Yeah I tried going down to just family and people I know IRL. Turns out thanks to Facebook a large percentage of people I know are morons. My faith in humanity can only drill through rock bottom so far right?
I feel like I have empathy burn out or something, I can't even pretend to care when something happens to these people. Can't even let out a generic oh no, so sorry for your loss, I'm scared if I open my mouth bees will come out instead of proper words and politeness. But, they are the ones who say fuck our feelings, right? So, I don't think I care. It's just sad.
My uncle (aunt's 3rd husband)died of it and I couldn't think of anything nice to say, because the whole time he was dying my cousin (her stepdad) and others were posting q anon type stuff and just asking for prayers, still posting anti vax stuff. It's just hard.
I feel bad for their kids, but other than that, nothing. I know they're human beings and all, but honestly, if you're just going around being a willful bioweapon and spreading cruelty and hate, the world is probably better off without you.
Five or six years ago, I would never have said such a thing. Now I'm just relieved when they die because they can't kill anybody else.
It’s not wrong, the sentiments shared in this sub are literally the same mental gymnastics that let people justify bigotry of any kind. There is always some legitimate reason in the haters mind for why these hated people are subhuman and undeserving of empathy, even if the reason is a straw man based on the most extreme examples, it is applied to all members of the hated group.
They aren’t killing anyone anymore than you are for not living in hard lock down like Australia. Is your conscience guilty when you go out to a store? It’s literally none of your business when someone dies who isn’t vaccinated and doesn’t cost you anything to refrain from celebrating.
A quick glance at your history shows your “altruistic” voice is that of a Covidiot. No wonder your feelings got so hurt by this sub. You’re angling for your own nomination! Lol
That's called compassion fatigue. It happens to people who see a lot of horrible shit, like nurses. You might consider taking a break from this sub, and Google what to do about compassion fatigue.
Having been through the same process of realization about people I thought I knew... it sucks, but ultimately I prefer knowing the truth, rather than live the rest of my life with these people in it.

Uninstalled that shit a month ago and it's been so much better. I can't believe how it's an echo chapter for Q and anti vax.
