Cinta Laura& #39;s post had some interesting takes about the decaying state of society & the world -- which she could convey without having to tie it back to the pandemic.

Her take in its current form is abhorrent:

People had to die so she can have an epiphany & see silver linings.

To be clear, tragedies can act as a powerful incentive for radical change & structural reform -- people are now talking about the merits of Universal Basic Income & free healthcare access, for example.

Cinta Laura& #39;s message is not that.
It& #39;s a toxic romanticization of suffering.

My biggest eww moment was when she shit on people being angry at leaders & their bad decisions by pointing out that they are a reflection of us.

Ummm, no ma& #39;am.

They campaigned an immaculate version of themselves to get our votes & now they betrayed us. Damn right we& #39;re pissed.
