beware the white moderate

I haven't left my apartment since super depressing Tuesday. Appointments and classes keep getting cancelled on account of everyone getting sick. I guess with the covid19 corona virus thing, people are being extra careful.

Still trying to get over my social media withdrawal. It's a crutch for distractability. It's something to do when I don't know what else to do, which is always. Constantly updated with new information and the potential for rewarding likes and retweets. It's the best way to get news as it's happening, with all sorts of details you won't see on TV. Most of what's going on doesn't get covered by corporate media at all.

I don't really want to know what's going on anymore. It's hell and there's nothing we can do about it. Bernie's one of a kind, a civil rights leader like no other to gain such prominence in my lifetime.. and after investing five years and the blood sweat and tears of millions, he's failed. Who is going to do better? Better luck in another 40 years? We don't have another 40 years.

I quit Twitter because it's addictive and probably not healthy. I'm feeling more negative than most, and probably shouldn't be spreading that anyhow. I quit Facebook though, because I hate everyone. I'm finding it really difficult to be understanding. They have fears too, right? So did the Nazis. That's what propaganda does. I hate how gullible people are. They can be lulled into anything.

Honestly, what kind of person opposes someone like Bernie? Every MSNBC viewer I know - and they have the gall to proclaim Trump's the Nazi. Assholes.
