as being the most important question for anyone wants to live without the state and capitalism, because that's the entire reason why those tangled structures continue to survive and spread across the planet. If people lived in more isolated communities and there were no planes and cars, then it would be harder for something as simple as a cold virus to destabilize everyone's life all at once.

I've been wondering over the past couple days whether i should just try and stop thinking about the coronavirus and abandon social media altogether, but my life was already kinda boring and troubled so that just wouldn't get me anywhere. I've come to realize that the biggest issue with capitalism is that everybody's everything is "their own business", and judgement is deferred to these creepy humanist ideologies, buzzwords, and corporate codes of conduct. The isolation has benefits for pleasure seeking but it doesn't really matter when humans were not fit to live on fixed schedules and deferred gratification. The one major positive about this outbreak i've seen is that now americans are being forced to question the cruelty of not getting payed for sick leave, and maybe this will undermine the lives of those who live to make money and show off their value to society as an individual. However, i think most positive predictions about the world of people are pretty naive. I just keep wondering how long it's going to take for this whole thing to blow over, 2 months? Half a year? Never? Are we now in a permanent state of ideological/sociological crisis?
