It is also very disappointing that many self-identifying leftists have also either fallen victim to the propaganda machine around COVID minimization or no longer care to keep themselves and their vulnerable comrades safe, at least in some contexts. I can sort of understand those feelings of weariness from individuals about nothing being done to mitigate all the death and suffering that COVID continues to wreak. I personally don't agree with that choice though, obviously.

But idk, at a minimum, it is extremely disappointing to me that leftist orgs and unions in general are very anti-mask/pro-COVID at this point. I don't understand what the fuck the point of being a leftist is if you are literally creating an environment that is especially dangerous to disabled/immunocompromised folks, like organizers should be all over requiring masks at events and giving virtual options. Especially because COVID is a workplace safety issue. What the fuck happened to "an injury to one is an injury to all?"
