It's amazing...supposedly 21st century people in scientific, technological societies angrily refusing to do the most basic, common sense thing in response to a respiratory pathogen. The fear-based denial is incredible. Denial: Don't Even Know I Am Lying. Because of Simply How I Think.

It's like...we totally understand what viruses are and what to do about them, which is so far ahead of humans in the past, and people don't want to do it. It's (frank)ing crazy. These maniacs should disavow their phones, homes, cars, food, their (frank)ing soap, all that poop came from science.

It’s pretty crazy how society is now.
When I was younger I used to think adults were smarter than they are. It turns out, everyone is blinded by their massive egos. No matter how much it hurts someone else, people will do anything even for the smallest gains on their part.
The MAGA cult is fascist. They are just as dangerous as Nazi’s were pre 1939.

Ego and tribalism are the biggest threats to civilization.
The fact that 'alternative facts' was a phrase said with a straight face from the White House press room podium in the face of photographic evidence witnessed by billions was chilling. An American president calling the press enemy of the people is tragic.

We got too comfortable here. We allowed the propaganda and tribalism go too far w/o being checked. Now there’s a massive mess to clean up.
Freedom doesn’t come easy, and it will be tested throughout time.

I really feel for those poor Americans right now. They were literally told by their governments that it was ok to go out to the bars or restaurants or beaches. Who the (frank) wears a mask at a bar when the government tells you you don’t have to and you’re getting hammered.
People in their 40s and younger are going to start getting really sick and this poop isn’t going to go away

I really hope that the protests that happened after the George death show some change. Maybe we’ll see it in local elections - DAs, local councils, etc. Progressives have done well in the primaries so far. The joint policy committees set up by Biden and Bernie pushed Biden further than he would ever have gone on his own.
But yeah, more pressure and pressure that doesn’t let up after November.

I don’t, American’s are the last people on earth i feel sorry for.
And if they are getting their advice from the current gov’t, they deserve whatever happens to them.

I doubt anything has changed.
But it’s nice to see people organize like that. It’s a long road to actual systemic change, but at least now people know that they can show up in large numbers. That’s what scares the establishment.

People are getting way too lax. The behaviour I'm seeing is (frank)ing crazy. The virus will just keep doing what it does.

Anyone with basic, basic literacy, high school science education, thinking skills and an internet connection should be able to figure it out. So that's why we are (frank)ed. Critical thinking around media and information is in the stone age.

Exactly..
DW does a good job explaining this in a recent doc about online misinformation. It explains how humans create blindspots, and that we can’t really help it and it’s easy to exploit.
