There’s no way of winning with those like you. You just like the drama of the pandemic too much and want it to stay forever. Even if it killed 1 person a year globally, those like you would probably argue that “even one life is infinitely precious and we should be on lockdown to save it”. Perhaps you feel this is your opportunity of a lifetime to be righteous. Honestly, I am so fed up with so many of you around that I have been hoping for a global nuclear Armageddon between Russia and the USA just to shut all of you up. Don’t forget to wear your mask when you look at the strange bright light in the sky.

I'm sorry, but it seems you're complaining about a straw man that lives only in your head. Also, there are much easier and more effective ways to deal with things like that than wishing for a nuclear war. Thanks for your comment, though. It felt nice to read it for reasons you almost certainly didn't intend.

  It is not a strawman if it speculates motivations, because people are rarely honest about their motivations, even to themselves.

In some contexts that may be true, but internet comments is not one of them. The GP is just showing us the melodrama that's going on between some characters that live in his head. He was responding to them, not so much to me.
