Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?

I’m getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, “being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged” or “you’re a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you” in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I’m not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

    I mean I read the following

    She’s also sorry, and I say it’s fine because I want her to feel better and recover, but secretly I’m fucking raging.

    As raging at her. That’s what it seems to convey to me. If not, then yeah, disregard me.

      I am fairly sure that its more along the lines of “fucking raging” at the 7th red light in a row on your 40 minute commute when you just want to be home after a double shift

      Not like baying for blood, but like, GAAHH. I imagine the person who wrote that post spent exactly as long thinking of what words to use there as they took to type them out, it wasn’t an effort post

      I could also be wrong, but this is hexbear and we’re supposed to assume good faith, especially in the context of an emotional vent post

        Literally thank you. I thought of putting an edit under the post, but we’re all grown ups. I just needed a space to unload my feelings when unloading on my partner wasn’t helpful.
