I don't think anyone can capture it better than this. There's so many great details here.

It was a retarded time. Taught me a lot about humanity.

There's a reason why the US had a disproportional amount of COVID deaths and it has nothing to do with conspiracy theories.

I just see a tyrannical LEO refusing to accept what a representative of private property is telling him. Thinks hes above the law cause of the badge

Walmart employee tried to grab me and chase me down when I walked into one of the stores without a mask. Everyone didn’t just suddenly decide to go full retard, they’ve just always been fully retarded.

ok so if you end up on a surgery table for some reason i'll assume you'll be ok if none of the nurses and doctors there wore surgical masks right bc it doesn't help prevent spread of anything

Watching Aster cook on a level above literally everyone else and seeing the dumbass discourse around him must be what it was like living thru Kubrick getting shit for everything post 2001

Honestly the problem is shutting down businesses and schools, masks and vaccines were like, something we were already doing during flu season anyway. They should have kept everything open, advised old people to stay home, handed out free masks, done deal.

The attempt to make Eddington a thing by you paid shills and losers is HYSTERICAL. The film was unwatchably bad.

I never got the vax or wore a mask.

Okay cool movie about a store full of smart people and a retarded cowboy who is playing with people’s lives.

I’m not saying this didn’t happen but it’s so bizzare to hear/see people talk about this stuff. Living in the south, it’s like covid never even happened. Nobody ever wore a mask and nobody cared if you were vaccinated.

man that took me back truly pathetic times 80% of people are gimps

It was retarded. Not based on science. Based on compliance. The sheeple proved who they were.

I found it amusing that one day, banks went from not allowing you to wear a mask in the bank to requiring you to wear a mask in the bank.

Yeah, it was pretty disheartening realizing how many people were just order-followers at heart. That was actually worse than seeing how many were actually dumb enough to believe the bullshit they were all being fed.

This hardly captures how insane it was.

Got to love googles description. The movie you are looking for is Ari Aster's satirical neo-Western thriller Eddington (film) (2025), which features a scene where a belligerent, unmasked sheriff is denied service in a local grocery store.

Just watched this movie for the first time the other day and I was shocked about how many details they got right about how stupid people were back then.

I distinctly remember waiting in the customs line at JFK coming back from Germany. We were 18 months into this bullshit. Some old liberal white woman started yelling at a maskless guy, and several of us just took ours off and began piling on her. Restored my faith in humanity.

Imagine all the people that are going to start pretending that they weren't doing what everyone else was doing in the name of not feeling retarded🤦🏽‍♂️

Please tell me someone kills the sherif after he pulls a gun on a kid

My heart swelled with pride seeing Phoenix defending this old man and buying groceries for him. I saw videos EXACTLY like this for almost two years straight at the height of the Pandemic, and my blood boiled every time.

Happened to me at Walmart. Pretty much exactly the same thing.

Watching company emails cheer leading mandates. Donuts for compliance. No wonder why there hasn’t been a revolt.

Terrific movie!

what is this called????

It exposed how compliant we can be. I deeply believe we collectively just not want to be reminded but with a few exceptions nothing has changed nor did it changed because of it. I think is how we have always been.

This doesn't come close to capturing how retarded things were

What movie is this, please?

Why should you look stupid, for being held hostage? There's definitely a movie to be done about COVID that could make a lot of money. So there is actually a much bigger reason no one makes one.

If you had covid and wouldn't wear a mask in public you probably infected numerous healthy people. Might have killed them. Now you tell me who was the fkn idiot.

Another rage baited bullshit A lot of ppl acted retarded back then, and even more are retarded now, on both side.. any side Get baited and split in more groups u dumb fucks for the umpteenth trivial reason and not realizing the to look up and see where the puppeteer strings lead

I regret everyday that I wore a mask.
