Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.

What I feel is a constant pressure in my skull and I don't have an internet version of myself that I'm discordant with. You, on the other hand, are lying publicly and then crying about it on streams. I'm not going to learn anything either way, just so you know. Whether you do or you don't. But IF I GUT SOME KID IN FRONT OF IT'S PARENTS.... YOU... ARE going to learn something. It's better for everyone if you just let me stop working. I'm not ever going to let it go. The threat will never stop. And your kids will pay the price for WHAT you are doing to me. What are you doing to me? Think of a word to describe it. YOU should be more concerned with the guilt and shame YOU are going to have to live with when ignoring me doesn't work. I don't ever stop. I don't ever put the phone down and let it go. When I put the phone down I pick the knife up. You are taking all the wrong lessons from this and you're doing it deliberately."
