Granted, nobody should be flying anywhere to see anyone right now. That said, I don't understand why these cleansing "rituals" are more worthy of scorn than Catholic mass etc. I just don't get where the anger comes from- these people who want zero covid are trying to actualize that world through their own action, which I guess is why so many people resign themselves to it being permanent (so that they don't have to do anything, which is their M.O. for everything).

It’s not worthy of scorn, but it’s like being the only person in your town who recycles. There is no way for you to make a difference on your own, it needs to come from top down systemic change

Of course, but when the system fails you have to start at the grassroots. What is more grassroots than yourself?

jesus loving christ nobody is saying 'don't wear a mask', the thing that sucks there is the person very performatively posting how many different layers she's wearing while scornfully whining about people who aren't doing as much as her.

Like, just to give her the most benefit of the doubt you're still left with poo poo like 'wearing non-cdc approved masks' and 'lowering them to eat' being used as insults, as if A) 'cdc approved masks' haven't changed wildly through this pandemic including changing from 'actually getting a mask would be bad', and B) 'lower your mask to eat' isn't part of our impotent rear end CDC recommendations.

It's almost as if the problem is on a bigger scale than some random rear end in a top hat at wetzel's pretzels needing to eat in public, and performative 'look how much I care' poo poo doesn't even address it!

it's like when people used to very weirdly brag about how long they've stayed inside, but when you ask them 'wow how'd you get groceries and all' they said 'oh yea I use instacart' and genuinely not understand why that was a sign of this poo poo never going away.

The thing about masks restrictions etc is that the “ideological battle” is totally irrelevant next to the material reality where whatever favors capital (loose restrictions no enforcement unless it’s racially targeted etc) wins out. The pro restriction people will always be on the losing side so there’s not really a need to combat with them, they are under a losing assault at all times. The cspam gas masks are a security blanket for grownups.

The real issue as was pointed out is they aren’t hip to the structural issues (slavish and unquestioning devotion to number) and have bought in to the fallacy of everything being up to personal individual choice, which you are regularly encouraged to make the wrong one from an epidemiological standpoint.

There's something darkly hilarious about the WH going from Trump not even pretending to have empathy for animals and refusing to have a pet to Biden just rotating through a cast of slightly different problem dogs every few weeks

These people doing fake dramatic conversations are really strange. Are these acting reels or something? Are they trying to get clout for saying what they would do if theoretically, they had a daughter who came out to them as gay? I don't understand the point.

the latter. You know those psychos in local news comments saying if THEY were in a room with a pedophile or someone who disrespected a cop (equally bad, of course) they'd (insert dumb guy Saw fantasy here)? It's the weird toxic gen z version of that.

That's loving bananas

Loudly proclaiming that you'd be very virtuous in a situation you aren't faced with is a pretty quick way to make me think the opposite is true. They're wearing the t-shirt that is raising questions answered by the t-shirt.

There’s also a lot of zoomers growing up in Chudlandia that are aware that their family member’s homophobic or non virtuous reactions to these situations aren’t the only option. So they could be living vicariously through these videos. It may be cringy but at least it’s not fash propaganda.

I’m not a coward I’ve just never been tested. I like to think if I was I would pass.

yea for every 'how I'd react to my son telling me he's trans' there's like five 'how I'll react when the UN forces demand I renounce Jesus or die'. It's just teens barfing whatever emotions they're feeling onto tiktok rather than in a journal like we used to.
