The @PHE_uk report today paints a grim picture - TL;DR:-delta variant has almost replaced the beta variant in much of England- 50-60% more transmissible- ~2.5x higher risk of hospitalisations- Schools appear to be a key area of spread with many large no.s of clusters 🧵— Deepti Gurdasani (@dgurdasani1) June 3, 2021
You’re just being a doomer, it’s probably all gonna be fine what with fully vaxxed dying from this variant and the reproduction rate escalating. Not to mention people are likely not getting as tested as much as they’re vaxxed and there’s no way they can possibly catch it….
Yeah but the kulaks had to die for the Soviet Union to survive. You think we can save every single life in a society of millions of people? There are always levels of “acceptable death” even if we don’t want to acknowledge it.
The question is: who makes those decisions, and how do we get to judge whether those decisions were acceptable or not?
Yeah, as socialists, we're going to have to think really hard about how many thousands of deaths are acceptable to enable the neoliberal empire to spin back up to full speed a few months sooner.

The cult of the individual is so deeply ingrained in us, it’s horrific. Thatcher would be proud.

As socialists we don’t have power so yeah we are all just circle jerking here.

Eco-fascism is when people decide to grow food in a famine instead of working on a cure for a rare disease that one person has.
