Thought this might spur some decent discussion. Lots of libs in the comments but a few good points made.

And the reality is that masks are easily procured and distributed where it is possible, which is a fair amount of places!

Are you telling me or American Society in whole? I mask, you think you're gonna tell me something I don't already know?

That is not a matter of logistics and lack of holistic analysis, but a matter of will

Well you better hope that's not the case, cause if it's a battle between your will and the dumb atomized mass of American society, then you're gonna lose

So maybe we should take the need to perform a holistic analysis a little more seriously

Where is your analysis?

There's no united left media ecosystem that can provide a counternarrative to the dual threats of covid denialism and liberal post-pandemic assurances, orgs serious about combating these scourges should be collating long covid data and testimony and sensationalizing it at arenas of media virality like town halls and school board meetings, a mirror strategy to the right's anti-woke crusades at local level during the Biden years.....that's just the start

Did you know that? By the rest of your posts you seem more concerned about "scolds" on the wrong side of the fence correctly criticizing a blind spot in your movements than the fact that these cadres exist and do this work you are telling me is impossible and also not happening. Are you helping to make it happen?

Well you better hope that’s not the case, cause if it’s a battle between your will and the dumb atomized mass of American society, then you’re gonna lose

...and they say I'm a "doomer"! Then what's the point of any of this? You've proven the scolds right.

You do understand organizational success is independent of your individualistic WILL? Covid denialism is the result of organization, not willpower, so unlike the scolds in that thread we collectively have to counter-organize against it. And we don't do that by blaming covid denialism on the left......

Hence, we're back to seeing the forest instead of the trees, which was my whole point the entire time

....they've repeatedly talked about their work in covid organising why are you acting like they arent organising? Your behaviour is uncomradely and reeks of bad faith.
