Maybe the way to stop the pandemic is to stop acting like we’re out of the pandemic and the problem to solve is people acting like we’re in a pandemic, and to finally start acting like we’re in a pandemic and the problem to solve is THE FUCKING PANDEMIC WE’RE IN.
What if our leaders started acting like the pandemic and the fascists trying to exacerbate it for political gain were what they are, namely threats on the level of a World War, and acted accordingly, what then.
Trying to imagine a newspaper headline talking about “a post-WW2 world” the day after Pearl Harbor. That’s the mentality we’ve been dealing with.
We can’t get over the thing that’s still happening while you’re still making sure it will keep happening, you monstrous ghouls.
As your governor I vow to end this unprofitable life-saving solution immediately.
Where I Live, Nobody Cares About Anybody But Themselves
I’m from West MI and I can attest that the proud lack of regard for human life is quite normal here. 800,000 have died in the US—1 in 100 elderly. Schools and hospitals here are near the breaking point. He says caring makes you out of touch.
The Atlantic should be ashamed.
He should be ashamed, too, but he won’t be. He fully expects to not only be permitted to go on sharing his community’s selfish degeneracy, but to be preferentially accommodated. He thinks caring is for urban snobs.
In the 1950s and 60s, municipalities started to integrate their public swimming pools, in part due to legal mandates, in part because of the fact that segregation is cruel and unjust, and people have always known that, no matter what people say now about “a different time.”
So, municipalities—whether voluntarily or not—made public spaces available to everybody. A simple thing. A good thing. The right thing.
What happened was this: white people violently rioted.
The fascist, white supremacist political party Republican that works nearby is trying to end abortion rights, marriage equality, the struggle against institutionalized racism and poverty, and any hope of an equal, pluralistic modern society.
You can laugh at these pathetic men, and probably you should, but you should also realize that the most powerful political party in our country, seemingly able to control public policy in or out of power, with 35%-40% support, acts primarily to support their point of view.
Here's what I want people to understand about the marching Nazis:
They believe society is the preferential property of white people above all others. They are supremacists.
Our political and social systems are oriented to accommodate their point of view.
