here's the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.

you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.

this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.

      You can go outside without spreading covid. It is in fact harder to catch covid outside than inside. Even at the height of covid you were allowed to have a bubble of people which you met with. None of the things in the post is in conflict with being safe about covid.

        you copy/pasting this everywhere doesn't make posts like this - that give zero consideration to the existence of covid - not suck shit

        particularly since both of these dogshit posts have occurred during a massive covid spike

          I typed it out by hand. It's also true, so I don't quite see the issue

          You know what, I hadn't considered that viewpoint. I'm sorry.

        It is infinitely easier to catch covid outside with other people than inside my house where no one who has ever had covid has ever set foot

        Even at the height of covid you were allowed to have a bubble of people which you met with.

        At the height of covid you were allowed to go to superspreader parties if you wanted to, no one ever stopped you. What is this stock chud argument supposed to get across? You're allowed to do whatever you want and I will continue to criticize you for it and push back against you when you try to bully other, more careful people into spreading covid

          Which is why I said outside, rather than "with other people".

          You are putting words in my mouth again. I did not say "you can go to parties and meet strangers no problemo". I said you can meet people and still be responsible, and I used the "bubble" as an example of this.

            What the hell does going outside alone and not meeting any other people have to do with this post? Are you lost?

                Meaning, go out to holiday parties. That's what the post is about.
