yeah, thank youwhat a fucking ridiculous assertion to make. just the anxiety and stress alone from living in the total shit hole of a country i (and i assume you too) are living in , will give me some kind of chronic illness i think. i cant count the nuumber of issues ive started having after this nightmare began and i never stop thinking about how they wouldnt even be there if i were literally anywhere sane and that generally tends to respect human life over capital
fuck this place fuck it so hard every day i find myself fantasizing about some cool new action video game coming out, in which another 9/11 happens (involving just politicians and capitalists and etc....all fictional obviously)
im so fucking over this goddamn fucking shit fucking garbage fucking place
Seriously. I’ve somehow managed to avoid catching covid yet, but just the anxiety I have constantly about this has probably taken years off my life. My mental health was at a peak when the pandemic hit and earlier this year I checked into a psych hospital.
The basic fact that not only has my government at best abandoned me and at worst tried to kill me, even the people around me every day don’t seem to care about my or anyone else’s wellbeing, and it’s fucking devastating.
lucky you (not catching it).. im sorry you also can understand where im coming from though because the last few years it basically has felt like someones runnign the "hell simulator" on my consciousness from somewhere. i hope you are doing better after the psych hospital, coincidentally i had just come out of an inpatient setting that i had been in for like 2.5 months, when those first covid articles popped up (like the cusp of 2019/2020). ive had it twice and my mental state definitely feels worse, and whether or not its directly from the covid hardly even matters as its the way my mind has been functioning throughout the last year or two (this is after both of the infections).. im so just, for real, i cant believe anyone on this site is arguing that we need to just accept "this" essentially.... like why are you even a socialist (or anarchist) then? its just disappointing to be honest
im really sorry you can relate though :-/ im just going to send good vibes your way, hope we both get through this shit (and i mean this word relatively, extremely relatively) unscathed :anarchy-heart:
Yeah, most people here don't know Chinese people who actually have to live through zero-Covid. From my experience, only retirees are actually supportive of the policies with everyone else at best tolerating it for the sake of the more vulnerable. Yes, living in a depraved society that's trying to pretend Covid isn't real is a dystopian nightmare, but the million dollar question is do Chinese people realize that zero-Covid is preferable to a society that has given up on Covid?
This is the classic tailist vs commandist problem that all orgs have to face. We all know the science about what society ought to do to combat Covid. But what happens when that society
doesn't fully see the merit of zero-Covid? Like, do people here honestly believe zero-Covid would've been possible in any Western society that prioritizes personal freedom over collective health even if that society were socialist? Unless that society's socialist party just straight up enforces martial law and drops the hammer on protesters and people who break quarantines, no Western society, socialist or capitalist, has the popular mandate to enforce zero-Covid, certainly not a zero-Covid that's projected to last for years.
Fortunately, China is not of the West and various precautions like wearing surgical masks have long being normalized before Covid. But their patience isn't gonna last forever. Like, no present human society, not even China, is going to tolerate living under zero-Covid conditions for more than a decade.

Yeah, I just live in the alternative where I’m terrified of catching a disease that will permanently debilitate me every time I leave my door.
I would shoot someone to live under zero covid. I would happily take that forever than this hellish nightmare forever

Occasional government enforced lockdowns along with widespread testing and tracking that makes it unlikely you’ll get covid?
Or frequent self-inflicted lockdowns out of fear because of sky-high covid rates and also still catching covid?
I know which one I’ll fucking take
