Been searching for something like this for a long time... long live Gemini!
that marx shit is old, give me older.
libertarian covidiots be like...
In fact, we've already got a massive "surplus population" problem when it comes to labor in the United States. The capitalist solution has just been a massive expansion of the prison system to the point where one out of every four prisoners on the planet is languishing in an American prison. Don't need to kill the surplus population when you can jail them and then make money from them by running private prisons!
@679 You are quite close to understanding Marx's arguments, but then you go off the rails with crazy, complicated schemes for committing genocide that fly in the face of all evidence. Under capitalism you don't need anything so complicated. What happens as full automation is neared, in the absence of socialist resistance, is capitalism morphs into fascism in order to continue putting private property above human lives. There won't be a fake vaccine or death ray or anything so cartoonish. We'll just mostly find ourselves unable to afford survival. This is a much more elegant solution that helps ensure only those capital doesn't need anymore are harmed.
Anyway, the "only kills the weak" bit is also clearly bullshit at this point. Of course you're going to have a worse time if your immune system is compromised somehow, but plenty of healthy twenty and thirty somethings have bit the dust as well because of this virus. My brother in law was healthy and exercised regularly before he got it, FFS. It's a bit luck and a bit a matter of how much you were exposed. And death aside, we also know now that severe cases can cause long-term impairment. People with long COVID are gonna have a real hard time in a so-called society that doesn't give a shit about supporting its members.
My brother in law died of COVID before the vaccines were available. Contracted it from his son, who got it from a covidiot co-worker. I worry now about my parents, currently renting a room to a religious antivaxxer, and about my wife and the son we'll be having this April. My baby won't be able to be vaccinated, and pregnancy supresses the immune system, so... yeah, it would be great if they were only hurting themselves. But they're wrecking shit for everyone else as well. Look at the damage they've done this past year. I'd really love it if COVID only culled the antivaxxers, but that's not how all this works. We're still tied to their dead weight.
The great thing about COVID is it culls the weak, regardless of whoever is right. Will it be the vaxxed or the unvaxxed? Only history will tell us. Corona-chan still undefeated!
On top of that, they bring up the tired old "depopulation" bullshit (dig into it sometime if you like; it's built almost entirely on out-of-context quotes and paranoia) and then use *that* as a basis to advocate for terrorism. What a waste of carbon.
It is frustrating that you are so opaque to reality. You continue to spread damaging ideas in an attempt to drag others down to your level. Please go outside. Regardless of whatever other conspiracy theories you want to believe in, pretending that Covid is fake and vaccines ineffective is so very, very, very angering to someone who has witnessed that painful death happen to people they care about.
