the “I have been asked to sacrifice some part of my own lifestyle for the public good” -> “I have gone Full Fash” pipeline claimed basically the whole VC set, every tech executive, and the entire centrist pundit class

The number of Preppers who'd built their entire personality out of surviving Arma-fucking-geddon only to lose their everloving shit at not being able to dine out or get haircuts was certainly relevatory.

"I can absolutely stay inside and not go to restaurants and wear a mask and *wash my hands*¹. That'll it take to kill this thing? A weekend? A long weekend?" ¹ the reaction/visible evidence that people just...hadn't been...well, that was my first indicator that we were likely fucked

In Hungary, there used to be a very successful fitness trainer who went bankrupt after COVID but during COVID he claimed you can't wear a mask because tiny works swim on the inside causing the infection

HP Lovecraft was wrong; what drove people mad wasn't encountering incomprehensible horrors outside time and space - it was not being able to go to Applebee's for a few months.

WONT there be wailing and gnashing of teeth when they have their lifestyles arbitrarily and completely canceled by the climate crisis? And nobody to sue over it But no doubt those who tried to raise the alarm WILL get the blame

One of the weirdest op eds was chastising people for not going to restaurants during the omnicron wave. People felt so crummy that they canceled their dinner reservations and got take out. This was an affront

Folks in rural Alberta had to wear a mask and wait in line to get into Costco and that led many of them to suggest that Justin Trudeau should go in front of a firing squad.

We’ve been sold fantasies about our boomer parents and grandparents sacrificing everything without complaint when in reality it’s always like this. There were antimask mobs and crazy backlash during the Spanish flu. We’re bad people who have been lied to constantly about how great we are.

The fash are loud but they aren't as numerous as they like to pretend. And something like 75% of them are 40+. Buy a rifle, get to know your neighbors, and organize.

And the US didn’t even lock down! We closed places, but you could leave your house. ITALY locked down. CHINA locked down. We did not do so, but all the mask-aggrieved will say we did forever and punish us for not wanting to be even sicker.

Yeah, I found it interesting that basically everyone I knew who'd had a Depression-era poor relative they liked did fine, and everyone who'd been rich forever just broke. I made bread and masks for my neighbors and took up quilting; they went Nazi.

I've had the extreme displeasure of interacting with VCS, and honestly, they are worse than a let of hedge fund managers and employees. I'm serious. They are so full of libertarian "I did it all myself" bs that I'm surprised it doesn't roll down Sand Hill Rd.
