    There's a conversation to be had about how we're basically just making wishes to a capitalist genie and need to be aware of monkey's paw-like results. Because if we just ask and message about anti-COVID stuff without anti-capitalism that we're just gunna' end up with more 2020s over and over (at best), but again, they're not saying or thinking this, really. They really just want people to shut the fuck up about COVID entirely.

      a lot of the covid-awareness available on social media is definitely divorced entirely from class analysis and obnoxious as fuck. like yelling at people for not recycling tier. anyone talking about this should also be talking about the disabled being disproportionately precarious and likely to be in a position to being forced to choose between working among a viral pandemic that can kill them or staying home and losing it or starving, etc.

      that doesn't make alice's take any less shitty. worse if anything because it critiques the good part of the messaging and entirely ignores the bad part

      idk both are annoying but alice sucks harder. i'd say she should know better but at this point if you think she's a comrade idk lurk more
