To be clear covid parties are stupid and people that go to them are complete idiots.
My issue is taking overt glee in the deaths of everybody who's not following the rules perfectly, like
@Hauler not wearing his mask lol. But I'll get one sympathetic step farther than that And I don't necessarily expect you to follow me on this one, but maybe meet me in the middle. There is so much misinformation and poor messaging that when somebody isn't wearing a mask or thinks they're in their 20s or 30s so maybe it would be better if I just hurry up and catch this stuff, some of that is on us as a system in a society. We should be a bit sympathetic if not empathetic to the reflection of our own failures on that.
And don't get me wrong, I love morbid irony as much as anybody. There was a guy in Southeast Texas whose last words were "fuck that alligator" then he jumped in and the alligator ate him. That is darkly funny. But that is on the very extreme spectrum and if it was happening over and over or somebody was lumping that in with a number of vague gradients related to alligators it would become a whole lot less funny that people were dying.
