When hedonism becomes insidious.

Every big party during this period, (unless health precautions are dilligently enforced) is going to have a very insidious, negative vibe. People are not partying to have fun no more, they're partying in defiance, in angry, vitriolic, vicious rebellion. It's not the type of rebellion that starts positive social change either, the good kind.  It's the "I can do what I want to even if it hurts myself and others, and I dare anybody to say something about it" form of rebellion, the nasty kind. I don't know why anyone of any reasonable intelligence would want to attend one of these functions.

R.I.P. to the victims of the Park Manor shooting. Let's do better y'all.
