"I’m exhausted.
I’m reading yet another long list of justifications for not masking from a
self-identified leftist.
The most oft-repeated?
It is what it is, we just have to accept it.
There’s nothing we can do.
It’s just not realistic to eliminate COVID.
Is it realistic to Defund the Police? Is it realistic to end the production of
fossil fuels? Is it realistic to bring down an oligarchy? Is it realistic to
Abolish ICE?
Was it realistic to fight AIDS? Was it realistic to end segregation?
Is it realistic to burn down every private insurance company and build a world
with free, high-quality healthcare on demand for every human in this country?
Is it realistic to stop the military industrial complex and invest billions in
social programs instead?
You see where I’m going with this.
We’re leftists! We live and breathe and fight and die and lose and win the
unrealistic battles, always!"
