God imagine back we had an entire generation of people, who when faced with one of the greatest evils the world had ever known wordlessly rolled up their sleeves and went to work? They died on the beaches of the Pacific, got mulched in the fields of Normandy. They rationed back home, and left the comfort of their homes to sweat day in and day out in the factory.I'm at a birthday party right now with 20 people I haven't seen all year, some complete strangers. There is an old lady wearing the mask, she is the only one. I'm not afraid of 99% survival.
Because they understood something that modern Americans cannot wrap their heads around. Sacrifice. They did all of this because they knew the problem wouldn't go away if we ignore it.
I'm sorry, but it's goddamn pathetic that now, with all that's being asked of us is to put a strip of cloth across our faces and keep six feet apart we're failing spectacularly. We can't even do this without melting down in front of baristas, or screaming in the checkout line at Target.
I'm proud you could be a special snowflake for another day. God forbid you ever have to give up an iota of effort to make the world a better place.
