The number of people embracing full fascist social Darwinism towards the poor and immunocompromised is depressing and heartbreaking to say the least.
People should be protesting the poor response to COVID and the poor containment methods/ lack of government support. But nope, people protest about having to give a shit about other people and the flow of their precious treats. Astroturfed or not it still sucks.
We lost the mask mandate where I live recently. It was kind of sad to see most people just ditching the mask with the few who are in the most danger of covid left to fend for themselves.
Like at my work the only customers wearing a mask were a elderly lady and a woman who had cancer. I can’t help but feeling that not wearing a mask is a big “fuck you I don’t care if you die” to these people.
Just losing faith in humanity here, as a treat. Really makes me not want to take part in society at all.

If anything, anti-maskers are worse than drunk drivers. At least drunk drivers haven’t formed a political movement to force everyone to drive drunk. (You do not, under any circumstance, “gotta hand it to em”, etc., etc.).
It’s as if anti-smoking ban activists gained mainstream legitimacy and endorsement across the political spectrum
It’s as if anti-smoking ban activists gained all that, and if smoking was more contagious then then the flu, and you couldn’t tell who a smoker was.
I really am thinking about not taking part in society at all. I’m high risk so wtf am I meant to do, isolate for the rest of my life? Constantly fending off hostility from people who want me to take the mask off and deepthroat my dose of covid? I’ve been watching all these videos of people living cheaply off the grid and wondering if that could seriously be the move for me… Just give up and go full hermit because everyone in this country wants me dead anyway. It makes me horribly sad - I always wanted to fall in love with a girl and get married, and now I don’t see how that’s possible if I have to avoid everyone forever.
Yeahhh between people’s responses to:
- COVID restrictions
- The Ukraine/Russia war
- Helping the working class ever
- Trans people, God forbid, just peacefully existing
It’s been hard recently to not just return to the edgy “I hate people” emo kid I used to be in high school
