Eryck Gu⸸⸸eЯaLThese are the good 'ol days everyone wants to return to, right?
Back when we had peace, #justice, and #equality on our home lands.
Back when, aside from droughts, we had enough food to go around and people ate relatively healthily.
The days when we were free.

Good.
“A Princeton man who attacked a doctor over COVID-19 mask regulations had his jail sentence upheld after an appeal.”
This asshole attacked a doctor after being asked to wear a mask during the peak of the pandemic, causing the doctor to be seriously injured and eventually leave the community over fears for their safety, which deprived the community of their ER doc.

DoomsdaysCW#Libertarians Took Control of This Small Town in #NewHampshire. It Didn’t End Well.
A new book shows the troubling consequences of #GraftonNH’s anti-government experiment.
"Today, we are all living in Grafton. Armies of rabid bears are wandering through our streets, clawing at our window screens, and gnashing their teeth at our children while the phone rings unanswered at the state department of fish and game. The old village church is erupting in flames, but someone has slashed the tires on our town’s lone fire truck, and the fire hydrants—unmaintained for a decade—have all run dry. Terrified, we beg our neighbors for help, only to be told that the Lord will protect us, or that the cataclysm in the streets is just punishment for our moral failures or our political misdeeds."

Excerpt: "Certainly, the author is not alone in finding cause for amusement in Grafton’s funny little basket of deplorables. For years now, reporters and pundits have chosen to focus on the style, rather than the policy substance, of the growing #LibertarianRight. Again and again, we read stories of rural rubes clad head to toe in #MAGA swag, hunched over chipped cutlery in dingy diners, wielding biscuits to wipe the last of the sausage gravy from their oversized plates while vociferously proclaiming that taxation is theft and inveighing against the nanny state. In choosing to shoot these red, white, and blue fish in a barrel, Hongoltz-Hetling is in very good company.
"But had the author not chosen snark over substance, his book could have served as a peculiarly timely cautionary tale, because the conflicting philosophical principles that drive this story are central to understanding American politics today. The differences between the libertarian stumblebums who moved to Grafton and the staff of the #Koch-funded #CatoInstitute are mostly sartorial. And the sad outcomes of Grafton’s wacky social experiment are now being repeated in American communities every single day. "

Riiiight, because the stupid dumbfucks that ignored the advice to get vaccinated in the first place will definitely listen to the suggestion that they might have to inconvenience themselves for the sake of theirs or other’s safety.

Because they’re idiots who would rather take up cause against imaginary bullshit than face the real problems we face as a society? 🤷♂️
