the government spent a great deal of time and money instilling irrational fear into susceptible people and now it can't get them to turn it off to the detriment of the economic recovery. we used to recognize certain behaviors as mental illnesses- phobias of germs, of going outside, of breathing the air. fanatical hand washing, overuse of sterilizing sprays. men believing that they can get pregnant.

if you had these problems and they interfered with your normal life- your ability to hold down a job or a relationship, to eat in a restaurant or attend theater- you got help!

now, the rest of the world is expected to humor you, never sneeze in public, never touch you with a handshake or god forbid, a kiss. be forced to take an endless round of ineffective and probably harmful booster shots so you can feel "safe." memorize a specific set of pronouns and different rules of grammar for every psychotic nut job who identifies as something that doesn't actually exist in reality.

my sister in law in NY suggested to my brother that it was time to get back to normal life and see a broadway show. she bought the tickets. everyone in or near the theater was double vaxxed (oh the good old days when being fully vaccinated for covid-19 meant only 2 shots) and masked.

during the first act- in the dark!- she started to notice that some audience members did not have their impermeable masks surgically attached to their faces and there might be a little leakage of- god forbid- GERMS!!!!!

as soon as the lights came up for intermission, she fled the theater and went home. my brother stayed and enjoyed the show. when he got home- and i'm surprised she let him back in their apartment without a few dozen negative tests- she announced that she was done with theater! this person is ruined for life!

i should mention that during the lock downs,my brother took advantage of the NY ghost town and went on 5 hour long bike rides all over manhattan while his wife when out 3 times, always wrapped up in a burka, several masks, plastic face shield, goggles, gloves, sleeve guards, you name it. for all i know, she burned her clothes after each near death exposure.

and yet this person thinks that her behavior is normal and that my brother is too casual in his approach.

has she never had a flu before? does she feel entitled to never have one again? i fear that's the problem. the CDC, etc has convinced people that The Science can promise us all a life free from any sickness if only we all comply with their absurd edicts and those of us who refuse are prolonging this hell on earth and keeping the good obedient people from reaching their utopia.

These people are actual psychopaths at this stage. I really can't see them any other way. Consider how sick it is to view your fellow human being as nothing more than a disease vector in September 2022.

This is not about rationality anymore, this is about who has the power to force the other.
