It is absolutely 100% what you said. But I understand backpedaling after being called out for saying something so vile.

Let's go to the tape, shall we?

On a certain website that I believe we're not allowed to mention by name, I have gone back and found a list of all 104 of your archived posts on Board 8. Let's review.

First off, here's a good one which I find ironic, given your current stance about how offended you are by what I posted:

March 20th, 12:38 PM, Coronavirus Topic 4: "I cannot believe people are STILL downplaying this because they might not personally die. Our species is literally too dumb to live."

Yes, I agree Tim. People downplaying the Coronavirus because they might not personally be affected by it is terrible. It's almost like I had a similar thought and made a post about that. Let's fast forward.

April 1st, 10:32 AM, Politics Containment Topic 288: "Jesus christ" in response to a post from me reading "One good thing I'll say about the quarantine is that it's nice to see obnoxious, privileged "conservative" white dudes actually having to experience hardship for the first time in their lives, and complaining about how it's unfair that the actions of society negatively impact them for once."

While I understand your annoyance, given that you already dislike me and didn't seek out the context behind the statement because you automatically believed the worst about what I said and you're not intellectually ambitious enough to learn new information that doesn't confirm your pre-existing biases, allow me to provide context anyway.

Those people you were complaining about in that earlier post I quoted? Yeah, I don't know if you just ignore their messages because they're "conservatives" and thus you guys are all on the same team and can never level criticism towards one another at any time...but there are posters in the politics topics named SmartMuffin and SephirothG. Their whole MO is generally the whole libertarian mindset of "I don't give a shit about the negative impacts of issue X, Y, or Z, because it doesn't negatively affect ME", usually in a racist, sexist, homophobia, or just generally anti-liberal fashion because, well, let's face it...conservatives don't have any ideology other than "liberals=bad".

With regards to the coronavirus, we've had a great deal of lockdowns and quarantines, and a lot of shopping has ceased and businesses are shuttering their doors for the time being. In response to this, while people like you, Tim, are out working hard and catching the coronavirus as a result of having a hands-on job, these entitled little douchebags, who have never experienced any REAL hardship of any kind, have recently taken to the politics topics to whine about how the quarantine is infringing on their civil rights, or it's negatively impacting their portfolio, or they can't go out to their favorite bar on a Friday night. While there are people genuinely suffering and afflicted by the Coronavirus (yourself included, remember), their concern is the petty, minor impact on their already safe and privileged lives.

MY post was specifically directed to the fact that, said douchebags, who have a LONG history of sneering whenever the very THOUGHT of having empathy towards the plight of others, are now bitching and moaning and whining because, for the first time in their privileged lives, they're experiencing (a VERY minimal) level of hardship, and suddenly we as a society need to drop EVERYTHING to reset society to the way it was for THEM. My point was that the Coronavirus sucks. It sucks to get sick. It sucks to worry about your relatives getting sick or potentially dying. It sucks that, even if everything is safe and healthy, the quarantine IS causing hardships. But at the very least, those smug assholes are experiencing the EXACT same hardship as everyone else for once in their lives, and their whining provides a modicum of schadenfreude.
