Used to be, if you saw someone at work, school or outside a medical setting wearing a mask, you knew there was something wrong with them. They were being used the "right" way: an attempt to prevent healthy people from getting the germs of a really sick person if the sick person had to go out. They were not for healthy people to have to wear around each other.
Wife is a preschool teacher and just heard they're going back in-person but first have to go over all the mask-wearing propaganda to the kids and "have them understand why they have to wash hands all the time, and wear a mask". I suppose you're going to tell 3 and 4 year olds they can't sit next to their friends and have to stay at their desks with plexiglas boxes around them too? good luck.
It's disgusting. The BOE is requiring the parents to view these propaganda song-and dance videos with their kids to "normalize" wearing masks. This shit isn't ever going to end now. Even after "corona" is gone, they will just make mask wearing commonplace because of irrational fear of any other germs from common cold to flu or whatever else.
Ah yes, your insult of "doomer" has such a great track record on this site. Instead of listening to logic and preparing for the reality at hand you grasp at utopian solutions that keep failing in the real world. It's called being prepared, which you know, would actually be a good thing during an emergency? It's as if you think people can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. You can both want for the system that is corrupt to collapse and also want to prime the new system to replace it. Gosh, and I don't have intellect? All I can say is... best of luck to ya.
So what do you do to work in your local community?
Your original post was giving up all hope on making any change. Your attitude is useless.
Well for starters, I work in government. As I said, I'm doing what I can under the circumstances and working from within the system.
And my original post said "It must be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up." I honestly don't think you can change the course things are on, you can only prepare for what's to come. Can that come across as doomerish? Sure. But, if you prepare yourself for what's to come then you'll be ready to apply that change while everyone else is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. And I can't help how someone reads my comments 🤷♂️ The web ain't that great at carrying subtle context in how something is spoken.
What needs to be destroyed exactly? The power grid? Congress blown up? What are your guys' actual plans
This "collapse" rhetoric is always wrapped in abstractions and never given any specifics.
Everyone should be armed and trained, that's a base level of preparation. Other than that this whole doomer talk only serves to discourage the less capable among us.
Either provide specifics, do something locally, or stfu with the useless emotions.
Now you're just being obtuse... you can reference any number of real world examples to know what's bound to happen in a collapse. The first and foremost is the economic collapse which I already spoke of. That's going to happen one way or another, it's a ticking time bomb that can't be disarmed. And your own mind jumped right into physical warfare thoughts... I at no point mentioned anything regarding taking out the power grid or killing congress. You can destroy stuff by ripping up a piece of paper, saying no more, and starting your own local level education system. But let me guess, you want specifics on how to make that happen too? 🤦♂️
