A Plague of Idiocy

No more troubling dreams to report - just a troubling reality.  Well, possible reality, but I'm taking evasive action - not that I'm able to talk about that yet.  Talking of reality, though, I am getting increasingly frustrated with all the idiots, naysayers, contrarians and just plain irresponsible twats that the coronavirus pandemic has flushed out from under their rocks.  The litany of ignorance I see in the comments following just about any online article about the pandemic are depressing.  These are people seemingly incapable of grasping the most basic of facts, unable to accept evidence which conflicts with their own narrow view.  They decided, you see, that Covid-19 is no worse than the flu and that the only people who die from it are 'already at death's door', and nothing is going to convince the otherwise.  Those scientists who say otherwise, they don't know what they're talking about - it is just common sense isn't it?  And they definitely won't be wearing a mask - a diabolical liberty, that is, an infringement of some rights or other.  In fact, this whole pandemic has been a sham, an excuse for the government to exert more control over people's lives.  Well, these guys aren't sheep like everyone else, they aren't going to go along with the conspiracy, they aren't going to be inoculated with any of these so-called vaccines being developed by Bill Gates - you'll just end up with mind-controlling microchips in your blood stream.

I've reached the stage of just wishing that all these cranks and morons would piss off to their own island somewhere - they could all not wear masks, not take vaccines or observe social distancing to their hearts' content, without endangering anyone else.  If we're really lucky, they'll all infect each other and fucking die.  At which point, we can expect the chorus of hand-wringing conservatives admonishing me for advocating violence.  The self same idiots who spend their time accusing people on the left of being over-sensitive snowflakes.  Fucking hypocrites.  You see how wound up these people have made me?  I can do without the stress, but I just can't help it - it is like watching the march of the morons.  Increasingly, it feels as if everything is running backwards, as science and reason are rejected in favour of ignorance and bigotry.  So, how do we lure these cretins to that island?  Actually, even better than an island, some kind of sealed environment, a ship perhaps?  We could tell them that is a sort of 'Ark', designed to preserve the cream of humanity and that they've all been selected.  Because if there is one thing one can be sure of about these people, it is their sense of self-importance, that they are clearly superior because they can see through all the mundane 'nonsense' peddled by those scientists and other intellectuals.  So, there would be no problem in luring them aboard our hypothetical ship.  Then we can just keep them sailing around until they all die.  If worst comes to worst, we can always scuttle it and send them into the ocean depths.  I know, I know, I'm advocating mass murder again - tough shit, right wing snowflakes.
