I heard a guy say he would forever judge people solely based on the way they handled themselves during covid. It's all he needed to know.
I agree. If that psyop worked on you, then you need more help than I can give you, and you're too dangerously naive for me to allow you to get too close. I won't hate you for it, but I'll have to keep my distance.
I walked away from several long-time friendships after that mess.
