We've been in facebook debates with people unhappy with the level of oppression. The colour coded system used here (ontario) to scare us based on the level of covid cases has triggered people to develop "level envy" wherein they see other communities with a scarier colour code and they start demanding an "upgrade" to a higher level of oppression. When we tell them that they themselves are free to pretend that they are in that category and to lock themselves down they have a meltdown and can't form a logical response. Essentially, they want their neighbours to be further oppressed along with themselves. People are getting weirder and weirder.

Wow! That's some dark poetry you're producing. True though.
