Freedom Day

Yukaphile is just trying to impress his senpai Clearspira. He's a lost cause.

I'm not fond of the masks either but I will wear them, I have seen what Covid has done to people I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The sad part is that you, the alleged independent thinkers, can't see you're being targeted to hate exactly the subclassing of people the overlords want you to hate. I've heard of brawls and fistfights breaking out over mask usage, those who abstain and those who still use it. If you think that's NOT by design to keep the peons divided in perpetual class warfare, then I don't know what to tell you. No, I was never a fan of Sanders because he was never the common working man he spun himself as (owns three homes and still wears a rumpled suit, lol,), so let me just disavow that before I sound like I'm jumping onto the Sanders 2024 train. And you know, I'm fairly confident that enough hysteria will propel you all to vote for candidates you absolutely DESPISE next year AND in 2024 merely because this side has told you the Republicans are the bogeyman they use to get your support. I'm growing tired of it since I think hate is all that's sustaining America now. And I'm disappointed because I really did love the Democrats for a long time, not just as the lesser of two evils. But I think I've fallen out of their camp and more into being an Independent. But it's kinda telling you're falling for the histrionics, like calling clearspira a filthy Republican even though he's not even American. How is it NOT moral puritanism when even people who have been vaccinated aren't enough to quell the ire of your demands for "YE MASK YOURSELFE, DAMNED IT!!!!11" Society can't be locked up forever, and after a year in RK Outpost's server, it's hard to disagree that what might have started out as reasonable precautions and a little bit of political ammo rapidly become a narcotic to the power ghouls at the top that they just can't let go now. They've tasted the power they haven't had in a long time, and they are desperate to keep it. Laugh at me all you want. Like I care. Just makes me regret returning back here. It's really a problem when liberals don't meat the purity litmus test merely for rejecting political correctness and the liberal orthodox view.

Like, you give me one damned good reason I should REALLY care about trying to watch out for seven billion idiots on this planet nobody likes sharing with each other. Frankly, while COVID deaths are tragic, the population's been in decline for several years now, and that's a good thing. We need less people, we need less idiots, we need to focus more on what we've built and keep tending to it and building on that for the future. Not just for infrastructure and economic reasons, but environmental ones. Less people offers more opportunities at this level in human evolution. Yet they still panic about a baby bust anyway. Human beings are so fuckin' goofy, man. I can't keep up with this shit. Just hand me the black pill. I've given up on my species.

We get it, you’re a sociopath.

Funny thing is that the virus doesn’t care about politics, but so many are trying to politicize it as an attack on “freedom”. Lol, okay bro.

[Yukaphile]

And you're a good little toady to the ruling overlords even though you pretend not to be.

Maybe if people gave more of a REASON to care about others, masks wouldn't be so hard to wear, would they? But when the constant media narrative is nonstop cynicism and negativity and sensationalist yellow journalism, people don't really see much of the good in others. It's just designed to make us suspicious, angry, and distrustful of one another. Yeah, well, good job, assholes. You've made us a country of bullies, with rising crime and huge social woes, so how were you so shocked when we put a bully in the White House? You got EXACTLY what you were asking for. They know nothing.

Really. Shouldn't be so hard to care about me, should it? If by the one-in-a-million shot, someone doesn't wear a mask 'roundabout me, I contract, I die, it's not like there's some great loss there, is it, then? So you have no reason to care about anyone. Except if it makes you feel better, then that's great. And that's not sarcasm, I do think it's great. But I find it so ironic and hilarious you just wave off the reverse to that, people's libertarian right to ditch a mask because you can NEVER legislate morality, especially that infringes on personal boundaries and people's personal comfort zones, yet that's what we're doing. You just want to make yourselves feel superior. THAT'S the real crux of the issue here, or you'd care about people's emotional well-being, not just their physical health. And you wouldn't treat the anti-masker camp as some kinda sinful enemy monster, just PEOPLE with legitimate and opposing viewpoints dedicated and willing to stand for their side, as you should yours. Because loneliness, depression, AND suicide has risen proportionally with lockdowns and mask mandates. The long-term effect to our national psyches can only be guessed at, however, if you're going to throw the numbers of people who die due to No Masks TM for shock factor, then one could legitimately counter that with people who ended their own lives due to the confining sterility of social isolation the masks AND lockdowns gave us. They exist. And that's the thing - WE DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS YET, DO WE? I doubt we will for years, but the politicians love that since they can continue doing what they do best, looking out for number one. Really, though, who cares. At the rate things are going, we'll wipe ourselves out. Just relax and enjoy the show. After all, can you really expect anything more? We're human.

[Yukaphile]

No, really, everyone on this board just fuckin' hates each other, I'd almost forgot how toxic it was. I really wish there was an option to just permanently nuke my account. No regrets.

[sayla0079]

We don't all hate each other we just have different opinions, yes they can get crazy doesn't mean everyone on here hates one another.

I only hated two entities in this forum.

Now it’s three.
