Nixon's support for the genocide in East Pakistan is already worse than everything Trump did combined. Maybe Trump gets worse if you can determine how many of the global covid fatalities can be blamed on the Trump admin's dogshit pandemic response turning the US into a global superspreader.

You absolutely cannot put the 500k covid deaths on Trump. Kamala and other dems explicitly told people not to trust vaccines if they came out before the election, NJ and NY still lead the nation on deaths per million because of their homicidal policies regarding senior homes, etc. This isnt a defense of trump, but it was 100% a joint effort.

It would be one thing if he was just going after the CDC for their incompetent and contradictory response, but for some reason he's also attacking NZ and Australia for their response despite it being much more effective and much more similar to China's response.

The problem I'm having with this issue is that people keep petitioning the government to lift the face shield mandate, and it sucks all the oxygen out of getting the government to do anything else with regards to improving their pandemic response.

Because the way I see it, if the face shields do nothing, then maintaining the mandate costs nothing. Maybe it doesn't prevent more cases, but lifting the mandate also would not prevent more cases, either!

As opposed to, say, the government allowing in-door dining. Or the government not properly ventilating buses for public transportation. Or the government allowing call centers to work on-site throughout the entire pandemic. Or the government's contact tracing operations being wholly insufficient. Or any of the number of other similar failures of governance.

All those other points would theoretically produce a more marked decrease in the number of cases of COVID in the country, and yet pretty much none of them are getting any air-time compared to demanding that the government stop asking people to wear face shields.

I bring this up because I feel like a similar thing is happening with regards to vaccines in the West. Now, obviously vaccines have a far greater effect on cases (and hospitalizations, and deaths) than a face shield does, but my impression is that there's a similar effect on the public discourse, and on the actual governing at hand, that everything is focused on getting people vaccinated, and not on anything else that could be done to reduce cases (or hospitalizations, or deaths).

And it's also unfortunate, because even if we begin from the premise that there's some segment of the population that is steadfastly never going to want to get vaccinated, as a result of ideological programming or what-have-you, then it suggests that you'd need to do something else in order to prevent them from getting sick, or to prevent others from getting sick as a result of their actions, and yet such things aren't being considered either, because all of the conversation revolves around "get vaccinated! get vaccinated!"

vaccine efficacy took a big hit with delta and will almost certainly take another one with omicron, but neither of those variants dropped rates to zero. even with diminished effectiveness it's irresponsible not to be vaccinated, cringe liberals making it a cultural signifier notwithstanding

Also what triggers you all about Caleb ? I mean he does more work then Benny ever did against imperialism.

Also lol yeah you’re totally going to get the proletariat on your side by promising to destroy their nation. I know a lot of you think America is uniquely evil. But I have a secret all nations can engage in imperialism and all can also potentially take part in liberation from the imperial project of Wall Street, London, and Langley.

It's an explicitly self-serving stance to argue that we need to be "patriotic socialists" in the imperial core, like labor aristocrats were all going to jump on the CPI bandwagon because they waved the flag.

Anyway.

I don't expect anyone to watch this 2 hour stream because I sure as Hell won't, but the first 15 minutes are enough to see where it's going. Haz is real shook up by Dukina's assassination and the reaction to it, and now he's declaring that all "leftists" want to kill "us." He's also saying that they need to stop engaging with leftists online like they're going to, what, cloister themselves into their own bubble? Do they think the average American even knows who Dugin is? This poo poo is spinning out of control insanely fast, and it's going to waste a lot of time having to re-educate people who buy into this garbage.

I don't even get who they think they're trying to reach out to anymore. If this split in the online left is going to be over Dugin how can they claim to even be patriotic socialists? Dugin is the based anti-imperialist anti-American Eurasianist thought leader. Whatever else you can say about him he's explicitly anti-American. Who the Hell is any of this even for?

The government is handling covid in a way that's deliberately harmful to all of us, they're just not doing it by having us take the vaccine per se.
