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.

That's not what the OP said though and that's what I took issue with and they're still defending that position.
I'm frustrated and talking shit. I can make caveats and carve outs all day long, but I'm tired.
This is a shitpost and having to add nuance to it is exhausting and depressing. Fuck. I'm honestly so tired of all this shit.
I will say that I tend to be pretty blunt on this because I frequently see mote hand wringing over antivaxxers with little compassion for their victims.
Whatever. I get this is a sensitive topic for you as well. I'm genuinely sorry this post upset you because we almost always agree on other shit around here.
Just like, don't say a bunch of people deserve to die for being taken in by grifters, like I hate cryptobros but they don't deserve death they're just rubes. And the same harm analogy can be made, crypto is contributing to climate apocalypse.
That doesn't mean a bunch of them don't deserve the wall for all sorts of other reasons.
Crypto is at least abstracted, but this exhausted me and I honestly wasn't expecting to have to litigate this here. I get why, but it's depressing.
I'm going to just log off now. Having some kind of an outlet for this is better than just continuing to drink myself to death, but that's going to happen anyway probably.
Sorry, also same. Just had two pints before breakfast.
Shit happens and we're all doing the best we can. Solidarity.
