• This and then there’s the stigma, taboo & hegemony of it all. Just saw a post where a person who would call themselves aware and progressive stated having “the weirdest flu” for two weeks and then went on listing all the textbook covid symptoms from sore throat to sob.

    It’s like people choose to be programmed to ignore the obvious, it’s infuriating.

    This same repeats in everything: I got into an argument with an environmentalist the other day who first ranted about the right wing & fascism and then his blog post had overpopulation brain worms in it. I asked him about this and provided several links on how he is in fact promoting ecofascism and as the dude refuses to denounce capitalism as a system, he was entirely unable to see the issue.

    The sad bit is that this is most people. But tech bros are still the most annoying for me. Regardless of age.

      Or say its allergies. Because of this i think long covid is way more common than reported but people just ignore it because admiting it would be too much of a psychological burden.

      As for techbros, its like a cargo cult. They sure are anyoing. And that is one set of assholes that are entierly a product of social conditioning.
