I remember my brother suffering from depression because he just no way of getting out of his apartment
I remember people people dying and not being able to go meet/help them
I remember the working class suffering because they just couldn't work
I am not blaming anyone but it wasn't "singing and dancing" for most people except the most privileged
The ‘most privileged’ we’re throwing ‘Covid parties’. They were the ones pushing ahead in line for limited vaccines. They were the ones out at ski resorts while sick. They were the ones who denied Covid but went out and got Covid and then demanded treatment, putting more than necessary pressure on a limited and very strained emergency system.
I don’t think the home bodies are your enemy here.
Nah I don't think anyone is the enemy really, but it certainly wasn't a very comfortable experience, for myself at least I think that the lockdowns gave everyone a kind of deep empathy for how society can breed a prison mentality at a large scale
Whether it's to uphold a certain system in society, e.g. drug war, propaganda or to prepare to engage in a hot war or simply to spread a cult dogma, there's a huge Stockholm syndrome experience for everyone who is born into a society or complex system as a whole
Quarantine was a tough time for large majority people in my country
Everyone wasn't dancing and making bread at home.
Thats all.
Noted. Still not an excuse to misuse words like ‘privlege’ just so you can start a fight with someone who isn’t your enemy.
What are you going on about enemies?
I just found the post insensitive.
