risk of trampling over others.
