I'm getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, "being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged" or "you're a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you" in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I'm not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

I've been saying it for four years, the virus doesn't give a fuck about your politics, you're not owning anyone, you're just shaving decades off your lifespan, which I guess technically means you're owning yourself

If we were a sane society, people not practicing safe covid precautions should receive an ass-whooping, because it would count as self-defense

I think the virus really likes capitalism. It’s done a lot for it.
