I *like* seeing my friends in person and attending events and some things are just better in-person

conferences, concerts, parties, I don't want my life to be one long video call

Some “progressives” are already using this pandemic to get to their ideal world of no travel, no leaving the house except to apologize to a tree, and banishment of most the things that make life worth living. Soon they’ll be mandating insect consumption and IV drips of fake meat. Ok, I’m being flip and mean to be funny. But they are indeed using this opportunity to push their preferred diminished ascetic future of licking algae out of glass bottles while performing recompensatory cunnilingus on Gaia on demand.

Why did our choices have to be reduced to predatory neoliberal capitalism and algae-slurping Benedictine monks?
