Ayeaye, thanks captain!

What alternatives do you recommend?

Solid deflection. In what world do you think that would actually happen in the us? Feel free to detail how it would actually play out. Take all the time you need

Who knew it was that simple! Did you tell the head of DHS that? I’m sure this regime will get right on it as soon as you correct the error of their ways!

Good luck with that.

I don’t want anyone to suffer who didn’t cause someone else to suffer first, but realizing that suffering will occur due to others ignorance regardless of what I want isn’t me condoning it. And yes, I can’t think of a more direct way to get ignorant parents to understand the harm they’ve caused than for their own children to suffer from their actions. The whole argument is based on getting the people causing the suffering to stop. These people are wildly selfish; you think they care about anything that doesn’t affect them? It’s terrible that it’s reached that point, but if you don’t realize that yet, you’re living in a dream world. These people wouldn’t wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID, but they’ll happily support state thugs wearing them while disappearing anyone who isn’t white or who speaks out against the regime.

Your solution is simple and effective, and in any other developed country outside the us it’s probably reality already. Do you live in the us? If you don’t, then it may be hard for you to understand why no part of your plan will happen at present. If you do live here, then you’re just plain ignorant to the reality here. Do I wish things were different here? With all my heart. I plan on leaving this shithole country as soon as I can.

I’m posing a solution based on reality. You’re proposing a solution based on a situation that doesn’t exist where the problem is. Please don’t confuse my acceptance of the current situation with approval of it.

Lol, the truth. Why don’t we just tell them that what they believe isn’t true, I’m sure they’ll come to their senses after hearing that 🤣 I don’t remember claiming to be anything other than someone still waiting on folks to reply with what should be done since they’re real chatty about what they think shouldn’t be.

I was in school when those requirements were mandatory. Truly a shame how far the us has fallen since then

Fair enough. I guess I was just responding within the confines of reality. But there’s no harm in dreaming I guess

I’m sure rfk jr’s brain worm will jump right on that plan. You must not live in america, right?

Sounds like we had similar upbringings. Never said I had a good answer, I just answered. These people live to defy the common good if they’re told it will hurt the people they’ve been trained to hate. Do you really think trying to force them to do the right thing won’t result in them resisting even more? That that approach doesn’t result in even more of those children dying? It’s by no means what I want, so please don’t conflate that with me acknowledging this reality in a cynical tone. I’m talking about members of my family who feel this way, you think I don’t personally understand the consequence of what I’m suggesting?

Fair enough

I’m absolutely open to alternatives. List away!

That’s a genuinely good idea! What do you think are the chances that will ever happen?

Again; I’m open to better options. IDK if you’re american or not, but I am. I live in the american south. I deal with these people on a daily basis. They’re not worth tolerating. It’s not lost on me that their children are innocent, but I’m open to suggestions on how to convince them that giving up some of their personal freedom for the greater good is the best path forward, because the vast majority wouldn’t even put on a mask during COVID to help others. They’ll happily let their kids die to preserve their idea of ‘freedom’. How do propose getting them to voluntarily help their children?

I’m all ears on a better solution

Fuck no

We can deal with that bridge when we cross it, but until then I’m all ears on a better option for the current issue

If they’re not trying to stop others from getting what’s needed, I see no problem. In fact, I see a solution

Doing the lord’s work 🙏
