@trendless I relate to the comments here. I was home schooled, a vegetarian as a kid, vegan as an adult, a punk/goth, and certainly never fit in, nor had any desire to. In the UK, while the general population seemed distracted by media coverage on the mere "mishandling" of the pandemic, my partner and I (who both caught Covid the first week of March of 2020) were particularly disgusted by that defining moment in August of 2020 when the ruling class let their masks slip with "Eat Out to Help Out (Capitalists)" bribing people to risk their health by going back into restaurants and bars to boost profits -- this was even before we really realised just how sick my partner was becoming with Long Covid, now ME. Our resolve has never wavered and never will. Masking up is not only an anticapitalist act, but also - given ableism and eugenics - an antifascist act as well.
