      The virus being a range of sociopathic beliefs and behaviour justified as “conservatism”.

            THANK YOU! I keep fucking saying it’s the damn lead. (And other shit, like microplastics in the water, etc) it makes people unable to think rationally.

              Yeah, I agree. PFAS, lead, carbon monoxide, microplastics, all the pollutants. It would be naive to think these things don’t impact the mental capacity of the globe as a whole.

          I think it is more about too much centralizati and the power that results that leads to corruption no matter the intentions or political system.

      Yes, but he’s also the disease personified and amplified into a real life supervillain. And the world doesn’t have a superhero to stop him.

        I “know” this is a metaphor, and I’m being a wet blanket about it, but I’m saying it anyway. There is no super hero to save anyone from anything, much less a society circulating the drain. The only way to make things better is by getting organized with your friends, family, and neighbours.

        Be prepared (collectively) when things go to shit, and actively try to make them better. You can do very little alone, but together the choice is no longer between Hitler and Hitler, it’s change or stagnation. And neither genocide Joe or Cheetos man will lead to any positive progress.

        Okay, no more wet blanket…
