This site is wearing me down this past week.
edit: I am more worn down. Shouldn’t have posted this thread. Feeling awful about my future.
Yeah I honestly had no idea a significant number of our users became straight up covid deniers over the last year. literally just hearing them parrot all the chud bullshit 3 years late. :agony-4horsemen:
I think younger people in general are “over it”. From what I’ve seen in communities I used to be part of, especially when there is eating, drinking, music, dancing involved. I think once people get past the “oh I went to a huge music festival and didn’t immediately die, I guess this is okay”, then all bets are off it seems.
I do sorta feel for young people. In my teens and twenties, I took enough drugs and went to enough clubs to kill a large family. Now that I’m in my early 40s, I’m just over all that stuff.
My opinion is: you’re welcome (albeit not advised) to go to a music festival, just please mask when you’re in front of me as I didn’t ask for the risk.
This is where I’m at. I do really stupid shit sometimes like going to clubs and bars without a mask in sight. But when I’m in the grocery store I wear my fucking mask because the people in the store didn’t sign up to go to a club, and it’s one extra chance to catch it I can cut out.
I did notice that some of them have new accounts. So maybe there’s bullshit afloat.
I would not be that surprised if we are being brigaded. Tbh Hexbear, while not perfect, is probably one of the best non-COVID specific digital spaces I encountered online when it comes to this virus. Like with the exception for the past few days it has honestly been better than like a lot of other leftist spaces I know.
