Happened with a lot of that group during the pandemic. Loved one would die, but they'd still bitch about the vaccine.

Also, just a heads up if you care. You wrote "partying" when you meant "paying". I'm pretty sure.

but they’d still bitch about the vaccine.

My favorite were the ones that refused the vaccine, mocked others for getting "the jab", posted daily on social media how the government was evil for mandating vaccinations (which it wasn't). And then, after they contracted covid and at the 11th hour dying from the infection, they beg for the vaccination (which would be like throwing a cup of water on a wild fire) and cry about the unfairness as they wither away and die.

Fuck anti-vaxxers

Idk, fuck anti-vaxxers and all, but watching anyone wither and die as they beg... is pretty fucked up for anyone to see. I do ICU nursing, and the pandemic left me with some ptsd; 10/10 wouldn't recommend

Please don't get me wrong. I am not suggesting schadenfreude. I just can't get over the hypocritical nature of their attitude.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 11 hours ago

I am. Schadenfreude is a word for a reason, after all.

I find compassion for my patients, even as I hope they die and all their idiocy dies with them... swiftly. I'm tired of living in a world that is actively being made worse by their ilk.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thanks, and yeah I remember. One older guy was dying in the hospital because his lungs were practically melting and he was asked if he regretted not getting the vaccine. He replied that not only did he not regret it, but that he'd do the same thing again given the chance. He literally died rather than change his mind. It's the definition of insanity.

It's a cult and it is so freaking weird.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 4 hours ago

All cults are evil. And remember, most mainstream religions are colts too. Christianity started as a Jesus cult, don't forget.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Life is tough.

If you follow me, ill tell you why those other people are worse than you.

Then we can take their stuff together.
