[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add:  I used to think that whole focus on individualism and only taking care of yourself, blaming others for their own problems, was a more conservative stance.  But this whole "you should learn better coping mechanisms to parenting in a global pandemic that has vast material repercussions, particularly for children" is a line I see largely from progressives.

I don't get why we are constantly shamed to think about others (regarding covid spread) but told we have to deal with the ramifications school closures on our own.[/quote]

But people buy into capitalism. So it’s not ok when it’s inconvenient for you? Universal healthcare is often shutdown for the same reason, the right to own a gun, etc. People’s individual rights are more important than a community.

Covid showed parents that they are no different,[b] you decided to have this child [/b]and you now have to figure out a way to take care of them for this period of time with little community assistance.

As a teacher, I don’t think it’s right but I also think that it’s not surprising given our society’s beliefs and priorities.[/quote]

Right, no one should care about others because "we buy into capitalism".  Ergo, no one should care about each other getting covid.

Neato how you've proved the issue, just from a cynic perspective versus a bootstrap perspective.[/quote]
