Enterprises and companies have bullied the United States into submission. They only care about selling sh*t and making quick money, not what would be a long term reasonable decision making or taking care of public health issues. This all started when the Delta CEO bullied the CDC into shortening quarantines for Covid-Positive people, pretty much caused a chain reaction in the USA. Y'all are gonna have another wave of cute deaths because the elites decided that they wanna make more money again before the disease is actually gonna become endemic.

So every country that is making the decision to ease up restrictions is now under the control of the elites and corporations? That theory sounds very familiar Not the bore worms!

That theory sounds very familiar Didn't say every country, just specifically the USA. But also... that's kinda the reality of capitalism around the world. "Western democracy" is a farce quite often. Policy is not done by the population or politicians, policy is decided by the interests of the mega wealthy, at the expense of a less wealthy and less protected general population. Literally every virologist around the world that has not been bought by big pharma is criticizing the way countries are laxing restrictions too early, that Covid-19 will take MORE time to go endemic and that the current relaxtions are motivated by big corporates threatening governments by disrupting the economy even more than covid already has done. It's not that complicated really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think you should take a moment and look at what you’re saying, the rhetreoic you’re using is exactly the same as what the right have been using for 2 years to make people fearful. Basically you’re saying do not trust your government, we are at the mercy of the global elite, the corporations and the 1% - it’s very familiar it’s literally what the right have been saying for like 2 years.

I think you should take a look about how this is generally a VERY tame leftist argument that even the most capitalism loving social democrats agree with, that has just been co-opted by conservatives and right-wingers. They convieniently just always leave out that THEY are the ones in power, contolling everything. And how they misrepresent themselves as the "solution" for the people, despite them literally being the root of it. Just like the Q-Anon leadership has brainwashed people into thinking that anybody who is not a conservative is a sex trafficker, conviently leaving out that Q-Anon is a conspirary theory manufactured by the conservative elites that actually ARE f*cking sex traffickers and rape minors by the dozens. Not really my fault that conservatives are hijacking progressive and leftist discourse. Doesn't mean that the discourse is wrong, it just means that it got recognized as an effective instrument to mobilize people. Like... we actually should question the government's authority, the lack of equal opportunities for everybody, income disparities based on gender, race and sexuality and the increasing power Billionaires have on international policy. You seem to be under the illusion that the system we operated under before covid was totally fine. And it wasn't fine, it never has been. You also seem to be under the illusion that questioning the government and its intentions automatically means that you're automatically a reactionary right-winger, and that's just not true. I can question a government, even if it's run by the libs, and once I've finished the thinking process I can either agree or disagree on policy decisions. And the current Biden admin (and the CDC under the Biden admin) has made bad decisions that by large, affect working class people negatively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
