Covid fear and lefties.
My observations in this matter is that this is a political stand point.Fear and compliance to covid restrictions is wide spread amongst democrats and socialists.
It's because it's natural to blindly follow leaders on that side of the spectrum.
Individualists who treat everything with curiosity and suspicion tend to lean towards the right.
Same goes for posters on CS. I see how people group together with these two subjects.
It's always Turtle all the way down!
Very simular to religion actually. No matter what you present as evidence their opinion will not change.
I see the same thing in all people. We will not change opinion until we do it by own accord.
My car is the best car until I got rid of it, then after that it was a piece of shit to everyone who ask.
I grew up in a neighborhood where all the house where built at the same time and looked identical. 5 individually owned houses in the same house body. I don't know the English word for it. There where hundreds of houses. All had the same white picked fence exept ours and one of the next door neighbors. My father and the neighbor was both business owners. We got constant criticism about our low wall with Tuja planted on top. When we sold the house so did the neighbor and it didn't take long for the new owners to demolish the wall and put up a fence instead!
It's a Sheep mentality in the masse, you don't want the Wolf to pick you out.
That is the difference between left and right.
Unfortunately there are more Sheep then Wolfs and in all democracies conformalists rule.

case and point
your low wall story reminds me of one of the things found in a short young adult set of books, beginning with THE GAMMAGE CUP. The author was a contemporary of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and could even have sued the author of the HARRY POTTER series for her adoption of his word "muggles."
This story told of a small and insular race, much like hobbits, and in their village, doors were only to be a certain color. It was a tradition or convention, but not a hard and fast rule, apparently, but it caused the other towns-hobbits to grumble and gossip disapprovingly at the obstinately and flagrantly wrong-colored door.
Sound familiar?
