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.
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.
