Montgomery Toms, a young activist, discusses his journey into activism, ignited by the government overreach during COVID-19 lockdowns. He views these restrictions as assaults on personal freedom which have altered the relationship between citizens and the state. Montgomery reflects on his upbringing and growing disillusionment with mainstream narratives, particularly in education, and highlights issues of free speech, citing his arrest for holding a provocative sign at a protest. He critiques the prioritization of emotional responses in policing and warns against the dangers of conflating mental health with systemic oppression.
