I don’t have to talk nice to such people anymore. Hundreds of thousands of people are going to die in this country because of a deranged right-wing way of thinking that devalues society and the general well being - all for the fetishization of individualism. If you are some kind of Christian who can’t be bothered to understand this… Well, I hope the God you believe in is far more forgiving than I am. This is not a simple matter of “it’s just an opinion” or “let’s agree to disagree.” I have no fucks to give to that bullshit. I’m holding you to a higher standard because if you know me, chances are excellent that you’ve seen other things I’ve posted here or on Facebook. If you are of the mindset that your liberty and freedom is more important than doing the right thing, then you are a killer, and I want nothing to do with you. I don’t care if you are a friend or a family member. Of course, if they get sick and come into contact with 300 other people during that time, they will kill three other people because of their selfishness and inhumanity to others. They feel like they have a 99% chance of surviving if they should somehow get sick, and they are comfortable with those odds. Their selfishness and preschool-level understandings of rights, freedom, and civic responsibilities and duties is getting other people killed - and the worst part is that they don’t care. Well, I just don’t have it in me anymore to attempt to be understanding or talk civilly to people like that. It’s all about them, and fuck everyone who doesn’t agree with them. They don’t give the tiniest shit about the health and well-being of others or society as a whole. Everyone understood that not chipping in and doing what was right likely meant putting lives at risk.īut, now… Well, according to the current deranged logic being spouted by the John Birch Society, Tea Party, Libertarian, (somehow) the Christian right, and whackadoodle GOP crowd, freedom is all that matters, and if they don’t get what they want they are going to march on state capital building while proudly bearing their arsenals in an effort to intimidate and scare everyone else in an effort to get what they want. Industries were nationalized, taxes were raised, lights out curfews enforced in coastal cities, rationing was common, and people sacrificed because it was understood that there was a greater good. Each time one of them starts bleating about their rights, freedom, and bringing the economy back, all I hear is incredibly narcissistic, overly-entitled, short-sighted whining.īack in World War II, when this country last faced a serious crisis, we did whatever it took to win. I have had it with right-wingers in this country, and I despise nearly every single one of them. I am done with maintaining even a thin veneer of civility.
