>It took explicit government action and massive propaganda to get us into the fuckery we are in today. It did not happen because of climate change or "unfettered capitalism".

False, a government could have stopped international travel and fix the problem at it's root, but capitalists wanted to travel aroudn the world and now you pay more. Same shit with anarchist that protested like retards (at least in my country) that they don't want to use masks and today they are waiting 3 hours for a vaccine because the giant number of deaths in their family finally opened their minds.

So you are fucking wrong, greed and anarchy caused lot of death and financial lose, but I am 100% sure your scenario where everyone traveled without masks around the world and in public places is much better feel free to ignore reality too.

Add no lockdowns, mandates, or constant fear mongering; then yes, much better.

>fear mongering

You imply that fear is unjustified, unfortunately here in Romania we can see what happens when conspiracy and no restrictions get combined, do a search on your trusted media and compare real numbers (hopefully your trusted media has real numbers)

Constant fear mongering propaganda would not be necessary if the fear was justified.

Fuck dude, me and my son had COVID, I am vaccinated and still got it, he is still a child and I esitated to vaccinate, let me tell you I was afraid for our health and live and who knows how much will it take for our bodies to recover.

The only reason not to fear is if you have no family and maybe you already had COVID and feel invulnerable or if you are a retard ad think COVID is just like the flu.

I have also gotten sick on occasion.

Seems like you are a person prone to live in fear. Surely once you recover from your illness, you will continue to live in fear because of climate change, and if that was ever somehow resolved to your satisfaction, you'd find something else to provide your fear fix.

Hopefully your young son will grow above and beyond this negative influence, and maybe even teach you that there is more to life than constant anxiety and anger about the End Times. Good luck.

Fear is normal when is justified! Fear prevents people to get killed by avoiding doing dangerous shit. But feel free to be courageous and go visit someone with COVID and then visit your entire family/friends, prove them all that is all fake and there is nothing to be afraid.
