1/ Feeling really terrible for the children right now. It must be so hard for them to stay home in a warm house, with three square meals a day, electric lights, video games, streaming media, video games, all of their friends available via webcam, and absolutely zero danger.

6/ I only wish that this generation of children could have had a normal upbringing during the Revolutary War, or the Civil War, or WWI or WWII, or the Great Depression, and not during this 12 months of lockdown which will harm them forever https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1357386217600524295 …

7/ Indeed. I'm not arguing that it's fun for everyone. I'm just arguing that most generations have far bigger trials. Did you get drafted and sent to fight the Germans? Sent to Korea? Sent to Vietnam? Forced to leave school and age 12 and work? no? https://twitter.com/GeoGDF01/status/1357388075903705089 …

8/ exactly as I said, my contempt is for the adults who are framing a somewhat-necessary inconvenience as "cruel and unnecessary abuse", instead of telling their kids "yes, sometimes life is hard"https://twitter.com/robkroese/status/1357388952068620289 …

10/ yes my point is not "the policy was perfectly calibrated and well implemented". My point is "this is well within the bellcurve for even wealthy first world norms, and pretending it's not is snow-flake-ism" https://twitter.com/GeoGDF01/status/1357389430877741059 …

11/ ...and this woe-is-me video from some kid that's going around. ...with the obligatory "watch the whole thing". I'm old enough (i.e. more than 6 months old) that I remember when it was the left tweeting stupid emo shit and saying "don't look away! don't look away!".

12/ saying "being distanced from your friends for 12 months sucks, but it's not the worst thing in the world" has absolutely nothing to do with autism or introversion even if you love people, this is a temporary inconvenience https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1357390828004663299 …

13/ I remember my family moving from NJ to MS when I was 9. Lost my entire friend group overnight, made zero new friends in MS. Was lonely AF for 2 years. Went off to college, friends graduated, I was friendless for the last 1.5 years. Off to Boston, no friends for 2 yrs.

14/ Life often sucks. People get targeted for physical attacks (middle school), social ostracism (other stages), suffer bankruptcies, severe loneliness, involuntary celibacy, heart break, divorce, deaths of loved ones It's all in the normal deck of cards This is w/i bellcurve

15/ There are crazy people out there. You can find proposals for stupid thing X 365 days a year if you look for it. There are absolutely ZERO serious proposals for lockdown. People are already getting vaccinated. https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1357391844276129793 …

18/ Keep repeating this made up talking point, which I've already explicitly disclaimed twice. It's good rhetoric, and it will convince people.https://twitter.com/upstatefederlst/status/1357392368845131776 …

19/ Again this is drastically misunderstanding my point I'm saying that the loneliness and the sadness is real...but that NORMAL LIFE has a large degree of loneliness and sadness, and we're being asked to call a minor / typical inconvenience a war crime https://twitter.com/ITBeHa/status/1357392623938523136 …

21/ I strongly agree that remote school is absolute garbage. OTOH, in person school is absolute garbage as well. * in remote school, you learn nothing - same as in actual school * ...but at least you don't get beaten uphttps://twitter.com/Laserpig_Utopia/status/1357393119201869824 …
