And permantly disfigured even more with long COVID.
They knew what would happen. The US is wealthy with a huge military force. They could have locked down and mobilised their army to protect people until it was over.
But the oligarchs didn’t want to slow their profits and give up even an inch of their wealth and power, so COVID was allowed to run rampant. They sacrified their own people to the virus. These people did not willingly sacrifice themselves, they were killed through purposeful negelect.
They also encouraged other countries to do the same. My own country hardly had any deaths before US officials visited and pressured them to open again.
It’s no longer tracked properly so who knows the full extent of the death.
This could be one of the largest mass killings in history.
The worst part is when the news tries to spin how traumatic it was for kids to endure our pathectic excuse for a ‘lockdown’, instead of how traumatic it was to watch our countries murder millions for nothing and hear our friends and families parrot eugenics talking points to try and justify it.
EDIT: [CONTENT WARNING] There is a blue MAGA from another instance in the comments who is hand waving away peoples COVID experiences, so if you have lost a loved one to this disease or had your life or loved ones affected by it, reading the comments here might stir some trauma. Just a heads up.

My sister did everything right, vaccine and all, and still caught the virus because she was forced back to work and a coworker lied about having it. She now has a perminant heart condition. Fuck you and your eugenics supporting ass. I know another in my life who vaccinated and died anyway. How dare you even pretend like how it was handled was okay. You’re disgusting.

No, don’t come here with that reddit debate bro bullshit. You’re trying to gaslight peoples trauma away. You’re minimising the pain of a real tragedy . Eat shit.

“I have a family member disabled and someone else in my life died because liberals turned covid mitigation into an individual choice”
And your reflex is to whine about how your words were misrepresented. To just get it out of the way: you’re a inhuman callous piece of shit. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. And no your words weren’t misconstrued. On a matter of life and death inaction by democrats holding power was justified by you just now because “republicans would have been worse”
Just fucking defederate from us already. You’re worse than bringing nothing of value.
“Just sort by local!” they said, “It’s like nothing has changed that way!”
Bullshit. I’ve been here 3 years and i can say that it was pretty rare to get somebody like this dipshit just wandering in here before federating with these fucking libs, can’t wait for all this to end the way that seems inevitable
Agreed. If we are going to stay federated I wish that the mods would at least tackle bad faith wreckers that disregard our trauma tags.
Maybe don’t be a condescending asshole.
Edited by request.
drown in your own shit, monster
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you? Your behavior is rancid

Maybe you should reread it. Probably have a better standard than 'take the vaccine or don’t
’ when the harm of covid could’ve been reduced within the first two weeks.

Both parties had the means to stop covid, and both chose not to. They both increased harm, substantially.
having a democratic president literally made masking and vaccine compliance worse in the long run because a large number of people were only complying as part of culture war oppositional bullshit (lmao bet that’s you) rather than actually paying attention to the science, as can be seen by Biden’s CDC constantly making bad decisions and liberals like you just rolling with it.
Also, hey dipshit, what’s the govt doing about vaccines or masks now? Oh, yeah, covid is “over” :^]
cancer is more useful than libs like you, at least it sometimes kills fascists
Your party’s stance is “don’t wear masks because we have a vaccine, the vaccine works like magic and Covid is over. Horay for science”

Are you seriously debating whether Kang is better than Kodos in this shit show of a democracy?
Watch out!
He’s twirling towards freedom!
There’s a good chance that smug asshole is a libertarian. Only libertarians tend to do the “I belong to neither party but I cheer on the horrors of both” thing.
And militantly advocate for them…
Is that so, asshole? Do you know the ages of consent across the prefectures of Japan like most of your likely independent libertarian party?
Then maybe that political party is far below standards and maybe shouldn’t be considered the bare minimum.
Better than bad isn’t good.
Come on, you were there. You had to have at least read about Nancy Pelosi showing off her ice cream freezer or Biden pushing for people to go back to work while we were dealing with new variants.
That’s not harm reduction. That’s depraved indifference.

You know what, I’m being unfair. You lack such a fundamental understanding of material conditions that you believe a sitting Congressperson talking about ice cream for a viral video wasn’t harmful. That’s time, effort, and attention that could’ve gone towards doing her actual job.
Conservatives weren’t going to listen to Nancy Pelosi either way, but her minimizing the severity of covid caused actual harm.
Making ice cream videos is comparable to anti-lockdown policies when you’re one of the most powerful people in the United States. One of the people who could’ve pushed for stronger covid policies.
Maybe you should reevaluate your understanding of harm reduction and acceptable harm.
There’s that ableism again, asshole. Not everyone you disagree with is mentally ill, and even if they were, that doesn’t make them bad people.
Unlike you. You choose to be an asshole. Fuck you.
why aren’t we blocking the term?
I don’t know. I only used it to quote it and I hate when edgy internet people use it to describe people that they don’t like, implying that mental illness (which is what BAD people have amirite?
) is why someone dares to disagree with them.
