  • That this is the big issue it is across the US is why I have no hope for any of us. It’s exemplary of everything wrong with our society. We all deeply distrust one another and most don’t even want to make connections with anyone outside their typical circle. We can’t be bothered to care about anyone else or be happy that someone’s life might get better if ours doesn’t proportionally. I don’t know if it’s resource fears or just we’ve been programmed to never trust anyone else.

    It breaks my heart that we’ve all fallen into the trap they set for us all. Solidarity is the only way out and we don’t even have a granule of it

And I 100% support everyone else trying to starve the beast as best they can, I’m also telling as many people as will listen to enjoy the things they can right now, because all of our lives are about to become much much more difficult for the foreseeable future

It’s like if cigs ONLY made you smell bad and wouldn’t kill you, still gross and bad to be hooked, but not actively causing irreversible harm
