1/ Imagine C19, rather than dispro taking POC, older, poorer & already-sicker Americans, were dispro felling white, rich, healthy, prime-of-life folks. Now, raise your hand if you think ANYONE currently calling for re-opening for the sake of normalcy would be saying that shit...
2/ You can't. And the reason is because you know the logic of "getting back to normal" is fundamentally eugenic. It is about a deep-seated American belief in lesser and greater beings, lesser and greater human worth, where the usual suspects are in each place respectively...
3/ It is rooted in a notion that some must sacrifice for the greater good, but always, ALWAYS the ones doing the sacrificing--or rather BEING sacrificed--are those on the bottom of various social hierarchies rooted in power...
4/ And those demanding this return to normal are the ones who work at jobs where they will not be at much risk. And they have good health care. The ones on the bottom are demanding a different system: one NOT rooted in their misery or the choice of "your money or your life..."
5/ We could print money & distribute it in such a way as to get folks through. Or simply cancel debt. But the wealthy scream 'inflation' & refer to their Econ 101 books which say that's a terrible thing to normally do, ignoring that these are not normal times...
6/ ...and so much money is being sucked out of the economy right now that such a move would merely balance things out...not to mention, temporary price controls, rent and mortgage freezes, etc could ensure no inflationary effect...
7/ But this would require the haves to sacrifice. Not their lives, or health. Not even their power, really. But merely their religious devotion to a theory of government and economics, which is used to justify the latter of these and without which they cannot function...
8/ The folks screaming "get back to work...it's the lesser evil!" are the slaveowners seeking to rationalize their system ("what will happen to the ECONOMY if we free them?"). They are the mine owners working 12 yr olds ("what will happen to the ECONOMY if we pass labor laws?")..
9/ They are the sweatshop overseers scaring you about the cost of shoes if even halfway humane labor standards were imposed...they are, in short, the face of an evil not modern but quite ancient, merely broadcasting their sympathies on modern technologies...
10/ Time to pick a side. The eugenicists are doing what they have always done & will do until we stop them. And NO, the eugenicists are not Bill Gates and others who seek vaccines, sweetheart. They are the ones who say the economy requires some to die so Wall Street can live...
