I went home to see my fam for some holidays, and in my hometown in the US midwest *no one was wearing a mask. Half of my family had covid at some point and a few of them almost died, yet they still aren’t wearing masks. I can’t imaging being in that much pain, being lucky to come out of it, and still not protecting yourself from another infection, but that’s the level of indoctrination people are at. Meanwhile the US is preventing vaccine distribution to the global south… world capitalism is eating its own people.
I also don’t see this going away anytime soon. New variants are gonna keep popping up, and the same non-response guarantees that it won’t get fixed.
This is from Peter Turchin’s secular cycles, and shows that we’re probably in step 4 now.
