Whenever people and the mainstream media talk about "The trauma of COVID" they always mean the lockdowns and not the... you know... millions of deaths.
Well I have trauma about the deaths. I have trauma about the way our society was manipulated into sacrificing a huge chunk of the population with a smile and a wave, and how we just don't talk about it.
This same society still expects you to be horrified by the violence of 9/11 or whatever when the US alone was experiencing a 9/11 level of death every day and the disease is still killing, we just don't bother recording the spread anymore. What the fuck is wrong with people?!
I literally get (for lack of a better word) triggered when people talk about how hard it was to have to have to wear a mask or to not get a haircut or some selfish bullshit. Or when they act as though their kids remote learning for a while ruined them or something. It's all so petty. They just don't give a shit. They'd kill millions for a haircut. It makes my heart sink, my eyes glaze and I start dissociating.
Imagine if this was the blitzkrieg, and instead of going to bomb shelters people were just like "I'm sick of hearing about these bombings, I'm just going to pretend they're not happening and leave it up to fate." And then the bomb shelters are all closed and even the people who still wanted to take shelter are left to fend for themselves. What madness would have that been if they had done that during WW2? Dragging people into the street to be bombed?
I don't care if you were sick of lockdowns or restrictions! Fighting a pandemic should have been like fighting a war, we should have been doing everything we could to survive!
I am scared of these people. These brainwashed puppets. These eugenicists. If they can do this, well... it makes me feel surrounded by monsters. Like I can't trust anyone.
It's currently killing over 200 Americans a day but thanks for minimizing it
You're free to fuck off
eat shit plague rat
you're free to die of a preventable disease, just don't spread it to anyone else.
"I am sad that people are being stabbed but I'm not going to stop the stabbings."
Then they don't care. They chose personal comfort over millions of lives. That is the material consequences of their actions.
I don't want to mourn. I want to fight a very real threat instead of letting it ravage and cripple our population.
"Life has to go on at some point. We can't keep fighting the Axis powers forever. Sorry, we're just going to give up and give people up to the SS death squads."
That's what you sound like. Suicidal and pathetic.
Moving forward would be defeating the pandemic. They didn't move forward at all. They surrendered and sacrificed people without their consent. I am upset because they didn't move forward and meet the threat head on (meaning a real pandemic response and saving as many lives as possible)
Giving up was a sign of human resilience? Do you seriously think you can just choose reality by playing pretend? Grow up. We have to acknowledge the real world and adapt to it or the species will die. Human resilience is building fire when the blizzards come, not sending people to die out in the cold while pretending the blizzard isn't there. Actions (and inaction) have consequences. Our leaders did not have the right to sacrifice people's lives for the economies profit margin. The end result is death, permanent disfigurement by the millions (possibly billions have permanent long COVID) and future pandemics. That happened and will continue to happen until we take action whether people want to believe it or not.
...did you not see what comm this was before you commented?
They might not be psychopaths, but they are dangerously ignorant and putting lives at risk. They're also adults that should know how pandemics work. At some point they made a choice not to think. They don't get a free pass for that.
At some point "I didn't think running with scissors would get someone stabbed" is taking the piss.
