People are making me feel crazy about fearing Covid. I heard a therapist go “I don’t want to say Covid is OVER…” (but)

    I keep in mind that we were outrageously correct about the War on Terror, climate change, and a bunch of other stuff. I’m in my mid forties, I’m ugly and nerdy and my parents are working class, and I’m used to people dismissing my opinions for a very long time.

    How do I stay sane? Hate (maybe a better word is resistance). I hate nearly all white people I meet, and all rich people. I’m not some sort of ideal communist, but I care more about the opinions of the cleaners at work than my “work colleagues”.

    When I see yet another generic white dude not masking, or a posh person aggressively pushing back-to-normal, I barely register them as human. Maybe it’s harsh, but it keeps me feeling OK.

        Also climate change at this point is sort of like the first volley of nukes already went off in slow motion, and even more are still being launched with no immediate end in sight while a significant portion of people are still arguing about whether nukes are real or a Chinese hoax

      I was going to say you deal with it the same way you deal with being the only people who are right about a dozen other things while liberals and chuds agree were wrong.

      In my case barely contained contempt.
