Sickness is the body being duped?

Who are the assistants of Corona?

This is just a jumbled mess, an indication of how rigid ideologies present a model of reality that cannot handle that reality is a continuum, continually unfolding. Conditions change. If nothing good can come from the pandemic, how do you handle any other crisis?

Thomas Mann (for which "Magic Mountain" is a great long read) would be able to tackle dismantling this proto-fascist mindset (it could also align with anti-natalism and eugenics) better than I could ever.

For now, perhaps people can't really be distilled down to categories (Republican and Democrat haven't always existed), and that's why the categories don't seem to behave right. Not everyone is those categories at all. Not to argue for the vote, but what the fuck do these categories mean for US citizens in Puerto Rico and any of the country's island territories? What about those in other countries under US sanctions, where people are routinely denied necessary medications (yes, the US govt is complicit in Iranian COVID deaths)? What about indigenous folks domestically?

These categories are abstract, rigid, not inclusive and only help to dehumanize. But, it's par for the course of the dis-ease I've seen when out and about. Some people are losing it from the many stressors presently. Focus and short term memory loss were the first to go.
