This is the price of accommodating the beliefs of selfish assholes drunk on their own exceptionalism and fever-dreams of rugged libertarianism.
Nor do I, but the issue isn’t about blame, the issue is about accommodating; treating the beliefs of the malicious and duped both as if they are valid and should be considered when making policy.
There is no way to accommodate the ignorance and selfishness of the pro-Covid crowd without treating the lives and dignity of healthcare workers—and everyone else—as disposable.

It’s time for consequences.

POLARIZATION AND STRIFE

Let me suggest something that might seem counterintuitive: We have rarely been *less* polarized as a country.

Am I saying we’re not polarized? Far from it. I’m saying we’re miscategorizing what polarization even is.

getrevue.co/profile/julius…
We’ve never been more polarized in most of our lifetimes, at least that’s the word.

"This polarization is tearing us apart,“ says the pundit to a nodding panel. "Cancel culture is out of control. We need to stop fighting ourselves, learn to build bridges to each other.”
*We* and *us* are such interesting words. They leave a trail; you can follow them back to the lair of their underlying assumptions.

“We have never been more polarized as a country,” for example, says something clear about who is considered a part of this country, and who is not.

Hey why not?

The stuff I did I was most pleased with in 2021, a thurd. 🧵
I had more fun that should be legal with questions generated by this weird AMA.
This one was just for me based on the response but it still makes me laugh so you have to read it again.

It really says something doesn’t it but every single one of these “open-minded” takes depends on a completely bananas misrepresentation of reality-based positions.

Nobody wants endless restrictions. We just want Covid to actually end; they don’t.
Their position is let’s just carry on as though Covid is over even though it isn’t, and whoever dies dies, and that will be acceptable losses.

That’s not a misrepresentation, that’s what they’ve been saying in just so many words from the very start.

The fuck out of here.
The idea that being in favor of both vaccines and preventative measures is an incoherent position is itself a position so incoherent, relying so much on the wholesale acceptance of the bad faith claims of malicious actors, it makes my eyes want to melt down my cheeks.

Actually he's not being attacked; they're just innocent jests.
My feeling on the conservative asshole who said the asshole conservative thing is, conservatives are presently working very hard to spread a deadly pandemic and end democracy in this country, in order to install an authoritarian dictator with a white supremacist agenda.
Never mind "Trumper," an ex-cop who self-describes as a "free-thinking American & follower of Jesus Christ" is easy shorthand for "biggest chowderhead asshole you can possibly imagine."

This has been the end of my commentary on this dumb discourse.

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.

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.

800,000 and counting.

The Atlantic should be ashamed.
