    The million+ of USAmericans who perished from COVID have not scared anyone. I can count on one hand the number of people who wear any sort of mask to where I go to school, the first finger being me. No one is talking about this.

    The biggest problem is that the capitalist took their lesson from COVID and are not giving this any coverage.

      Also can’t have people getting a taste of state support, or the lucky ones who could to experience a sort of temporary post-capitalist world. It made office workers too uppity and labor too undisciplined. Even in my “essential” public facing job that was living hell for months we basically give few shits about simpering customer service now.

      It also destroyed the neoliberal illusion deployed during the Great Recession that says the state has to intervene. Now they can just roll the dice, hope the mortality rate is lowish, and even if not know they have their luxury bunkers and can finally get the population culling so many of the elite want (at least ecofash wing not the Breeder Kinksters)

      Doomlathing: The bird flu becomes a global pandemic. Billions die. This causes a brief reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, which results in brief improvements of the climate. Capitalists use this to argue the climate crisis has been solved and the mass death was just “mother nature’s immune system kicking in, killing off the sickness”; ecofascism reigns.
