People who brought up these worries about the indirect impacts of COVID lockdowns were shouted down as heretics. Now if you don't support full lockdowns and shelter-in-place, you're supporting genocide against the immunocompromised, minorities, etc. (according to Twitter, company Slack, etc.).

TFA has a great line about many rites of passage being effectively stolen from a generation. That's something they'll never get back, and the fallout is something we'll be observing for decades to come.



Twitter is not real life.


It's junior high. But with grown adults doing the teasing and bullying.


But Twitter has this annoying tendency to cancel the accounts of people who say things they don't agree with, irrespective of whether those things are true.


They're doing those people a favor. Hell, even Trump is better off doing fun things instead of spending his time spewing, and reading, the toxicity of Twitter


It is when it's the real life accounts of coworkers who actively believe that, and similarly share these sentiments on the company Slack.


Is is for (many) Twitter users. :(
