I'm back and honestly, I'm only madder than I was two days ago because I've had time to mull the bullshit over. [Link,](https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5723508) for those of y'all out of the know. It appalls me that any community of people that *claim* to be marxists, that *claim* to follow the scientific method in all things that would contribute to the betterment of the world we're forced to share, that *claim* to be really out here performing praxis and making differences in their communities; it _fucking galls me_ that a community like everything I just described can still look at a _still on-going pandemic_ and still have such a tacit anti-mask stance. More of you admitted to not masking than I'm comfortable with and y'know what, maybe we could've left it at that. It'd have been a form of liberalism to _not_ dig my heels in on that and take a swing at that mindset because again: I took on a new disability in the wake of a COVID infection. My partner took on a new disability in the wake of their infection. I was put in a hospital bed, my grandparents were put on respirators, so many members of my family and my community were genuinely _out of commission_ and a good number of us really had to question if we were going to make it to see the next morning under those infections-- but _maybe,_ we could've left it at that. But then, I have to see you people not only trying to justify it, but taking up for smuggards who just think it's all some big fuckin joke, like they're their favorite podcast crackerbro getting to have their own personal Matt Christman moment. I expect "u mad bro" smuglord fuckery out of crackers who can't even be trusted to properly wipe their asses after they shit, or to wash their hands after doing so. And worse, _you expect me to not be heated about smug-assed crackers making light of genuinely-disabling infections after the fact._ I stand _ten motherfucking toes down_ on what I said to Cantaloupe Ass and Ghost of Faso; any plague rat motherfucker who wants to take issue with how I feel about people who won't mask can catch the same cases my partners and my family caught. It's a whole lot of you motherfuckers that are so unserious, so emphatically not my comrades that it _sickens me_ seeing you call yourselves so. Do better. Deuces.
