I'm a longtime vegan tankie, but nothing makes people unfriend me faster than saying "people should mask because COVID is still dangerous" (hexbear.net)

Seriously I've lost count of the number of people I've lost, it's at least 20 since the pandemic started. It's not like people forward me articles like "oh here's why COVID is fine now".

It's an iron law to me know, I've seen it so much in my life. Libs CANNOT stomach the idea that they're in the wrong about something. It'll eat them up inside worse than anything.

Look, I'd love it if I could care about the health of myself and others, but no one else is doing it so why should I stand out? Anyway, communism will win! ✌Viva la revolucion!✌ /s

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but imagine being an older doctor in 1890, and remembering your past years of not hand washing because no one did it. Also when you mask, you're basically wearing a sign that says "I'm a fucking amazing person and couldn't give a fuck what the chuds think".

Oh sorry, I'm totally being sarcastic. That's my impression of the average "leftist" nowadays. #n95gang #stillcoviding all the way.

Ah shit, I'm too used to normie interactions and it's making me a bit defensive. I need to spend more time on Hexbear to take in the vibe. This whole post started because a few of my libleft friends disappeared.

lol no worries. I'm totally with ya. I've got some "friends" that go immediate radio silent on me if I mention covid or some of the other fucked up shit going on in florida.
