I got mad at a friend who besides being dumb about masks was something much worse, very unfunny about it. Imagine the "and that's the tweet" irl but about masks
there's only so much a friendship is worth

I live with immunocompromised people, got 4 people on my building with it and I can't quarantine, so I can't really get on people's faces about it.

I will however find it funny that TR was far, far more abrasive towards way larger amounts of people and it was only this that suddenly got everyone mad at him.

Given that any time someone tried to tell him off with precisely the same arguments people are using here there would be several people cheering him over and over again, I'm frankly surprised people could!

Neoliberalism never even tries to justify itself, that's what they have vague progressive/liberal ad copy to hide behind. As a result they can't actually appeal to people even when they have to, because they're such terminal ghouls. See also why the Remain campaign for Brexit was nonexistent.
I mean, not really--there's been plenty of propaganda for the gig economy, for identifying as an atomized consumer in various ways, for self-care and McMindfulness instead of politics, I could go on. And a lot of people have bought into it because there's nothing else for them.

quote:

dozens of people being insane about Amber Frost again
I try not to defend Amber out of fandom or the assumption that all criticism of her is sexist. But Jesus loving Christ, I'm amazed at people who will spend more time arguing over an article they haven't read than it takes to read the article. Are you all libertarians now?

The article is about how loving annoying it is that we not only have to wear masks, we're expected embrace a culture of of "plz wear a mask uwu," corporations cynically exploiting the pandemic like they do everything else, and people who love nothing in life so much as scolding other people on the Internet. I regret to inform you that coronascolding is not some Brooklyn hipster phenomenon that Amber myopically generalized to the entire population.

So there was a viral video where a guy is handing out masks at the Staten Island Metro, and this old chud refuses a mask. People predictably went nuclear over it. My question is, why the gently caress are you handing out masks to strangers in a pandemic? Do you really believe that anyone you see without a mask just forgot to wear one, or can't afford one? Right. So if you take COVID seriously, why are you staging a political stunt at the train station?

My walk to work is dotted with "Please wear a mask" posters drawn in a twee zine style. When I watch TV, it's interrupted by commercials where everyone's cracking wise on a Zoom call. Every link to a celebrity's tweet shows them wearing a mask. (Does anybody actually believe that changing their avatar to include a mask is having any influence on anyone's decision to wear a mask?)

Yes, there's a pandemic. Yes, I'm wearing a mask. I don't need to be reminded to do this every 10 seconds by some apple-polishing little scold who pretends that they're doing the world a favour.
