Hi there my fellow inmates, time to learn in prison, not want to bust out, because the rules of quarantee say we should all value our individual freedom over the rules of social safety and pandemic aversion. Patriotism is not best served when flaunting a contempt for science; our constitution is not best served when doing things that will lead to more deaths and heartache. Being an asshole who doesnt care about others will not lead to more freedom--ever. Please stay the course until we have better measures for testing and tracing; if there are too many sick people, some will have to die alone without treatment in a very troubling scenario indeed...
Looks like those protests that are "breaking out" are very similiar to the tea party ones, though I doubt the American people are stupid enough to want to ignore critical healthcare information and practice because rich people are tired of losing money, and a famous conspiracy theorist has another home he is eyeing. Who gives a shit what the ideologically driven and greed obsessed think about either science of morality? They are the movers and shakers of the lying part of the American Dream, and the fact they arent dust yet, speaks legions about how friendly some are to the people who stoke their biggest fears and loudest paranoias. We have always been a fear-driven populace, but perhaps this time sobriety will win out. Note I say perhaps...
I guess it's a great hope for America that so many are called by their own conscience to help in crisis; people who seem flailing for purpose understand the dire circumstances and step-up in ways that truly do seem super-heroic. But from 9=11 to now, it seems once the black sea of doom starts retreating, many if not all, return to previous ways, not always due to the fact they have forgotten the suffering and sacrifice, but simply because the overall orientation of our society is to the consumer purpose, and the nuclear family myth. We still live in a world of fiction that is more reactive than proactive; and reality won't come out on our side forever as we forget natures rebellion, and act like we rule our fate forever,without any blowback from 40 years of anti government rhetoric and rebellion by the mass wealthy.
The relatively poor have stepped up in a lot of wars, and they will have to step up again. I guess the moral victory shouldn't be construed as nothing, but the moral victory won't pay the bills...
