Ngl I didn't make any of this up lol. That "being able to vacation abroad is a human right" thing was almost the exact words someone here on Tumblr said to me. This person literally came to me specifically--which is very.....funny? Suspicious? Because I don't post or rb political stuff on tumblr all that often, not even on my personal blog, idk why they would target me lol. Did they think I'm an easy target or something? Lol. But no matter, it's not like I haven't been on those kinds of forums, I've seen too many others like this person. The reason I'm not on those forums now is because I think trying to start meaningful discussions with idiots is a complete waste of time and effort. Anyway, this person came to my inbox just to argue about cn's covid policy lmao. I was a bit suspicious tbh but I went along with them just to see where this would go, and ofc this person went to the textbook cult (you know which one) rhetorics. And I was like ah lol okay gotcha. And then this person blocked me. Lol.

Then about the 1 day "experiment" in Shijiazhuang. When it happened, someone from Shijiazhuang (again, someone I have never met) came to me on another site and said they're very anxious about Shijiazhuang just suddenly letting go, and wanted to ask how I lived in the us for the past 2 years without getting covid. I felt pretty bad for her honestly, but since I'm just a normal person with access to only your normal average resources (blue surgical mask, isopropanol, ethanol, clorox wipes, normal household stuff), I just told her to wear a mask when outside and avoid crowds and hope for the best, since that's what I did.

Anyway all this was quite interesting. Some people just love to blame their bad day on something else, and some people just love to whine. The people screaming about "opening up" would fucking lose it if the ~1% mortality rate fell on them or on someone near and dear to them. It's all just part of human nature tbh, aka selfishness. "Everything has to work towards fulfilling my wishes, and if they don't then I will get my panties in a wad". Like hello? You live in a society. Ever heard of a thing called the "social contract"? Lol.

Certain cn people online: gov bad for taking measures against covid! Being able to vacation somewhere else is a human right!

(Shijiazhuang let's go for a day)

The same people: OH NO WE ARE GONNA GET INFECTED OH SHIT WE DIDN'T KNOW LONG COVID IS A THING SHIT FUCK SHIT IF GOV DOESN'T DO ANYTHING WE ARE FUCKED THEY BETTER DO SOMETHING

(Shijiazhuang resumes covid testing)

(Rinse and repeat)
