I don't know what liberalism is even supposed to mean in this context; surely any sort of Marxist or materialist analysis would tend to put the blame on the systemic forces shoving people into the orphan juicing machine, not on the individuals navigating the systems incompetently.
OP of that post was also not actually blaming his partner, it was a vent post, a way to air frustrations that are not worth or appropriate to do more than that for. It is extremely silly to frame it this way, like he sat down and ran the numbers and its all his partners fault, thats not the kind of post it was
I mean I read the following
As raging at her. That's what it seems to convey to me. If not, then yeah, disregard me.
I am fairly sure that its more along the lines of "fucking raging" at the 7th red light in a row on your 40 minute commute when you just want to be home after a double shift
Not like baying for blood, but like, GAAHH. I imagine the person who wrote that post spent exactly as long thinking of what words to use there as they took to type them out, it wasn't an effort post
I could also be wrong, but this is hexbear and we're supposed to assume good faith, especially in the context of an emotional vent post
Literally thank you. I thought of putting an edit under the post, but we're all grown ups. I just needed a space to unload my feelings when unloading on my partner wasn't helpful.
Yeah, I guess in that case I agree that the person calling him an asshole went to far in that sense, automatically assuming the worst case scenario and going on the attack.
Yeah, there's several of those responses now in that thread and they piss me way off.
Im definitely with you that the healthier perspective is not to blame the person but the system that has inflicted this, while being as supportive as possible with prophylactics/ strategies etc, but thats the rational response, I'd be pissed at my partner too internally even while fully rationally aware that its silly to feel that way, but I wouldn't not feel that way inside a little lol
I don't interpret it that way, but I also don't think being angry at something makes someone bad faith. Emotions aren't exactly logical and rational things.
~~You~~ Someone else was deliberately undermining evidence-based precautionary advice regarding vaccines and masking, despite, apparently possessing the knowledge and tools to see that what you were dispensing was at best merely dismissive of individual efforts towards harm reduction in their own lives, and at its worst, simply harmful advice.
edited: sorry, I'm losing my mind and conflated you with another user
Yes, as evidenced by the fact that I stated I masked everyday in a KN95, spray ELAH in my nostrils twice daily, and have every vaccine I am eligible for.
Look you don't get to pretend everyone who has a different take on the morality of individual covid precautions is undermining the science of individual covid precautions. I was arguing with a colleague in March 2020 about the efficacy of the N95 I was wearing to the store because "CDC said there's no evidence those help", I'm not about to take accusations of mask efficacy minimization from you seriously.
I 100% conflated you and another user. I'm so sorry for my aggression. Everything about covid, especially seeing people here doing what I erroneously accused you of has really been eroding my sanity.
No worries, that whole thing was a mess.
Cheers!
no, they were not doing that, i agree with what you're saying in OP but @a_blanqui_slate was not doing those things.
Did you confuse them for someone else?
