We need more Gen Z politicians the older generations have never considered our needs when making decisions. From stunting our growth due to the draconian lockdowns and now the Iran War. Both sides are at fault. Its not a political party issue

You are so, so close brother. I agree that we need a robust populist movement though.

Covid lockdowns were literally some of the least strict in the developed world, it’s hard to take it seriously when you call it “draconian”. And equating that exceptionally libertarian approach to lockdown to contracting mass murder is bonkers.

Lockdowns did nothing. They were just a way for the ruling class to see how easily people would give their rights away for safety.

No, you didn’t. Your opinion was unresponsive to any of the things I said.

Well I think there’s a strong argument that Covid lockdowns were wreckless. Even every socialist favorite country in Sweden had very few lockdowns even less then America and they had a similar death rate to us

Idk I think we should all be grateful we’re not dead and can now enjoy our freedoms once again. A few months of lockdown 6 years ago was worth it in the end.

I love how your argument assumes that immunocompromised people deserve to just get fucked over.
