I won't take a Nazi vaccine or one under authoritarian control. I have my COVID-19 vaccines and all the boosters! I fear fascists and anti-intellectuals.
How can we trust anything anymore?

The future we were promised: "you'll all be chilling and eating figs under the sun while the computers will do all the work"
