Mocking antivaxxers is not punching down when their decisions and actions are literally murdering people.
Antivaxxers are participating in a systemic genocide of marginalized people, the working class, and the immuno-compromised.
In a perfect world, these ideas wouldn't have spread to begin with. In a still better world than we have right now, we'd have mass re-education programs.
Instead we have a global pandemic made worse by a murder cult.

I'm not defending them, I'm just saying people don't deserve to die just for being gullible.
Most antivaxxers are violent and ideologically committed to their project. Going out in public without a mask right now is violence. Not social distancing right now is violence.
I work in a grocery store and I have people like this intentionally move around the barrier in place of the register because they find it in insulting and want to virtue signal they're owning the libs.
I agree but they don't understand this. We are operating from a totally different perspective, theirs is wrong but it's not deserving of a death sentence.
I also work in a grocery store, when people do shit like that I confront them and I don't mince words.
Some are just reactionaries some are dumbfuck hippies. All of them are in some way victims of material conditions even the worst ones. Sure if someone got physical I would have no qualms beating the shit out of them but they do not deserve death for being victims of the US propaganda machine unless they're also Nazis or some shit.
I do not care they don't understand this in the same way I don't care a nazi, a racist, or a transphobe doesn't understand they are bigotted and evil.
Antivaxxers have their identity wrapped up in this shit to the point they cannot be educated. I am powerless to do anything to stop them and the government supports their beliefs through inaction.
I can watch in horror as they insist on spreading this virus and I can cheer when they destroy themselves. The sooner an antivaxxer changes their mind or dies, we all become a little safer.
There aren't a lot of antivaxxers changing their mind now. The couple I know who have I don't judge anymore. They came around early on, though. The lines are pretty drawn in their minds and that is not something I can change.
Then I don't understand how or why you have compassion for them. They want to kill us. Is this how you rationalize dealing with them every day without becoming aggressive? I understand it's exhausting, but I can't do that.
I do get aggressive lol.
There's a video circulating right now of me that probably is going to end up on public freakout or something because one of those dipshits recorded me aggressively removing them from my store.
I will fucking fight these people, I still do not believe they deserve death
Look I get it I feel much the same way but I take issue with saying they deserve death.
Unless they're also fascists they do not deserve death.
Maybe my response is just wanting them to go away then and realizing the only way that seems to happen is when enough of the motivated ones die that they become less common.
A massive amount of them very much are. These are also the same people who would/ will happily try to murder me when the Amerikan state balkanizes.
As an anarchist I can recognize the necessity of reeducation in certain circumstances precisely because I don't believe in just killing people for being wrong. We only have two options there.
I'm not going to kill them personally. If I had the power to forcibly re-educate all of them, then I would.
I don't have the ability to do that and they're hellbent on chugging piss, gobbling fistfuls of viagra, and exploding into a spore cloud of guts and covid.
I'm so fucking tired and I have to work in two hours. I have coworkers who are gone or on disability because of this virus. I can't have compassion for antivaxxers.
I can, however, mock them and laugh as they self detonate. I hate this country.
:doomer:
I get that but like, some of us have also lost family members to those brainworms but still don't want them to die. Many of them are victims too even if they're also causing real harm.
