Hot take, but I think America’s over reliance on safety will over time erode the survival instincts of humans. We need to rely more on ourselves to stay out of harms way rather than blindly trusting the government and corporations. Swim at your own risk.

I feel like there are a lot of safety obsessed people in this sub who are in favor of excessive government safety laws. Especially during COVID

ah yes, “excessive government safety laws” in the face of the modern pandemic. as much as it may sadden me, you do indeed have the freedom to be as stupid as you choose to.

I’m glad you think it was okay to blindly accept government orders that didn’t account for losses in childhood development and mental health. Governments also closed parks even though COVID spreads significantly less outdoors and going outside boosts your immune system.

do you know what else impacts childhood development and mental health, loss of life, including loss of friends or loved ones. go cry into a pillow about how you were so oppressed as a pandemic ravaged the world. utter sociopaths.

Ask any teacher about the negative effects COVID had on the classrooms. Kids now can’t behave and COVID played a huge role in that.

fuck the dead kids right? if you want to talk about people who can’t behave, I’d recommend you focus on the egregious white supremacists and Christian nationalists; but no, your seemingly primary concern is “government overreach during COVID” like I said, utter sociopaths. it’d do you well to read about the words of Gustave Gilbert in observation of the Nuremberg trials; specifically the quote of his regarding empathy.
