“Our generation doesn’t talk about politics”

•• Okay, so who do you know who to vote for?

• Whoever’s going to give me free stuff and pay my college loans.

•• Okay, so those same people created this whole new Covid world, where you have to wear masks, get Covid tested if you THINK you have it. They shut your business if it was deemed non-essential, putting many businesses out of business for good; workers lost their jobs; alcoholism, drug abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, suicides, all increased, as a result.

• Yes, but it didn’t affect me.

•• Okay, did you get tested for Covid ?

• Yes, and I was negative. But then I got a call from somebody from the government. I told them I tested negative. They told me they had me down as testing positive. I argued with them to no avail. They told me I need to self quarantine for 2 weeks. That if I didn’t, I would be subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. They also wanted to know the names of everyone I was in contact for the prior week, and give them their phone numbers.

•• So, what did you do ?

• I did what they said and stayed home for 2 weeks.

•• Okay, did you think that was fair ?

• No, I shouldn’t have been told to stay home and they have no right asking for other people’s names and phone numbers. I mean, how is the government even allowed to do such a thing ?

•• Right, so it’s not just about the free stuff anymore. Now, you’ve been personally affected. Now you know what it’s like when government gets out of control and tries to control you. So maybe, just maybe, you’ll start opening up your mind to see what else government is doing that you don’t agree with.

• You’re right.

•• Now, you’re becoming aware. When you start thinking for yourself and are not concerned what your friends, family think, what is the accepted “norm.” But to decide for yourself, what YOU think. So talking about politics isn’t so bad after all, is it ?

• No. / Done
