Long-time lurker here building up the courage to post.
I'm a "grey" - but crucially can appreciate others' viewpoints. Most dementors cannot, and this is the problem. If you express a dissenting view, you "don't care if older people/HCPs/kids die".
I think it's very dangerous for people to bandy about this "new normal" stuff. To people at rock bottom, how will "this is life now, it'll never get better" make them feel? What if they think "it's not worth living"? I'd love "new normal" to be consigned to the bin.
Along with "it's not hard". It may not be for some, but if that's really true, then they are making less of a sacrifice than those finding it hellish. Yet they seem to think it makes them more noble or selfless.
Dementors aren't those who have different views on how to get out of lockdown. They're the ones posting judgy stuff, constantly hectoring STAY THE FUCK AT HOME at people who already are doing, making people feel bad for doing stuff within the rules because of their overzealous interpretation (shopping if you're not down to your last bean, buying non-essential chocolate or wine at a weekly shop, getting a takeaway delivered, going for a walk outside because it's not "life or death"), posting every story about rising infection rates with near-glee, suggesting if you don't want to stay in your house in lockdown forever, you want people to die/hate spending time with your own kids/are selfish/only care about money/want to stab nurses in the back/have no resilience. The ones making me feel shit every time I log on to FB.
I don't think it splits along political lines either - I don't like the idea that it will, as it encourages an us v them mentality and black and white thinking. I'm not right-wing or pro-Brexit, but I don't think a huge recession doesn't matter, or that the economic fallout is no big deal. These things all affect people's lives. I do see a correlation between the gobbiest people on both sides of the political debate, and dementors now.
