Let me explain something to you. I don't give a shit if I can go to the movies or not. I have already decided that they can fire me when (not if) they decide to make it a condition of employment. I can live without the gym, and I sure as fuck can go a few decades foregoing the theater.
The problem is not what they are doing now. It is that people are too blind to see where it is going. If your are dumb enough to believe it ends with a vaccine, you are deluded and willfully blind.
I will also apologize for my actions and putting everybody in such grave danger. I'm sure the "punk" thing to do would be to acquiesce to the demands of society for safety. At least that was what the popular opinion was back in the day. "Conformity or die" was our rallying cry.
Hahah I know exactly where it is going; this is going to end in a lecture about fiat currency
snooooore and societal collapse if I am not careful. That's why you guys have to hoover trolly protest and riot vids from farflung places to feed your fantasies, packaged with ominous obviously fake voiceovers -- did you see them vaccinate someone? tackles with needles? no you most definitely did not -- to make you shiver with glee as you fondle your collectible silver. You are not a punk; you are a crank. Doomers gonna doom.
Lifting all covid restrictions in Alberta passed without any acknowledgement from you at all, it didn't fit with the whole apocalyptic scenario. But, you breezed on past it and found a new bone to gnaw. I knew, when I finally got to live three blissful weeks of blessed summer, that I'd come back here and find you guys still grousing away, worrying the covid nonsense like a basset hound with a pig's ear. Grouse, grouse, grouse, gnaw, gnaw, gnaw.
Yes, they are coming for you, and it is your own damn fault. I hang out with a bunch of supposed "conservative" guys steeped in principle, I'd expect them to argue stuff like "this is America (or hell, Canada, too, any liberal democracy) we don't have to show papers until we get to a border", free travel about the country, government doesn't get to foist creepy soft-power enforcement on private businesses in a sneaky way and expect them to do the dirty work, emergency powers need to be revisited regularly and renewed by accountable politicians going on record with votes instead of sniping from the sidelines like a bunch of cowards waiting for the governor to stick his neck out too far, that kind of thing. Hell, you want to protest for free, paperless ingress and egress I will take my shirt off and whale away on my squeezebox (ouch, nippies) and torch my vaxx card like Sukie -- I'm not going anywhere I have to show it, either. That is principle, and it doesn't exist any more on the right.
Instead I see you guys lap up obvious fear porn and medical horseshit quackery, every linkie comes chock-full of the usual garbage supplement and silver-exchange ads, and at the bottom of it all is some chucklehead arguing in bad faith or downright trying to fool me. Thank God for parler and all those quarantine sites that contain the asshattery and keep regular folks from seeing what drooling idiots you really are, if this keeps up people are going to doubt your capacity for operating motor vehicles and I can't say I'd put up too much of a fuss if they yanked your license and made you take your wheelie everywhere, especially if you took your shirt off.
