The worst thing was coming out to my parents as anti-jab, which I hammed to shit as just another coming out as gay or trans. The Jab reached my location and age bracket, and my mother called as she used to work in the health industry around the staff currently giving the super-specific immune retooling which doesn't work 60% of the time and leaves your immune system highly tooled uselessly against other variants not to mention the other diseases we are statistically mistaking for Chinese Flu. I overacted until they wanted to be serious, and I went over the facts until they wanted to be emotional. It went ok. My body, my choice! (It was very sad.)
As for the "If you see something, say something" Ads, when the fuck did that become okay?
WWII
That was the turning point for all this. Nazi books were burnt without a sense of irony. Under the Allied Military Government of Germany, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment, regardless of the time spent in concentration camps. They don't exactly show the gays being liberated in Band of Brothers, now do they? Reparations and state pensions available to other groups were refused to gay men, who were still classified as criminals; the 1935 version of
§175 StGB remained in force in West Germany until 1969 because it was a "healthy law" (as Chancellor Adenauer called it in 1962). Yet we never hear about any of this because society is now to be managed lest another evil nazi emerge.
Everything became a careful cultivation of everything fake and gay, and if we don't Bilge pump the reality out of the culture it will build up and sink the vast log of shit our civilization has become. Just like in every vast intervention that idiot Americans call socialism, the midwits call progress, and the galaxy brains call decadency the system must deal with naysayers. It must punish them, but it can't deal with them top down or the scheme would be obvious. So, bullshit "If you see something, say something" normalization of civil division and civil infighting has been the rule not the exception.
Its just that there was a cold war on, so America still had to pretend to be cool and accepting. Now that last mask has slipped and the new normal has begun. This needs to happen as soon as possible because we need to go back to the things we miss and love. The new normal means Hope. We have suffered enough. We will build back better. If you see something, say something. In these troubled times, we must all come together. Now its up to you. We will Make America Great Again. Hate has no place in America. Do your part.
Its all so tiring.
