It’s honestly been fucking baffling watching people be like “I didn’t wear a mask during covid I ain’t wearing one now” like alright bro breathe that toxic smoke ig, you do you.
Like, at least with covid it wasn’t visible. The virus isn’t visible, you don’t show that you caught it till later, and sick and dying people usually aren’t super visible to the public. But this is smoke in the air!!! You can see it! When you breathe in it hurts! Immediately!
Have they come so far they now just completely disagree with the idea that it’s possible to filter the air you breathe? Are they about to start rejecting germ theory? Return to humoral theory?
It’s like some weird horseshoe theory thing where a group is well off enough in the imperial core that, generally speaking, they’re not usually affected by natural disaster, pandemic, societal unrest, whatever, that eventually they start believing it literally cannot affect them. And then like 100 million of them die of Covid.
Climate change is only a thing that affects poor countries
