My state has just gone from “irritatingly bullshit but tolerable restrictions” to “insane police state, masks when you leave the house, no unauthorized gatherings”, as of midnight tonight…
OVER SEVEN FUCKING CASES, STATEWIDE!!
Friends of mine will probably lose their jobs over this, as it will absolutely crush both the retail and hospitality sectors. Not being able to gather at Christmas (if that is where we are heading), will probably be the end, for some people. (More) Venues will close permanently. People will stop going out. And they’ve very much made all of it sound semi-permanent…
I sincerely don’t know how I’ll get through the next few weeks and months, without a) being arrested for “resisting”, or b) just… Giving up.
Everyone around me supports this unquestioningly…
Everyone I know who doesn’t? Left this state some time ago… 😞
Considering most therapists are feminist women who will try to say everything is because of toxic masculinity, you're not far off this being the only place to feel a little better about the state of this world.
I'm not a doomer yet though. I still think feminism will cross a line and turn everyone against them.
Don't keep it to yourself, it'll just get worse if you bottle it up.
Try to forget it as much as possible over the holidays and spend some time doing your favorite hobbies to relax yourself.
Then in 2022, you can start planning your way out by studying family history and seeing if you have any paths to citizenship elsewhere.
Yeah, on that…
