I'm becoming a real asshole. 4

I was with some family last night, and everyone was talking about COVID. It seems that is all anyone talks about anymore lately, but anyways, they started asking about my job (cashier @ gas station) and they were asking about masks and everything else.
I'm at the point where I don't even want to talk to these people. I don't want to talk to anyone about fucking COVID. I just turn into a giant asshole because from what I have seen and experienced, nobody gives a fuck.
We have these 'practices' in place, sanitizing door handles, a rule that the cashiers have to get customers fountain drinks for them, we are all supposed to wear masks but NO ONE does, we have a deli attached to the gas station and NOT ONE deli employee wears a mask- EVER. I wore a mask for about 2 weeks, and then I realized no one else was wearing one and I'm as good as screwed no matter what I do, and I stopped.
I've seen maybe 2 people sanitize anything at all whatsoever in the last 3 months, the first month when people were taking this more seriously, me and my coworkers would be more disciplined in doing this but after the first few weeks everyone went back to being lazy pieces of fucking shit.
We had a number of people laid off at one point, and I told my boss I would rather be laid off than exposing myself to this shit and giving it to my parents whom I live near and I am always going to their house, and he basically told me to stay or lose my job. He said 'he would never ask his employees to do anything he wouldn't do' which is complete bullshit.
All this COVID shit has done is show me how people really are. All of these employers with essential workers, they don't give a fuck about you, the customer, and they certainly don't give a fuck about their employees. They care about your perception as the customer, which is what they always have cared about. They care about you thinking they are doing everything for you, to protect you. They care about the money and that is it. It's fucking mind blowing to me that people ( like the family that was asking me questions) have just been living so comfortably for so long, that they actually think all these businesses they frequent gives a real shit about them.
All of these rules these business are putting in place and have put in place, most of them don't even make any fucking sense whatsoever, they are only in place to provide the appearance that something is being done to protect you, the customer. Every business that has implemented this mask rule for customers locally, if they haven't caved and let people in without masks they are suffering and losing money. Those who haven't caved are probably in the minority and are the few who actually care.
Like I said though, most of the rules are bullshit. I am supposed to get customers their fountain pops and coffees etc. etc., yet I am wearing gloves that I am told by my employer not to waste, so I can't take them off and put new ones on to get the drink for the customer, and I have been touching cash ALL DAY with them... and then I am supposed to touch this persons lid and straw and cup? What the fuck? In what world does that make any fucking sense at all? That's fucking stupid.
And not only that, all of the employees touch this money and all this other dirty shit in the store while interacting with people, and then we stock all of the items in the store with these dirty hands/gloves. The deli employees are literally breathing coughing sneezing etc all over the food and kitchen they make the food in, and touching cash with the hands they make the food with...
You gotta be fucking high to believe any of these rules are for anything other than appearances.
It's all bullshit.
All these fucking idiots talking about corona and COVID and "do you wear a mask" can honestly just get fucked in the ass. I don't fucking care. I don't want to hear it. This is all bullshit.
I go to work everyday and nobody sees the lack of fucks being given. They are just blind consumers for the most part falling for illusory appearances and swallowing everything the media has to say with absolutely no filter. This is why this country is going down the fucking drain. People are just fucking dumb.
It's really hard for me to not become cynical and pissed when my employer doesn't give a fuck about me or my health, and the customers don't give a fuck about themselves.
If you really fear this COVID shit, you shouldn't even be getting food from a gas station deli right now, or any fast food joint, or any business who doesn't give a fuck what's going on under their roof, and doesnt give a fuck about their employees. Employees who are fucking miserable aren't going to give a fuck about you or these safety rules or anything else.
Man. I have a feeling things are going to get very ugly in my life time. People are just so ignorant and blind. So spoiled. Taking everything for granted. Overlooking everything..

So spoiled indeed 
You can either give up and lay down and be a jaded fuckerina....or you can light a fire under your coworkers asses, them and the rest of the pollywogs (consumers) that don’t adhere to showing common sense & decency when indoors in public. 
If there’s a fire in your house at night are you just going to go back to sleep? Nut up you only live once.

man... sure it's always been crazy, but everything is now. You can't assume that we are going through something crazy and it will go back to 'normal'.
I think we are entering a new phase of some plan that's been in the works for a while.. and I don't think me and you are the beneficiaries of that plan.

man.... I got fuckin money in the bank. And really, with the world we live in I should probably have it inside a mattress but... I don't need this fucking job. I've just been trying to be smart and grind it out but I've really been considering getting the fuck out of that place and just taking some time to think about life/the future.... re acclimate with my fucking soul.. was thinking about it before all this started but now I'm really thinking about it. I work my ass of for this guy for over two years, and he's willing to fire me during a global pandemic instead of bringing back some newer employees from their lay off because he knows I'm the only one who will work hard.... just kinda feels like a sign that I need to focus on my fucking self for once. idk.
this is all so crazy.. but yet, so unsurprising.

Do whatever you’ve got to do, within reason. If no ones willing to cooperate and do their part even if you are I say fuck em they don’t deserve you. Find another job. But find it before you quit. Lined up etc. or if you’ve got the money or luxury - take time off and do you.

Well, me personally, I was sorta expecting people around me to start dropping off. News my boss was sick after some domestic air travel. He was fine after a couple weeks, not even sure how bad he got.
I think people's attentions were on NYC and Cuomo while their own states and counties were not being effected nearly as bad. That made a lot of people scared watching news coverage go on and on about mass graves and overloaded hospitals and such and have been dumbstruck.
Evidence is there. Respiratory viruses aren't that big of a deal. People were mistreated, mistakes were made, lessons should be learned.
People are ignoring scientific data that has been presented and continue to follow media guidelines, which have flip-flopped from the word 'go'.
Survival rates are very high, +99%.
Children are unaffected, which is positive.
Many healthy people get over with mild symptoms.

Without modern medicine and the vast interconnected specialized infrastructure & trained people who keep it all going - humanity would see how spoiled we’ve truly become.
This is like, before the flood, biblical type spoiled rotten. We’re just cruising for a bruising that’s just around the corner & meanwhile we’re under the illusion that we are the #1 big dick in town.

It really is a difficult thing not to allow this ridiculous world not to turn me into a crusty old dickhead muthafuggan asshole. On top of the stupid, sensless, asinine people & circumstances that make up our daily life shit, there's Covid, innumerable us-verses-them divisions, money making scams from every angle, entitled self-serving brats running amok, family & friends brainwashed by the media, and list goes on and on...
So far, I haven't done a very good job preventing the asshole metamorphosis. Booze and bad films has been my choice of distraction of late, but this prescription could very well be adding to my crustification.

Just accept you are an asshole
I have accepted most common negative human traits apply to me as well, especially the first two hours after I wake up, then I really suck
We have a saying here in the Netherlands "niets menselijks is mij vreemd"
It roughly translates as "nothing human is alien to me" and it means that whatever shit humans tend to do, you do as well
Im a nihilist and therefor free to create my own system of values. Where other people are involved I tend to walk the path of least resistance. I practice not giving a fuck on a daily basis.
I strive for maximum efficiency in things I have to do in order to have more time for things I want to do
Also stop watching TV, especially the news

I have become very embittered too, by employers and family and hypocritical things in every tiny corner of my life experience. I thought yesterday that I am living in a fractal of hypocracy and lies and delays and defunct systems and all around just a shit hole of society. It's been impossible to feel happy lately. I'm increasingly tempted to abandon ship, sell all my possessions before I destroy them myself just survive deprived style, stealth camping every day and just roam around the continents on my motorbike. Deliver grubhub if I need extra cash. I don't want to work for anyone anymore, I have a really bad taste left from my industry that I used to think there was pride to work in, but now I believe that pride and honor in working for society is a fabricated enslaving belief force fed to you through guilt and shame
