Dying Right II

2994 people died on 9/11.
58,220 US troops died in Vietnam.

America grieved. 

America memorialized. 

145,000 US dead from Corona thus far and ‘masks are inconvenient’, ‘how does this effect me’, and ‘the economy must move forward’. 

To die in some useless war, to be blown to bits by a terrorist - matters. To die of a disease? - weak. 

Fuck your memorials, your medals, your flags. 

People don’t care if you die.

It’s only how you die that matters.
