    The ‘most privileged’ we’re throwing ‘Covid parties’. They were the ones pushing ahead in line for limited vaccines. They were the ones out at ski resorts while sick. They were the ones who denied Covid but went out and got Covid and then demanded treatment, putting more than necessary pressure on a limited and very strained emergency system.

    I don’t think the home bodies are your enemy here.

      Nah I don’t think anyone is the enemy really, but it certainly wasn’t a very comfortable experience, for myself at least I think that the lockdowns gave everyone a kind of deep empathy for how society can breed a prison mentality at a large scale

      Whether it’s to uphold a certain system in society, e.g. drug war, propaganda or to prepare to engage in a hot war or simply to spread a cult dogma, there’s a huge Stockholm syndrome experience for everyone who is born into a society or complex system as a whole

      Quarantine was a tough time for large majority people in my country

      Everyone wasn’t dancing and making bread at home.

      Thats all.

        Noted. Still not an excuse to misuse words like ‘privlege’ just so you can start a fight with someone who isn’t your enemy.
