Too Nasty About Characters

Black Myths Podcast did a whole episode talking about the self made mythologizing of Obama that's worth a listen

In his recent self-aggrandizing memoir "A Promised Land," Obama defends his drone program through a messiah complex; he writes, "I wanted somehow to save them... And yet the world they were a part of, and the machinery I commanded, more often had me killing them instead." President Obama would have the reader believe he wanted to help the suspected terrorist but simply couldn't. In reality, he consciously and undemocratically decided the fates of thousands of lives, without due process.

With the exception of the wars themselves, the claim that former President Barack Obama is a war criminal also lies within the double-tap initiative. Double-tap drone strikes are as disturbing as they sound; these attacks are follow-up strikes on first

"The best contribution you can make to the Palestinian cause is your struggle against your retrogressive regimes.”

What is your explanation for these daily massacres in Gaza and throughout Palestine?

Source details and larger version.

I have no close family who would or could take care of me if I became disabled with long covid!

no financial safety net either!

I own and operate a fitness business that employs 17 people, I need to stay healthy to do that

my pals with long covid and others like them deserve to be in public without risking reinfection

if I have asymptomatic covid, I would not want to pass it on to others

I am less easily identified in public with a mask on

strangers don’t make casual conversation with me when I’m running errands

I don’t have to have any specific facial expression

I don’t have to put any makeup on the lower two thirds of my face!

- SARS-CoV-2 remains prevalent and it is damaging everyone’s immune systems making other illnesses more severe.

- I don’t believe in the unnecessary and incessant spread of disease especially in the U.S. where we have no robust or reliable social safety nets and where hospitals are likely to get you sick while you’re seeking necessary care. I refuse to be part of the problem and also refuse to harm myself or the people around me.

- I am officially diagnosed with autism and ADHD, so I’ve had lifelong struggles with executive dysfunction and my brain already produces less dopamine than neurotypical brains. SARS-CoV-2 depletes your brain of dopamine - I can’t afford to malnourish my brain of dopamine further than its natural state or worsen my executive dysfunction.

- SARS-CoV-2 causes brain damage even with “mild” or asymptomatic infections. I don’t want cumulative, degenerative brain damage; that should be a no-brainer (pun-intended.)

- There is no sterilizing vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 as it stands. We also don’t have proper clean air infrastructure. And the working class cannot afford to be sick or suddenly disabled. Even when we do get a sterilizing vaccine I will continue to mask in public spaces and around people who don’t mask in public spaces because I don’t want other illnesses and I’m through with the normalization of spreading disease in a country that was founded on genocide / by colonizers who intentionally spread disease to indigenous peoples.
