See, that's the problem, like my wife, you'll complain about it, but you won't actually really fight to DO anything about it. Humanity is facing down the greatest evil in history, and most people are like deer in headlights who can't even lift a finger to fight back.

I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but at least I worked loopholes hard during Covid times and went as against the grain as I could. And in doing so probably helped pull a small handful of semi-thinking people with me. It wasn't much, but at least it did something. Wife just bemoaned "when can I stop wearing a mask at the grocery store, I hate this." I told her whenever you're ready, but she never caught on.

If it takes being a monster to destroy the monsters, then frankly, so be it. It's still better than letting the monsters just overrun us all, and I have yet to hear anyone with a better explanation. "Human connection?" I just told you, no way in hell am I ever going to connect with the evil bastards who did this to the world, nor their all-too-willing-and-eager accomplices. I spent 20+ years trying to find some kind of peace with them and I can tell you from painful repeated personal experience, IT DOES NOT F***ING EXIST. Every last one of them would kill you where you stand to gain even one millimeter of what they desire, if they thought for a second they could get away with them. In their eyes, if you aren't Borg, you are too be assimilated or destroyed.

One of them I knew - wife's longtime friend - was a hardcore masker, jabber, Xiden voter. I got into a huge screaming match with her over it once. Well she later got fired for disciplining the kids at the school she worked at. It was something pretty tame of her - I can't imagine any rational person objecting - but she was white, they were black, and the anti-racist brigade chewed her up and spit her out. She complained about it, but she STILL could not see how she played a part in her own comeuppance. Because Orange Man Bad or something. And hey, orange man not great, orange-man just suck ever so slightly less than CCP Xiden, Authoritarian with Vaxx Exception RFK Jr, and woketarian Chase. If even the weak-sauce lamester Gary Johnson were running again I wouldn't vote orange man, but at this point, I've had it. Everything is awful, so we might as well punch the crybullies right back in their stupid faces, if only for lack of any better options.
