Some of it will eventually impact you. I have a relative who lost her job because she wouldn’t take the Covid vaccine. She worked remotely for a state government, was in her 20s, and did not have in person interactions with people. She was offered the opportunity to take a lower position with less pay that would require her to work in person with people, but she wouldn’t need to be vaccinated per govt requirements. She declined.

At what point do we care? Who needs to be impacted before it’s important?

I actually struggle with this because my inclination is not to care at all. Just leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone and we can all live together. But in practice, in reality, it doesn’t work like that.

This sentiment is one point the author forgot to mention.

What will be the concequence of 'Reality is just a game now?": Political Apathy.

"Who the f* knows and why should I care?" is the only way to ensure harmonious counion with those around you.

How do you know when a republic is in it's death throes? when " knowing about or forming a opinion about these things is pointless for the individual.".

History has showed us that a disinterested populace leads to economic stagnation and political consolidation.

Unfortunately political apathy is no longer an option. "Silence is Violence", and you will be forced into taking a side, even if you are just trying to dine outside in a restaurant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxjJPZF4P_s

This would be sound advice, were it not for the fact that you could be going along minding your own business and someone else decides to make you a prop in their opinion theater.

> The answer to all of the questions is: "Who the f* knows and why should I care?".

A whole lot of people thought this.

Then the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Now, they the f* knew. And they knew why--because they suddenly couldn't get medicine or medical care.
