Social shaming around covid seems... complicated to me. On one hand yes spreading the disease is really bad, but on the other hand we don't have the capacity to judge other people's mental health or how much them "partying" might be saving them from great suffering or suicide.

like, obviously there are assholes who don't care, the conspiracy theorists who think it's exaggerated, etc. - but still I mean honestly asking humans to stay so isolated for 7 months without a definite end date is a really fucking intense thing to do.

You might be more privileged than them. You might have regular access to a quarantined bubble community. You might be living in a slightly less locked down city. You might just naturally be better at isolation, or more mentally healthy in general. You might have more support.

It seems pretty weird that you have so little compassion for being talking about left wing opinions, and so much for people who literally let people because, to quote a prominent youtube figure, "masks are for pussies"?

Sure, I could agree that's a different issue if people were partying outside with a small number of people and basic safety (masks/distance), but that's not often the case, I'm afraid.
