  • Yes I wear a mask when I’m indoors away of my home. I do this for the safety of myself, my family, and others. And you should too. And you should be advocating for others to do the same if they can.

    A better world is possible. One where we treat communicable illnesses as something to mitigate/eradicate. It is morally right to protect others, the indigent, the youth, the imfirmed, the vulnerable. Wearing a mask indoors while away from your home when there is an ongoing pandemic, one that causes systematic harm to the body and immune system, is the least you can do. Each COVID infection is a roll of the dice. It’s a chance for mutation in a disease that is known for mutation. If you feel personally inconvenienced by a mask then you should reconsider a lot of things. Accepting disease as simply part of life is uninformed. It denies that we live in a global, interconnected community. It is as fatalistic as accepting the unending supremacy of capital. That myopic view has no place in class consciousness. The pandemic is without question the fault of the owner class. They rely on our complacency, accepting preventable death whether by war, climate, or disease.








  • That’s a good point.

    I can see how comments like MaxOS’s and mine can be interpreted that way. Despite the fact that Taylor Swift’s fanbase contains both adults and children, it’s not fair to paint her fans, particularly her fans who are women, as childish. It’s also unfair to kids too. I’m an elementary school teacher. I see kids do and say the most incomprehensible things everyday. But it doesn’t mean adults should make fun of their interests either. (I don’t mean to say that the interests of women and children are the same. Just that both groups don’t deserve belittling based on what music they like.)

    I don’t like being compared to a misogynist but thanks for pointing it out.

    Huh? You want this cabbage? No no no, it’s 30 seconds past due. It spent several days if not weeks being perfectly edible in a shipping container and will continue to be edible for at least a few more days, but we have to incinerate it.

    I’m more forgiving of TDKR because of the League of Shadow’s previously stated goals. Funny how we’ll never get a movie where a bourgeois revolution is orchestrated by the bad guys.

    But yeah the Flag Breakers in the Falcon show are given the classic liberal treatment of “their ideas are good, but their methods are wrong, and it’d never work anyway!”
