  I'd think about the implications of that, RM. It's a dangerous move to characterise a political opinion or attitude as a mental illness, however disagreeable you may find it. Check out the 'dissidents' in Soviet psychiatric hospitals, or Drapetomania and ODD in the US. It's creeping into 'official' thinking over here: The Times recently gave front page space to a piece about 'research' that labelled people who refuse to wear masks 'sociopaths'. You don't want to go down that road; it's a long way back.
