Don't forget that 2 years of stress, angst, fear, new rules, normal hate of rules, etc. will make almost anyone stressed out and angry no matter how much they believe in the purpose behind it all, or how important it is.

Which when it's society wide, makes society stressed out and angry.

Stressed out and angry people do dumb and counter productive things. Sometimes even to the point of severe self harm.

Society when it is stressed out and angry tends to fragment and be less cohesive. Sometimes even to the point of severe self harm.

Wondering which side (or which sides there are, or why there even are 'sides') is doing the MOST dumb and counter productive thing is mostly part of the problem, not actually a solution, in the same way as a tired angry person trying to figure out who to yell at/blame, instead of getting some sleep or whatever.

Society wide, we need to do some serious self-care and calming the hell down - which would be nice, but good luck. So I expect we'll get a lot more fighting.
