all the movies that show humanity pulling together in times of crisis are such bullshit lmao.

we are a bunch of selfish assholes.

my favorite was the story about the WoW Blood Plague where people purposely ran into towns and spread it to everyone and some epidemiologists went "hmm this could be useful case study, but nah nobody will ever purposely walk around infecting others and kiilling people. humans work together in our collective best interest!!"

If Independence Day aliens happened right now we'd first go "nah its just a hoax" followed by "naw its just a russian hoax", even as they're dropping big laser beam load on americans heads they would say fake news. and we most definitely would not come together to fight them when their shields are down

'whats this, a message from china saying they got someone to upload a Mac OS virus to the mothership and all the shields are down and now is the time to attack before it's too late? loving COMMUNIST CH*NKS they just want to take my FREEDOM"

all those turbo lib movies from the 90s - 00s of everyone of all religions, skin color, gender, and age diversity coming together collectively to Save People / Stop Da Big Bag is just quaint and antiquated these days.

outbreak is also great, they start by bombing the virus which is definitely a trump move and they have a dramatic freakout midway through when OH MY GOD IT'S AIRBORNE

also Kevin Spacey dies painfully. not as cathartic as the 2nd act of Live Die Repeat, but not bad

lmao i forgot about that. half the country would be hootin n hollering upon hearing how LA and NYC was wiped out over how those gay diseased ANAL CUM filled LIBTARDS urban ferals had it coming and cheering on aliens as being a sign of TRUMPGOD meant to purge the libs, before they then get annihilated too

which is exactly what happened when the outbreak happened in NYC/Seattle

I'd like to re-emphasize a point I've been bringing up regularly throughout this thread: these people do it because they get off on bullying people, because most people shy away or wilt under pressure or are otherwise socially polite instead of blowing back up at them. It is literally ape social dominance tactics. If even a small amount of people begin to push back loudly and aggressively instead of yielding/disengaging the amount of public bullies will go way, way down.

Some of them aren't bullies so much as people who are just absolutely freaked the gently caress out at being restricted in any way at all. The woman in that video is bullying the store employees, but she also seems like she's on the edge of an anxiety attack. The only person I've ever encountered doing this in real life just kept screaming "It's over! COVID IS OVER!" over and over again like some kind of magical incantation that would make everyone pull their masks down and force things to go back to normal.

Hello thread. Both my parents died within the last 12 months. A pipe broke in my house while I was away on a 3 day trip. My cat was run over yesterday. My partner is poc and we have no way of leaving our lovely racist southern state. I spend too much time in cspam and get mad at some stupid posts when thats definitely throwing rocks in a glass house.

Whew ok. A decent substitute for real human interaction.
