      since the lockdowns ended most of society has just been getting infected over and over by a dangerous disease that literally damages cognitive functioning—and even most communists can’t be bothered to even wear a mask

      the ongoing pandemic has infinitely more to do with broken brains than the half-assed lockdowns

        People went online in greater numbers than before though, that’s just a fact, and it definitely didn’t help either. But COVID also isn’t helping.

        I think the barrage of bourgeois-fascist propaganda via online might have a greater effect just because if brain damage directly caused people to be right wing we’d see people on here becoming more right-wing too. Unless being a leftist prior to brain damage is somehow an inoculation to this phenomenon or something. Like, why is “US shouldn’t arrest people outside its borders to steal their oil” harder to understand to a brain damaged person than “US can arrest people outside its borders because Maduro is evil”?
