It's actually mainly anti-vaxxers blaming the vaccines for it

        As long as the virus only hurts poor people, children and the elderly, Porky don't give a shit.

          Shit. As long as they don't have to watch it happening directly they'll even let it hurt their own. Real Masque of the Red Death hours going on.

            This is something of a conspiracy theory, but personally I think a lot of what's going on is most members of the ruling class truly believe in overpopulation/Malthusianism and aren't just happy to watch working people die, but actively encourage it.

              but this time they include white people as d*g*n*r*t*s as well so it's not racist!

              That will stop working when the bougie no longer have any peons left to shovel their shit.

                Yeah but by then it will be (is?) totally out of control, Sorceror's Apprentice style. Too late to change policy.

              Oh, no! I totally agree! Just because malthusian overpopulation is bullshit doesn't mean these rich dumb fucks don't believe in it and express it like all their other shared class interests. I think a lot of the blue-maga libs agree with it as well; They're clapping themselves on the back for not being red-maga anti-vaxxers while the Red Masqued, Long Covid walks through their vaccinated castle.

                100%. None of these billionaires actually strike me as particularly well educated about demographics, and belief in overpopulation is incredibly normalized in our society -- which I don't think is an accident. I've had lots of arguments with libs and even genuinely leftist people about how overpopulation isn't a problem, overconsumption is. I believe that all human life has value, and that the environment is primarily being destroyed by and for rich people and their militaries. I think if we get rid of that shit and build a rational agricultural system we can easily live comfortably with this many people, in balance with nature (which I also think is a lot more capable of springing back than many people think).

              Some of the ruling class have a pretty loud breeding fetish, but I suppose the synthesis is breeding for them and death for the poors. :so-true:
