He is a major virtue signaler and wants love and attention for being the Carefullest Man In The World.

My idea exactly. He's a thoroughly "with it" man of the modern world, meaning he's hardly a man at all.

It standard issue virtue signaling by a pathetic Leftist clown.

“See how “noble” I am I sacrificed my 40th b-day for “the cause””.

I think humans are born with certain default settings.

And that it takes work to overcome them.

It takes work to be brave, not allow yourself to be a mope, to be positive, curious, educable, adaptable.

The author’s lazy.

So you had your parties in the past during cold and flu season with not regrets?

Here's how I thought through the decision.

I didn't!

Not at all.

In fact I avoid thinking at all times.

Because it might challenge "THE MESSAGE" and we would not want that!

With so few years left before man completes his annihilization of the planet you’d think this nihilistic turd would not waste his pathetic birthday party.

The author is both a coward and a willfully ignorant fool.


Not to mention lights up the Gaydar screen.

The REAL REASON this asshat cancelled his party is because the cost of his party has tripled with Biden in office!!

We really shouldn’t be surprised. The last two years have just given us our latest lesson (the latest of many in the history of humankind) in how easy it is to buffalo, brainwash and propagandize human beings.

The joke’s on him. All the so-called elites are still attending parties and not wearing masks. Maxine Waters flew on a commercial flight just recently and wasn’t wearing a mask.

Are we supposed to ignore the silliness of fully grown adults still throwing themselves Birthday Parties?

Birthday Parties are for children.

Here is how I did it. I sent emails to all the invited and just told them to drop my birthday gifts by my front door. It was easy. /sarc
