I will always fight ppl who claim we& #39;re reopening bc Americans are spoiled & fickle, etc. Zeroing in on selfish ppl erases everyone who is trying & terrified. The government failed spectacularly. The whole world is marveling at it. Making this about individual choices is fucked.
If you& #39;ve decided the people irresponsibly crowding into bars and restaurants are representative of the public, perhaps you should ask yourself why it& #39;s them that you see as representative, as opposed to the rest of us.
Blaming individuals is also an abdication of responsibility. We have a duty to fight for each other, to secure what ppl need to survive, bc reopening is a farce. If we& #39;re focused on blaming each other, we are not challenging the real enemy or fighting for collective survival.
Yes, I& #39;m furious at the selfish people. Such folks are endangering my people and all of us right now and I& #39;m horrified. But focusing my energy on them will not help. We need to make the means of our collective survival into the cost of order. That& #39;s what it will take.
