The capitalist class has already conditioned people to be traumatized by the idea of pandemic prevention methods by their handling of COVID

This new bird flu will not be contained and will be allowed to spread unchecked. It can be spread by the pigeons on your street, and the poorly prepared fast food chicken slop treats that capitalist countries love.

And COVID is still here killing people.

This is going to be the new normal for a capitalism dominated world. As the environment crumbles we are going to see pandemic after pandemic as animal populations succumb the the stress of environmental degradation and new diseases emerge.

And with each new variant of disease our bodies are left damaged and more susceptible.

Disease compounding on top of disease.

Welcome to your capitalist utopia.

Every day is a constant reminder that they mean every word of “better dead than red”.

To them, humans going extinct is worth it if it means that no rule applies to them or any other bourgeoisie.

If it's inevitable then why should I panic? I gain nothing from being very sad and frustrated while dying.

I think you have a good attitude

Let it come, maybe we can avert it or do something about it (new global pandemic, climate catastrophe, etc) in time.... and if not, there's time to despair about it before the end

I don't blame anyone for feeling sad and frustrated either though... I definitely do a lot of the time

i just hope the disruption destabilizes the order enough to allow the global south to get free

the rest of us will have to hold out mad max style, in communal compounds as fascist civil wars and purges rage in our broken, depopulated nations until we finally see the first PLA IFVs roll in and know things are looking up again

Oh, I thought you were talking about the path to nuclear escalation that nato is on

I'm sure it will be fine. It's not like we let every single human on the planet get infected multiple times with a disease that directly damages the immune system.

The amount of birds already dying is on a different scale, I guess it doesn’t matter to non-vegans but billions of birds have been culled because of this virus and billions more will be culled. And not to forget the wild birds, dying in larger quantities with each outbreak.

Oh I thought you were talking about climate change and how every country in the west is already building concentration camps for when hundreds of millions of people can no longer live where they were born. Carry on I guess.

A lot of people are in need of saving

The capitalist ruling class has abdicated responsibility and will to enact pandemic prevention methods after their mishandling of COVID. This new bird flu will not be contained and allowed to spread. It can spread from pigeons and chicken fed to you. And Covid is still killing people. This cannot be allowed to continue. We do not have to let this be the new normal. As the environment crumbles, we are going to see an increase in zoonotic diseases as more animals come in contact with human populations. Each new disease leaving us more vulnerable. Do you accept this dystopia? What is there to be done? But be the adults in the room. Provide the mutual aid to help those in need. Take control. If there is a time to join an org and become more militant, this is the time.

Good thing I've been pursuing meat reduction. Made some breakfast burritos with soy chorizo and hen of the forest earlier.

okay so with Covid westerners became more racist towards Asians, now with this new thing they'll become more racist towards black people

Fascists will always choose to hate brown people over actually fucking admitting the greed of white colonials is the real problem.

Murikkkans don't like being told what to do, one part correct distrust in institutions but sadly a lot of gut feels nearing instinct since there aren't approachable people telling them how it is that aren't grifters. Talk with people when you can. That's something small IRL to do, and being here you know of a great opener to approach the pandemic itself, through economics, since that is a shared concrete reality most you'll encounter can't escape no matter what fantasies they construct for themselves.
