Where is he watching children turn on parents? Is he, like, looking into people’s windows? Or what? Because normally that’s not something you can just “watch,” like a football game. I also doubt that friends quarrel with friends over it right in front of him. It sounds dramatic though, to say you’re “watching” it. Drama drama drama, there can never be enough.

“Dangerous vermin”; “unclean.” We’re meant to think it’s like Nazi Germany, and he’s The Jews.

No, we don’t think that, we think people are stupidly and/or selfishly refusing to wear masks, for stupid or selfish or just no real reasons, and thus helping the pandemic kill and harm more people. Do we think that’s a bad thing to do? Yes, of course. It’s nothing to do with vermin, or with “unclean” except in the sense that the virus is contagious – but a mask doesn’t make you “clean,” it just hinders transmission of the virus.

Ah that old festering wound – the fact that smoking around other people became unpopular. So unfair and unkind, isn’t it? To not want other people’s cigarette smoke in your face? It’s not at all that the custom of smoking around other people was always quite rude, no no, it’s the other way around – it’s people who don’t want to be around cigarette smoke who are unreasonable and cruel. Same with masks.

No, being able to compel people is not the goal, the goal is not getting the virus and not allowing the virus to spread. That’s it. We’d love it if everyone had good sense and just did what needs to be done without all this mewling and puking.
