vent, rage, implicit violence
this decade is determined to disabuse me of my last shred of conviction that it's never ok to kill people just for being dangerously and arrogantly stupid
i just don't have it in me to root for these people to survive anymore, we have more important things to worry about
i tried, i really tried. i used to be such a postmodernist and worked so hard to find the validity in other people's beliefs and assume that mine weren't objectively true, but there's a certain level of JESUS CHRIST NO, THAT'S *CLEARLY* JUST WRONG that is apparently past my limit
i still wish we could save or fix these people but the time and resources just aren't there and honestly i'm not even sure everybody on "my side" is worth it, best i can offer the world is withdrawing and letting these crazy fuckers work it out for themselves

(the above rant was triggered by people on Birdsite asserting that "coronavirus" appearing on last year's disinfectant labels was proof that the epidemic is a big Fake News hoax, without doing the FIVE DAMN MINUTES of research necessary to understand coronavirus is a classification. i'm even braced for some of them to start doubling down at me for my debunking efforts, which started off so polite and just got worse and worse as i wallowed through more "checkmate, liberals!" kind of so-proud-to-be-wrong attitudes. i just can't cheer for these people to remain a part of the human prospect, i'm sorry, maybe someday i'll regain that capacity.)

@Phorm It's not even worth pulling out the evidence 19 is the year, is it. I mean, I know it's not. I've been there. *hug*
Remind me sometime to tell you the story of how our right-wing nutcase coworker Dolores asked @acetone_kitten what a "666 Matrix" is... and how I got revenge by (accidentally but unrepentantly) convincing her honey was poisonous.

@zebratron2084
I sympathize greatly with you.
Recently my step-mother has been railing against all protective measures. Mostly because she's an utter moron, but also because she's hateful. But her ignorance managed to eclipse everything else when she dropped this bomb on me:
"It's COVID-19! We survived the LAST 18 times this happened just fine!!!!"
*Headdesks so hard she shatters the entire piece of furniture.*
