was shopping earlier today, overheard a customer talking to an employee about "we'll do [idk what..] with the unvaccinated", both laughing.
shit is turning ugly quick and people don't even see it. it's amazing and frightening to watch.
i'm near the point of "fingers crossed for omicron hitting the vaccinated hard" to have the bullshit stop. maybe ADE is real after all.
sucks if people get ill of course, but if this general mood in the population continues we'll have good old lynchings next xmas :/
@bonifartius There is still the huge possibility that you're overreacting and they were making a dumb gallows joke, without literal gallows.
And in turn you're wishing doom and gloom on the vaccinated. Why wouldn't I treat you the same as you treat those dumb jokesters?
@trinsec i don't wish doom on anyone, i wrote that i feel like i'm on the verge. it's insane that such jokes are now considered "gallows humor", even if it's clearly group based hostility like "the unemployed", "alcoholics", etc. i have read/heard once too often that it's "cleansing" (and other things) if unvaccinated (for whatever reason) die. just look on twitter. those things get _ no_ repercussion and many likes.
this society only disgusts me now. it's all lies and greed, from top to bottom. janus reigns. i just want to be left alone. i have no real contact with anyone outside my household anymore for two years, as i don't really want covid (even if i think i had it early in 2020) and everyone has gone insane anyway. i honestly am on the brink of madness too.
the whole thing has one good, at least i now can remotely comprehend how it is to be discriminated for being member of "group".
@bonifartius Those jokes are always considered gallows humor, not just 'now'. Even I make very dark jokes sometimes and won't act upon it. It's just a way of venting harmlessly. Though best not done in public like those dumb jokesters have done, but that's obviously why they have piped down so you could barely hear them.
> 'Just look on twitter.'
If you want a bigger cesspool on the internet, indeed, look on twitter. Stop making yourself crazy.
Social media IS the worst of society. You can't take it seriously. Something about feeling invulnerable because you're anonymous.
And you get scared and uncomfortable after reading all that bullshit. And you're forwarding it right here. My suggestion? Take a break from the internet if it affects you that much.

sure, dark humor is fine. it's just that usually if you make jokes about nearly any group (except few) you are considered "nazi" (for a lack of better word).
gallows humor can only be made by those who have the noose around their neck, not the ones operating the lever.
(eris said this too but i guess you probably blocked kiwifarms).

it's even people i know from work who "like" this stuff. even if i don't know them, it's still someone writing this stuff in public. people have been canceled for much less. these get praise and not a twitter ban.

i don't know, but a chancellor in germany saying there are "no red lines" anymore is kinda concerning for me. it isn't covid which scares me, it isn't some people on the internet. it's that it's accepted that rights can be given and taken on a whim by the deus ex machinae our governments are and a large majority likes this and wants more of the "strong leadership".
