I just saw somewhere that (of course it’s Florida) politicians in Florida are calling to stop distribution of vaccines there because of “potential to cause cancer.”
Hmmm… Now you care about carcinogens? You know what helps prevent carcinogens from entering the ecosystem? Corporate regulations. Oops I said the bad R word… They don’t actually give a shit about what causes cancer, it’s just another political stunt…
Unfortunately it will take us actually taking action against propagandists, but since they’re “the press” they get a free pass to do whatever they want.
It’s a horrible scenario to be in, because you definitely don’t want to open that can of worms with the current political system. Who gets to decide what is propaganda and what isn’t? I could easily see a Trump administration labeling all media that isn’t right wing media as “propaganda unfit for consumption.”
So we rely on the intelligence of the common individual to see through the bullshit… As we all know common sense isn’t common :(
Fortunately this isn’t government mandated “cleansing”, these people are being told to get vaccinated/wear masks/use hand sanitizer. They’re being given every opportunity and encouragement to protect themselves.
Definitely Darwinism doing what Darwinism does.
I just feel bad for the immunocompromised people who will unfortunately inevitably get caught up in the assholes who refuse to take necessary precautions.
I hope you would agree, it is wrong to see people as totally atomized, neatly seperated, each in their own little castle with their own small set of things. We are all part of a World just as that World is part of all of us. Sometimes we make it a little better and sometimes we make it a little worse, but surely it is not as simple as to say anyone is the sole cause of their suffering nor, that they are the only recipient. For example: would it not be terrible for those, that love them to lose such a very dear peace of their world, and as an extension of themselves, even if it is in part responsible for their own demise?
You also mentioned natural selection, but it is clear, that not all thing one could label natural are good, just or desirable.
‘Can we perhaps even build a new nature?’, ‘In a world where we can sustain everyone, should we not just do it without any kind of selection?’ - those are just two questions, that come to my mind, but I don’t feel like thinking about them, still wanted to write them down.
Well, given that the vast majority of these folks are aligned to a particular political party… And it’s an election year during covid/flu/rsv season…
Carry on!

We really need to come back to reality as a country. Unfortunately it will take another thirty years.

It’s a bit uncomfortable to be cheering for eugenics, even if it is self-administered…

I don’t think this counts as eugenics, as nobody is forcing them to kill themselves. This looks more like natural selection to me. I’m all for it.

This is as much eugenics as when that cult all killed themselves. Exact same situation.
