Deep down, I know that the US is evil and will not do anything to stop COVID. But I fucking hate when people talk so casually about it. I don’t give a fuck how “mild” it is. I don’t fucking want it. You should be pissed off and tired that the government is throwing you to the dogs - but no. It’s just a passive shrug. I wouldn’t care as much if I lived by myself, but I live with people who interact with idiots who don’t take precautions because of ego. Fucking hate this shit.
I know the word gets overused to the point of absurdity, bit it almost feels like gaslighting. Every time I talk to my (:LIB:) parents, I feel like I'm going insane. I'll talk about how Omicron being slightly less deadly doesn't matter if more people get it, and they just sort of look at me blankly. And then 2 months later I'm proved right, and I bring it up, and they just ignore me.
Yeah my dad keeps telling me we should be done with covid because people are tired of it. Like that's nice, I'm also tired of it. Doesn't mean I want more people to be killed by it
