When does this end?

Imagine just one article, ever, that asked the reverse.

The problem isn’t that nobody has heard the concerns of the people who refuse to listen, the people who won’t shut up. The problem is nobody ever listens to anyone else.
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Nobody has ever been heard more lavishly or thoroughly than Trump voters, who least deserve it.

Someone explain to me why those who cry the loudest about our divisiveness never direct their laments at the people who elected a corrupt and mean racist bully.
We’d be a far better kinder and yes more unified country if everyone who wasn’t a mean asshole stopped: treating mean assholes as if they had something vital to share, treating ideas that deserve no respect with respect, listening to propositions that shouldn’t be heard.

This is absolutely heartbreaking, and it is absolutely something that the far-right media, abetted by Republican fascists in government, orchestrated.

They thought anti-vaccine discord would create political opportunity. And now we have this.

This isn't "darwinism in action." These are people, and they're being murdered by selfish assholes spreading misinformation and selfish assholes who decide to believe it.

But even the selfish assholes are people, and their health impacts all of ours.

We are a society.
This idea permeating modern thought that's as much a virus as covid: that we are nothing but an association of individuals.

But we're a society. We're connected. It's not optional. The virus knows even if we don't.

A decision to not get vaccinated isn't a personal decision.

I really think we need to start treating people who vote for Republicans as if they were the sort of people who come over to your house and leave a shit in the sink.
Oh how sad that you would shun a friend over a small political difference like taking a shit in your sink and leaving it there.
Oh so you just call people who shit in your sink “sink shitters” over politics, very divisive, you’re the real problem.

Maybe the most pernicious thing to happen to modern society is letting people think “doing your own research” into complex subjects equates to “critical thinking.”

Every aviators baseball hat goatee whiteboy discovered flat earth theory videos and thinks he’s the new Galileo.
It isn’t the hidden menu at in and out, it’s global viral epidemiology, Chad, maybe just eat your fries animal style and listen to the smart people and shut the fuck up, you haven’t discovered a new truth you’re just experiencing gas.
You aren’t Leonardo Da Vinci, Bryce. You run marketing for your dad’s landscaping company. You haven’t thought of something that Dr. Fauci hasn’t. Consider getting stuck underneath something heavy for a few months.

I'm running out of ways to say that the people engaged in it should be prosecuted and their platforms should be permanently shuttered.

FOX News should not exist. There is no reason for it to be permitted to exist. It's not a first amendment issue.
If what Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Alex Berenson, and others are doing is free speech then me altering road signs into optical illusions that make people drive off of cliffs is free speech.
If what Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Alex Berenson, and others are doing is free speech then me putting Kool-Aide labels on antifreeze containers and leaving them in elementary schools is free speech.

Bullshit.

I have family members all the way up the Fox News Facebook misinformation hole, and they didn’t get vaccinated because they felt respected; they got vaccinated because their children told them they wouldn’t get to see their grandchildren until they got vaccinated.
3 observations:

People don't tend to change their worldviews from a place of comfort.

When selfish assholes decide to behave like selfish assholes, the problem isn't that others aren't coddling their feelings enough.

Selfish assholes aren't everyone else's job to fix.
Selfish assholes would love for you to *think* they are everybody else's job to fix.

It puts them at the center and in control.

That means when they act like a selfish asshole, it's *your* fault. You should have been more persuasive. Daddy hits you because you made him angry.
