I’m honestly disheartened with many leftists that do not mask. I have had otherwise great people just completely fail the covid protection litmus test, and it’s harrowing. I’m tired of being socially ostracized for masking and treated like I have the plague by the greater capitalist hellscape, to see other comrades not even take into account masking is truly ugh.

I get it that’s hard to accept, idk, giving up your (unprotected, so most) of your social life because you wear a respirator and that you will have to do it forever, but for me it ties in with the otherwise completely scientific ML analysis I have of the world.

I just wish it didn’t feel that isolating, even among communists, regarding such a basic fact about bodily consent and empathy and overall survival in capitalism. As proletarians, we don’t have expensive private healthcare, so it’s even more important to not get sick, yet I see people promoting the vax-and-forget rhetoric…

It’s so dissapointing, how am I supposed to organize with people, when everyone else treats you like the plague for engaging in prevention mechanisms with Covid? I go outside and if not harassed I get treated like a weird outcast, which I am used to because of my politics, but I really do not see how to enagage with such people.
