    I always wear a mask when sharing breath outside my household. That means everywhere inside. That means outsids if I’m near people. Even if it’s just one person – it only takes one oerson to spread disease. Covid is airborne and has killed and disabled millions. The vaccines lessen the chance of death in the acute phase but don’t prevent Long Covid and I’m not willing to get Long Covid.

    Covid is a class issue. The capitalists got pissed that keeping people safe from covid was too expensive and disruptive to business as normal so they sent the working class into the meat grinder and have manufactured the myth that it’s over. All for their economy. Its not over and all the young people I see coming down with POTS, cognitive decline, and chronic fatigue are a testament to that fact.

    Wear a respirator anytime you have to breathe in someone’s exhalations – kf94, kn95, n95, or better (kf99, kn100, p100). It should seal on your face, not have giant gaps. You can get body-safe double-sided tape called “mask tape” to affix a disposable respirator to your face. It’s a bit more upfront effort and cost but you can get a resuable elastomeric respirator – my P100 cost 30 to 40 dollars and the filters last for 3-4 months before they need replacing, at $15 per replacement set.

    Never give in. Those who pressure you won’t take care of you if you become disabled from Covid. They won’t even care enough to spit on your grave if you die from it directly, or die from the disability and systemic oppression that is rained down upon those who cannot work. They won’t spit on your grave because that would require remembering and acknowledging what they did to you and they’d rather sleepwalk to their own joyful doom with no acknowledgement of the cost in human blood to disrupt their shared mass delusion.

    So all the escalations and violence from NATO that preceded the official start of the war don’t count?

    If you do a thing that you know is going to lead to war then you’re starting the war. And NATO knew its brinkmanship with Ukraine was very likely to force Russia’s hand – analysts across the political spectrum were screaming it for years trying to sound the alarm. The mistake they made was assuming NATO would care to avoid war.

    NATO led Ukraine into war, has fed Ukrainians into the abattoir of Russian artillery, sabotaged peace talks, and just generally clearly gives 0 fucks about Ukrainian lives.
