It's just making me sad.

I've got folks in my Bacefook feed worshiping nurses and demanding that we open up right now. *sigh*

It used to be that you had to convince some gatekeeper, like when writing a letter to the editor, before you could share your thoughts publicly. The internet has dramatically lowered the barriers to publishing your thoughts. And lots of stupid people are finding their voice.

It sounds elitist but we need something like that. On the Cellar for instance there is usually someone willing to call us on our shit. We can't seem to do that on Zuckerberg's hot or not chick site.

Nurses, Doctors, cops and firemen are receiving hero hosannas right now.
A year ago and I suspect two years in the future, there was/will be bitching about their pay and benefits are too damn high.

The public is not fit to publish.

Didn't Trump say if we let all doctors and nurses die, then it would decrease the cost of Obamacare? If he didn't, it's just a matter of time before he does.

glatt · 05-08-2020, 04:18 PM

I'm no Trump supporter, but I think it's unlikely he will say that.

See, the Trump supporters worship the idea of doctors and nurses. They may get confused about how to show it when they don’t wear masks, but they legitimately value doctors and nurses, (and cops and firemen.) We know Trump plays to his base. He’s pretty good at it. It’s really unlikely that he’s going to attack the heros of his supporters.

You can't fix stupid, but you can unfollow its purveyors so it doesn't pop up in your basefuck feed, and -if you feel something needs to be said somewhere- you can post generally/vaguely about the contradictory nature of such stances

Griff · 05-09-2020, 07:49 AM

I decided to post a directly contradictory opinion on a shared "I won't take a Corona virus vaccine post." I was direct but not confrontational.

After being exposed to the constant paltering here, the rest of us have acquired partial immunity to Trump.

Now we'll be able to kick back and enjoy the new wave alternative truth that's become all the rage for another four years.

Except for the old ones who are set in their ways and can't adapt. They'll continue doing their thing and fall by the wayside. Too bad; but, they won't be around much longer anyway. [/thisisakindness]

Don't forget about Benny just because he's adopted. He's hers too! Benny can stand in for the others, maybe take mom for a nice stroll around the neighborhood, spend some quality time together.

Griff · 05-10-2020, 10:56 AM

All good advice outside of "neighborhood."

sexobon · 05-10-2020, 11:01 AM

Figure of speech.

Griff · 05-10-2020, 11:04 AM

Well we can walk by the chicken coop.

sexobon · 05-10-2020, 11:15 AM

Hang a sign from Benny's collar that says: I'm with Mom.
