THIS IS A FUCKING PANDEMIC,
a rant, a thread:

The Spanish flu was around for more than a year. And killed anywhere from *30 to 100 million people worldwide (*sources vary).

And people think THIS ( #COVID19) will be better somehow in just few weeks, or a few months? 1/

Look at northeast China this week: https://twitter.com/jenniferatntd/status/1251142663837036546?s=21

Opening states now means deliberately allowing the acceleration of a deadly virus throughout the populace. 2/

Incompetent, financially compromised, and morally corrupt elected officials fail to protect us *on purpose* — and there is a compulsive liar in the White House to boot. 3/

The leadership of our country is bound to their financial sponsors. They answer to them, not you. Not me. Corporations and lobbyists are considered more human than you or me. 4/

Where are the fucking tests? Ask that question and you get no answers, only childish finger-pointing and bullshit. 5/

We all need to be tested for both virus and antibodies. Contact-tracing needs to be done. Lock downs need to continue until widespread testing is functional and in place. 6/

Blatant state-sponsored propaganda in the corporate media (quite legal—thanks, Obama) has warped millions of minds. It’s all-out information warfare and has been for years even before this.

And many of you fail to see it.

But it is much more than that. 7/

It’s a war for your literal life and basic survival.

Do you have a minimum of basic instinct and common sense to even try to survive? Do you use your noggin and awake from the stupor of lies and misinformation? 8/

Do you protect your life and the lives of your families at all cost? Will you finally give a shit about anyone other than yourself? 9/

Or do you take the typical American entitled attitude and go to your hair salon because you are somehow indestructible and it’s “just” the salon? 10/

And what if your hairdresser is asymptomatic and passes it to you? So then you pass it to your parents, or your kids? Get friends and coworkers sick, too?

Oops.

Bitch, bai.

FACT CHECK: The entitlement of the elite does not extend to you, nor to me.
But they want you to believe it does. 12/

They want you to believe it is safe, so you can go back to life as usual to work the machines of capitalism that are starting to unhinge before their eyes ... 13/

... while they sit at their ranches and compounds and on their private yachts and private islands and fifth estates, tweeting videos inside their $100,000+ kitchens.

They can afford to watch you go die for their Almighty Dollar. 14/

They want you to go back to work, for them. Business as usual.

Except we can’t.

This is a fucking pandemic.

15/

We are all just cogs in their machines. Take control of the cogs and you take control of the machine? Perhaps. 16/

Read: Politicians don’t give a fuck about you.

Corporations don’t give a fuck about you.

Billionaires don’t give a fuck about you.

Capitalism doesn’t give a fuck about you.

You are not important.

You are a tool and slave. 17/

But go ahead. Open up your states. Go back to work.

Just prepare yourselves for the genocide you will hasten and perpetuate, you selfish entitled fucks. 18/

Or maybe ... #generalstrike for debt relief, guaranteed income, and healthcare — for all? Just an idea.

It is a fucking pandemic, after all.
