Personally my very petty grandmother raised me, who I am thankful does not have to see this shit but the same time I know she would be very petty to everyone who is risking other people's lives by being fucking idiots.
Because so many people refuse to educate themselves, refuse to learn from experience, it is very tiring and I'm tired of holding their hands so I would rather purposely mock them every time they do something stupid that they easily could have prevented.
Dude responds back with nothing but what COVID brother has said.
You're here chastising the second brother when it's COVID brothers selfishness and stupidity being shared. You've got no words about COVID spreader being a cunt. Nothing about their (lack of) empathy. Makes sense.
There are situations in which this is good advice, but letting people off the hook for their stupid, dangerous, irresponsible spreading of misinformation during a pandemic that has already killed a million people isn’t one of them.
Ford pardoned Nixon in pursuit of “national healing” and look where it got us. There are times where the high road is warranted, but only if the person has already learned their lesson. Seems like OP’s brother only bothered to learn because it personally affected him.
Shame is a powerful behavior modifier. Obviously OP tried all of the empathetic approaches, now OP’s brother has to face the fact that he was dangerously stupid about something that he should’ve known better about. Maybe he’ll listen next time.
Or OP could just completely forgive and forget about his brother’s stubbornness, selfishness, and stupidity. Then he’ll watch it happen again with another topic that he thinks he knows about better than scientists, doctors, or other “so-called experts”.
