> Things are super complex right now. The truth is somewhere in the middle of all the bullshit we're being fed. I completely agree. All 'sides' are greatly over-reacting to this and most everything else. Yes, this is a very serious situation, and requires serious and well considered discussions and actions. A great way to get groups of people who are naturally somewhat suspicious of government mandated activities, like wearing a mask, to never ever consider wearing a mask is to over-act and react irrationally. It's a pretty miserable, self-sustaining cycle. Having said that: > You're applying your view of the world to him. You wrote that in response to my statement: > > It broke my heart. A smart, good, kind man that I knew had been brain damaged. Like some kind of fucking psychological cancer. As stated, I was talking about a belief that Covid-19 was a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government to help Joe Biden get elected. That's Alex Jones level bullshit. It doesn't break my heart to see someone I care about having a nuanced, non 'party-line' view of this whole situation. That's healthy. To believe that people who are actually dying of Covid-19 aren't actually dying of Covid-19 is another matter entirely. > You're also condemning him in your mind. Not in the slightest. If you note my other comments, you will see that I'm not condemning anybody. I know that every one of us is subject to and impacted by different kinds of irrational thinking. Reading your links, I don't agree with all of your conclusions, but that's fine. Like you, I "continually reevaluating the information".
