    I mean I don’t know a lot of people actively wanted to kill others because they decided it was a fucking hoax and some of them literally went to their deathbeds while risking doctors’ and nurses’ lives via exposure to them.

    Something emboldened the stupid to be monstrously pig-headed and arrogant about being stupid, and guess what, the people with an education are absolutely sick of their loser ass bullshit.

    You don’t negotiate or play nice with idiots whose stupidity can and will fucking kill you and your loved ones and even the ones doling out medical care to the idiots. Nah, this is the world they asked for. Done pandering to pansies who can’t face fucking reality because it makes them feel stupid. Guess what, you are stupid. Get used to it, nimrod, or get a fucking education.

      Yeah this feels exactly how the cycle keeps on continuing back and forth. And while the start may have been legitimate criticism to awful behaviour we have a society fed by social media saying there is no such thing, just idiots who disagree.
      So, round and round we go. Pushing on the next insult to finally show those idiots we won’t take it anymore and now everyone is upset with everyone.

      It takes more effort than I think anyone has the energy to, to be nice when you are hurting and angry. Especially when it’s easy to see and feel like they don’t deserve the energy.

      Probably has something to do with something monstrously pig-headed and arrogant about being stupid being elected President and suffering literally zero consequences for its negative traits.
