When someone complains about masks, complains abt restaurants & schools shutting down due to staff getting sick, then refuses to get vaccinated, all I can think is what they're really complaining about is that the rest of the world isn't abiding by their make-believe fantasy.
They don't want to be part of the solution because their magical thinking says there isn't a problem. They see the measures taken by thinking people to mitigate the problem AS the problem. And I honestly don't know how to get through that.
But I do know this. I won't be participating in their make-believe. It's not legitimate and it's hurting people. Giving them platform, arguing like their make-believe deserves time and energy isn't working and it only perpetuates the harm.
