A friend of mine actually made a really good observation about this coronavirus situation... that it's bringing out people's true nature. The hard working people want to keep working, the lazy people want to freeload. The stupid people believe illogical information and question nothing. Smart people are capable of digesting simple statistics and acting accordingly without being cavalier.

Man, that's good. I learned in the last few months that almost all of the people whom I considered friends weren't worth a damn. It's been a tough separation.

Heh, you're not the only one fam. 15 years being a punk rocker, playing the shows, hanging out with these people for a decade and a half. Now I'm a white supremacist. It's like none of that shit ever happened. Punks are literally the most shallow, retarded, ethos-less shits on the face of the planet. Look at the bright side pede, you and I now have a much more vibrant portrait of what it is we're dealing with. Can't put a price on insight. Just wait fam, when the storm clears and America comes together, we'll be able to look back at these shitty times and laugh. Hang in there pede 🇺🇸

BOOOOO! To Communism!

Johnny Rotten doesn't seem to have TDS:

He's also a hero for calling out Jimmy Savile wayyyyy before it was cool.

I'm not a huge fan of The Interrupters, but their singer is a Ron Paul supporter. Michael Graves (2nd Misfits singer) is also a conservative. The scene is littered with commies, but not all hope is lost. We are winning the culture war! Oi!

My punk rock friends became the dumbest Commies - way more than the hippy Karens.

Ignorance + Arrogance is a most destructive combination.

Thank you, great material!

The Ramones weren't commies either. Weird, it's like people knew back then culture and communism don't mix. Hmmm... P.S. Michael Graves, conservative or no, can go fly a kite for ruining the Misfits. Post Danzig Misfits are like, THE most awful thing I've ever heard 🤮. Dig up my ass you goofball poser 🖕Sorry, i LOATHE Michael Graves. Johnny Rotten is the MAN. Love that guy. I just found out he wrote a book, I gotta order that shit.

Well if it makes you feel any better... the person who I'm quoting above got way more red-pilled over this BS, and wasn't naturally that political beforehand.

Sorry to hear that buddy. Hopefully you can find some new good people. How old are you?

Without giving my age away, I'm closer to 40 than 20. Most of my friends moved away and we'd see each other once or twice a year. I lost a few friends when I got married and a couple more ghosted me when I had a kid. Now I've had a couple tell me that they lost all respect for me because I resisted the lockdowns. Others got angry because I didn't support BLM etc.

The only solace I have is that when you look at their SM it's all about buying new toys or Star Wars or Harry Potter. In fact, watching the HP nerds melt down has been one great part of 2020.

Exactly. When I see you don a mask and goggles just to open your front door for the Amazon guy, or get in your car and drive off with your mask on, I know that you are a democrat, a retard and likely a danger to my family if SHTF

iBelieveRobot 21 points ago +21 / -0

Oh my god, the people in their cars alone with masks on are the worst, hahaha.

chingchong_bigdong 5 points ago +5 / -0

have you ever seen those level 99 paladins with their full armor: gloves + mask + faceshield combo?

bruh you don't trust your own hygiene in your own car???!!!

iBelieveRobot 6 points ago +6 / -0

I think I did see some lady wearing a fucking full face shield once, haha. It practically looked like a welding mask. It's like we're living in someone's sci-fi universe.

or masked-up while out walking, jogging, or riding their bikes on a dedicated bike trail in blazing sunny weather with a nice breeze blowing

I just said this yesterday, when I see someone wearing a mask I consider them to be a Dem voter, most likely. And A LOT of people are wearing masks. Vote vote vote

Not always though.

I have an elderly family member at home with a variety of co-morbidities. His mind is 100% (and he is a huge Trump supporter, but those go hand in hand) but WuFlu would potentially be deadly for him.

So if I’m in a position where I can’t separate from strangers, I wear a N95 or better mask. Not to virtue signal or be a sheep. I’d be fine if I got the flu. But I could kill my father in law. And that I will not do if I can prevent it. He has always been there for me since I met him. I can do this little thing for him.

