Oh and another point..... Joe, you are vaccinated. So why are you worried about anti vaxxers at venues?
That makes no sense. If anyone should worry it's the people going out to venues without a vaccine. They are the ones accepting the risk of a Covid infection.
What are YOU worried about, Joe? That YOU will spread it to them? Wear an N95. Problem solved.
Dovey I don't even trust the fully vaccinated at those events either.
And that Pfizer vaccine us the shits.
It doesn't work very well.
So if you put infected people vaxxed or non vaxxed inta the same room together they're all gonna get sick one and the same.
But to shut these unsafe events down period so no one can go. That way no one feels deprived because we're all equally deprived.
Really?
We should shut down everything because of a virus?
So people should be prisoners and not allowed to live their lives because of viruses?
Well you even noted that the number of deaths has not declined over last year.
Yeah so doesn't it occur to you that it's not business as usual?
Things are not normal
We can't just do willy nilly like it was pre pandemic anymore.
World has changed and a new reality has been forced upon us.
I wish it wasn't true but unfortunately it is.
People die everyday from a ton of different issues
Why doesnt the government ban people from driving Joe?
I just dont understand wanting a panel of self interested sociopaths to manage my personal medical decisions or deciding who can do what. Why do you see the government like that? Like they are smarter and better at looking after you than you are?
I didn't follow government mandates Dovey.
Just my gut instincts.
I felt early in the Pandemic that the coronavirus was a Bioweapon hatched in a lab. Therefore I've since then taken the necessary precautions.
Even when the government said last year that it's safe to go out I didn't because I felt it wasn't time yet to let our guards down.
Sure enough the rising infections and deaths merely confirmed these assumptions.
I guess when people have not experienced hardship or near death situations they don't understand danger either. I have and I suppose that's why I understand dangerous situations and how to deal with them better.
We're living in a dangerous time. The Pandemic is a dangerous situation. Therefore you have to understand how to assess it & survive it.
That's the name of the game. SURVIVAL. Gotta come outta this COVID tunnel alive. In that regard this Pandemic is no different than any life threatening life and death situation.
I know this because I've been there before and I'm a survivalist. The weak & stupid die and only the smart strong AND Lucky survive.
Survival is the name of the game. It's not fair but people have to get used to it eh.
Survival looks different for everyone. So it's best for the government to provide info and suggestions and resources and leave the people to their business.
Nazi Germany was a rough time. So was Stalin. We dont need to walk down the totalitarian path over some virus.
Survival is keeping the balance of power.
Let me put it this way. Would you marry off your daughter to an abuser so he would "take care of her" even though shes capable of taking BETTER care of herself?
I personally left an abusive sham of a marriage where I was more of a prison than a human being. Sure my Bill's were paid and there wa as food and he had part ownership of his parents business. They have a hobby store that focuses on toy trains of all things. My ex introduced things like Warhammer. They all do surprisingly well of that business. I wouldnt have ever had to worry about money or anything.
But I wasnt allowed to hang out with my friends. Every single holiday was made miserable before it even started. Every single interaction we had with anyone came at the cost of a huge fight either before or after. He screamed at me in the car and drove off the expressway ramp towards the road all because evidently I was LOOKED AT while we were shopping. I may as well have worn a burka and it would have saved me a lot of stress.
I exhausted myself trying to make this raging fuckhead happy. I drove myself nuts trying to "decode" him and figure out how I should BE to please this person. And i was becoming a total stranger to myself and it DIDNT EVEN WORK anyway. And he was a cheater. He sabotaged my birth control to trap me with a pregnancy and while I was pregnant he CHEATED. With a fucking white trash ogre named Jamie who got drunk and peed on him all over his clothes because her bladder was "dropped" and she was only 22. Wtf.
So I wasnt allowed to work. Or have unsupervised visits with my friends or even my family members. I had to constantly watch everything I said or did.
All that drama and manipulation and abuse.....was it all worth it because I didnt have to be poor?
Fuck no. Never allow that power balance to tip. Ever. Its NEVER good for the one who gave up power. This stands true in all relationships. There has to be a proper balance of power and proper boundaries.
This is the SAME thing. Yeah the government will come and start deciding where you can go, curfews, whose business can run, what precautions we take. People will still get sick anyway only now our general quality of life is total shit because we have submitted to an abusive and dehumanizing entity that really only cares about its OWN interests.
Dont be foolish. You are perfectly capable of looking after yourself. You dont NEED another person to do for you what you can do for yourself. The government will never be a caring and loving parent or spouse. It will always be predominantly interested in itself and its optics and abusive to the individual. No amount of conformity will ever really be enough once you start down that path. Let your government demand a Covid shot? You've just given permission for ANY other demand. THINK about that long term "greater good" thing.
You have a particular fear of Covid, moreso than you do of other risks that you are statistically more likely to die from. Like a CAR WRECK. You know why? You dont get pumped with the same sort of messaging regarding car accidents.
You gotta be aware that here is the western first world countries we are VERY fucking pampered and mostly we can afford some emotional thinking and dumb decisions. You have never lived in an African village experiencing an Ebola outbreak. If you were talking right now to someone who HAS? You would start feeling very....very silly.
I'm not trying to degrade your concerns. It's a big deal to people who havent really lived through waves of death and actual poor medical care. But try to have a more global perspective here and think about how much power you should be giving up to a machine like government. Start really digging into what it's like to live under totalitarianism and imagine it. Because it CAN happen. It's all in those little steps and then suddenly its massive. So even a small thing like government coerced vaccines should not be tolerated at all.
I'm vaccinated and I'm not going to participate in no vaccine mandate bullshit showing proof to anyone. It's no ones gotdamn business what I shove in my body. Whether it's the Covid vaccine or Lotuses most skilled fingers.
We HAVE to defend our individual rights. It's not about feeling deprived. It's about an appropriate balance of power and boundaries.
Yo Reggie. You missed one of monster’s best meltdowns
