Desperately lonely wannabe activist in #hillsboro near #Portland in the Pacific Northwest. (#PDX))
Always looking for ways to meet with people who live nearby so we can organize our community. Not… succeeding for 20 years is kind of discouraging.

  • @[email protected] @[email protected] Every time I hear someone saying people are afraid of change, I always suspect they’re just butthurt because they get inordinate benefit from that change. People actually love change, and enthusiastically embrace it, when it’s a change for the better. Nobody is afraid to unwrap their birthday presents! People aren’t afraid of change; they’re afraid of marketing bullshitting them, of charlatans with yet another form of exploitation who are all whining in chorus about how much people fear change.

    So… don’t worry about being reluctant to take risks, I say. It might be irrational, but it also might not be wrong. Try to do what’s best for you. If vaccines are less risky than covid, then you’ll fear them less than covid, assuming these vaccines even prevent covid in the first place. If I want to convince you to take a vaccine, it’s on me to give you the power to determine for yourself whether I’m full of shit. Just demonizing you as a redneck luddite and blaming you for making people sick isn’t going to accomplish anything.
