People enjoying covid culture

I don't get it. I've been noticing a ton of people ever since it all started who are real enthusiastic about this covid crap. you can tell they're not doing it to try and be safe and keep themselves from getting sick because they bought into it, but they legitenjoywearing masks, social distancing, taking selfies with their PPE and masks. Had some guy introduce himself to me, I go for a handshake and he reflexively backs off and enthusiastically says "No no no, let's bump elbows!" like it's a fun game we're all playing.

Had my bro tell me he went to some restaurant that had a takeout window. He walks up with his mask on and the ******* on the other side sing-songs "mask goes over the nose!" like it's some ****gy Fauci jingle he heard on plebbit.

Then you got the people who are legit excited to get the vaccine. Again it's not out of wanting to avert any risk because they believe covid is real, but because it's a badge of honor. I remember seeing someone post about some ****gy retard on plebbit who got a vaccine tattoo after they got the shots.

I mean I just don't fgucking get it. Why the enthusiasm? Why are people excited and think there is something novel about all this? Like it's a big part of their personality now.

Modern life is hollow and meaningless for the vast majority of people, unless they're in a career where they can do whatever tf they want, or picked something that is inherently meaningful/sacrificial for the sake of others or otherwise dangerous

for everyone else, covid has given them a chance to feel like they're part of something larger, and that the actions they take on a day to day basis are driving toward some greater public good, and it's providing them a sense of meaning and fulfilment they probably haven't experienced in years, or more likely, decades

My grandparents tell me to get the shot all the time and they lifted mask mandates in my area and there are still plenty of people wearing masks all day

I don't get it

I see people walking outside in 80 degree weather wearing them still

I legit had to stop interacting with one of my cousins on my mom's side of the family because he does this BS.

His brother on the other hand, completely normal.

If I ran into someone doing that at a business or outside location, instantly wouldn't give them my business - no professionalism in elbow bumping at all.

I remember being a virgin loser incel that never left the house when I was 17, and even if this chit happened then, I’d still be going fcking crazy. Fck this chit, imagine how pathetic your life is to make this part of your identity. Jewish propaganda hits some people harder than others I guess

Sheeple truly hate freedom, its too hard to think for themselves its far easier when someone just tells them what to do.

I honestly lost a lot of respect for a great majority of my fellow americans this last year.

I personally love it, I've been paid to watch Netflix at work for over a year now. I've watched all 8 seasons of Dexter, all 5 seasons of Dexter, 4 seasons of Better call Saul, Hill House, and now I am finishing up season 4 of Mr. Robot.

same here. as a matter of fact I wonder what my reaction will be a few years from now and I meet someone, develop rapport with them, later find out they were all aboard the covid hype train back in 2020.

Those people FINALLY get to be a part of something [they perceive as] big in their life.

They get power they never had by enforcing the rules on others

The get a dopamine kick from "being a good person" and "saving others"

As much as "virtue signaling" has become a buzz word, it is still a real thing, and this has become an easy way to virtue signal without having to be sheepish about it.

With that said, I personally love wearing masks because it makes me anonymous when I go out as I don't want to have to run into someone I know and make small talk to them - I love this for me!

-people actually at least pretending to wash their hands
-people staying away from the office when they’re sick
-not having to shake hands with every random *******
-people not breathing down your neck when standing on line

Of course ever since COVID was completely eradicated I haven’t seen anyone wear a mask but the things above I’m a-ok with

What’s not to like

They aren’t. That’s a strawman to assume even the pro-vax NPCs are enjoying the globalistfunded simulation that many attribute to chyna’s negligence and some think was intentional to subvert the west

A lot of those same people have been able to work from home for the past year and realize how much better it is to commuting and officeceling while pussyfooting around coworkers all day.

It's the only possible way pathetic ******* nerds and other social outcasts like women who have lost their glow can feel popular and like they're a part of something mainstream. Deep down they don't care anything about what it is, they just want a chance at not being unnoticed. Same for all the other *******ry we're witnessing out there.

Back when they were rolling out COVID I was having a great time. My work split is into shifts where one week you’d work 2 12 hour days, next week 3, then 2 again, and still paid us for 40. That was one of the most enjoyable times of my life and the closest I’ll ever get to summer vacation again.

Now people are just getting off on it. For a lot of people, their mask has become like a 3 year old’s “blankie” or stuffed animal. And they want everyone else to have a blankie too because they are such fat pussies.
Entire NYPD should go on strike. You'll see then how quickly the mayor changes his tone.

This is so spot on, and an issue for the younger generation especially. Religion used to fill that void, now it’s politics, Covid, BLM, etc


Anyone vocal about any of that chit likely has their own identity issues. Be your own man for Christ’s sake

It seems to be the same sort of people; those that live in the city, love the corporate structured life full of rules and regs, and love to virtue signal. They're all sheeple that have no real meaning in their life and get off on telling people what to do. They vote democrat, need/want more govt rules/regs, and despise freedom.

I am a very private person, I prefer solitude or to be in the company of people that I am very close to. That is enough for me, but I don't take any special joy out of the lockdowns.

I've seen people lose their jobs, have to line up in massive numbers at food banks, become homeless, become isolated from their family and loved ones, and had their constitutional rights completely denied. I've seen rich people and their corporations prosper without following guidelines, while houses of worship are blocked and invaded by armed police.

In Europe they've deployed dogs and water cannons on lockdown protestors along with other brutality. It's more than masks, it's the culture of authoritarian governments during economic crisis. This is how China operates, our leaders have openly announced that they are taking pointers from China to create these policies. Mao's China, much like the USSR, is not a good place to be religious, a dissident, free, or freethinking.

All this quarreling over surface issues like masks and dating apps does not get to the root of what's happening. We have seen a dramatic restructuring of society and the beginning of fascist overreach. Instead of nationalism being the excuse, it's a thin veneer of pseudointellectual benevolence from the owners of our society. If it was really all about goodwill and protecting our health, then it would not have to be enforced through such violent means.

The government is corrupt.

I don't care much for the actual "culture" but there are many things that I truly enjoy that came from this:

- I actually like wearing a mask in stores. I'm an introvert and don't enjoy making small talk or even having to make facial expressions at people. I don't like giving people that fake smile hello. Having a mask makes all that so much easier. And it's harder to talk so it gives a better excuse to not have to talk to people (I always enjoyed the dentist much better than the barber because I knew I didn't have to make awkward small talk with the dentist).

- curbside ordering has made things so much more convenient. Being either buying groceries from the phone app and having some Walmart guy put them right in my trunk or having a restaurant worker bring out my food is great.

- telehealth doctors visits. I had to have a specialist doctor appointment recently and did it via an app on my phone. Instead of driving to the office, waiting in the waiting room for an hour, then waiting another 20 minutes in the exam room, I just clicked the link on my phone and boom the doctor was right there.

- and finally the best thing ever is my job is permanently work from home from now on. They actually aren't renewing my office lease. Especially for me who has a full time salaried job but only actually works maybe 30 hours a week, working from home is fuking amazing. I wake up when I want, I watch TV all day long, and I go out throughout the day to do errands and other chit I need to get done in my personal life. It's seriously amazing and will never do an office job again.

So yeah, covid has been pretty great to me.
