Da truth of da matter is, da way of life that most knew is done and as a result, due to that fact, to gain any semblance of normalcy, many are willing to put themselves and others at risk (including their so called friends and loved ones) to gain even a slither of that. This is da new normal and due to entitlement or otherwise, many aren't willing to yet accept that as a fact, unable or unwilling to adapt. Tying their value and self worth to productivity or monetary value. Despite da complaints of being oppressed, many are and were quite in love with da world around them, a world that those same capitalists, corporatists & colonialists created for them as to make them feel as though their lives matter. Refusing to accept this as a new reality and thus, willing to fight tooth and nail to maintain a system or structure that never had them in mind in da first place. Also factor in da desperation for social interaction & here we are, folks are essentially in a rush to go to da slaughterhouse.
