While in Mexico, the man had gone to the Mantamar Beach Club for parties, while in the state of Jalisco. [...] The man had arrived in Mexico on May 27. From May 12 to 16, he had been in Germany. [...] Before he had traveled he had been in his hometown in Texas.

anyone who is HIV positive or suspected of such. probably anyone with a congenital disability who has children. any intravenous drug user who bleeds on the cops when they kick them in the ribs.
"oh but we'd simply use state violence to enforce social health in a just and progressive way" my point is there is not a progressive way to criminalize being diseased.

i know what they meant. they meant we'd use the law to harm people who should be harmed and protect people who should be protected. just like every other law, right?
I guess I didn't say it but from the context of this post i was obviously talking about spreading infectious disease.
look, i know what you were talking about. you saw someone acting stupid and antisocial and thought "there ought to be a law." what i am saying is, noble as your intent might be, there is no form of such a law that doesn't eventually become fascist purges of the social virus. it's the same reason "pedophiles should be hanged in the public square without trial" is a fundamentally reactionary proposal, popular as it may be (even among carceral leftists).
and I know i'm nitpicking because it's not like this is gonna happen anyway, except that i would like the radical left's analysis of social issues to break from the liberal impulse to solve every problem with a prison cell, because i believe it is exactly this faulty conception of justice which hobbles our ability to effectively make war on the present order.
I never mentioned prison. I said punished.
So...
Yeah apparently not. I and probably even on this website already know what you're talking about
i'm not playing this game with you where you tell me you didn't mean what you said and my reasonable critique is painted as a bad faith attack. what, you're saying we should "severely punish" people by revoking their library cards?
That would be a solid start.
I think we can both think of plenty of ways one can be punished that don't involve prison.