If I didn’t have him at home I would be nowhere near as careful. WuFlu would cost me 2 weeks of pay, not a big deal.

The difference is that you actually thought it through.

Some of us work for Dem voters, who made masks a condition of our employment.

iBelieveRobot 3 points ago +3 / -0

Yeah me too, haha, I feel the same way! It's basically a visual flag for a set of beliefs that all come together. When you see these people it always adds up perfectly, the kind of car they're driving, the clothes they're wearing, the sound of their voices, just the way they carry themselves. It's almost like the simple addition of the mask makes all these subdued qualities immediately clear.

There are also people like me who work with very old, at-risk populations. I never wear a mask outside despite the howls of the Marxists, but I do wear one in the stores or at work.

This is true. I've thoroughly learned that most of my co-workers and the people I went to high school with (and the teachers, with one exception...) are sheep who will listen to anything anyone else says. I swear, one of my co-workers sounds like he may not leave his house until the vaccine is available.

I dropped a low key truth nuke on a work meeting recently when I told them I'm pretty sure I had the virus and kicked its ass before it really could take hold.

I have a coworker who said she is not coming into work until a vaccine is ready. She is at risk you know, overweight, hypertension, asthma, and out of shape. So we have to change EVERYTHING for her to feel safe.

We have been working from home since mid March. I took the extra 2 hours a day that I save in travel time to add more exercise in and I am down 15 lbs and lean. I'm sure she put on the covid 15 plus.

Screw you and your lazy ass. open up the country and if YOU want to stay home then do it.

iBelieveRobot 12 points ago +12 / -0

Hahaha, I know right. I actually feel like I've been more productive than ever recently. If we were back in, say, the 19th century, we'd simply think it's a really tough year for the flu.

Yeah me too. I'm down about 20 pounds and have way more time to build.

mnguy12000 5 points ago +5 / -0

Keep it up! I had already been amassing a nice collection of Dumbbells before the prices skyrocketed. So i have them up to 50lbs. That to me is plenty

Good for you... because I mean like... isn't the official medical treatment for COVID to sit there and deal with it until it goes away? (People should know this by now)

5
txladyvoter 5 points ago +5 / -0

To try to find HCQ and deal with it.

iBelieveRobot 3 points ago +3 / -0

Haha, even better. But wait, the media told me that was an unfounded conspiracy theory, dangerously repeated by the president. I don't know if I should go near that stuff. In fact, I might die.

GodsHonestTruth 12 points ago +12 / -0

Dude I have a friendship that is starting to dissolve over this. I was talking in person to him and he was gaslighting me and calling me a conspiracy theorist. He buys the mainstream media narrative and is afraid to question authority. He also tried to make the argument for systemic racism and asked me if I’ve talked to a person of color about some bullshit.

Everything he said was MSM and Karen talking points and I really just don’t know if it’s gonna work out.

OneOfMany_MAGA 11 points ago +11 / -0

Never agree to any definition of racism that isn’t a simple “discrimination based on skin color.”

Every other definition is a convoluted bullshit lie designed to justify and promote overt racism against a disfavored group. These days, that disfavored group is those of primarily European ancestry.

I've lost a family member over this and another just dropped off in solidarity with her. You're not alone.

I wonder if I'll get to meet a pede or two in real life someday. That would be a great tradeoff!

6
iBelieveRobot 6 points ago +6 / -0

Yeah, I mean the same person would think it's super cool to "resist authority" ... well here's your fucking chance. I don't think I'm a radical person.... I'm not going to fucking go out and lick doorknobs and public toilets to prove I don't care about the coronavirus. But as stupid as those metaphors sound, the crap people are doing is equally insane and dramatic on the other end of the spectrum. Actions like wearing full face shields alone in your car. Refusing to see people. Shutting down entire segments of the economy, everywhere. That's how far we've come.

GodsHonestTruth 5 points ago +5 / -0

Good point. They only resist the authority they are told to. Like cops or Trump or whatever the MSM deems the enemy.
