Necrosecurity in a nitshell. They think leaving us to die will protect them.
This paper does a good job explaining: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351908826_Necrosecurity_Immunosupremacy_and_Survivorship_in_the_Political_Imagination_of_COVID-19
The paper's abstract:
"The neologism ‘necrosecurity’ describes the cultural idea that mass death among less grievable subjects plays an essential role in maintaining social welfare and public order. In the early months of the novel coronavirus pandemic in the United States, this perspective on the social value of death emerged in diverse contexts, particularly in claims that deaths were a necessary consequence of returning economies to normal. Necrosecurity discourse encourages audiences to perceive coronavirus fatalities as neither preventable nor exceptional, and to perceive themselves as facing little risk of infection or death. Overlooking the realities of infectious disease epidemiology, these accounts portrayed COVID-19 as a mild disease and imagined a population of robust and physically normative individuals who would survive an epidemic unscathed and ready to return to work.
" These appeals articulate with powerful cultural tropes of survivorship, in which statistical calculations of relative risk and life chances—ostensibly cited to inspire hope for an individual outcome—conceal a zero-sum calculus in which ill or susceptible individuals are pitted against one another. In contrast to the construct of biosecurity—the securing of collective life against risk—necrosecurity paradoxically imagines the deaths of vulnerable others as a means of managing shared existential dangers."
That's what we saw under Biden, and now we're getting a ramped up worse version under TrumpoMusk.
I really want Leftists to understand this so they can rip out this genocidal, fascist ideology rather than giving in to it by not masking or engaging in any mitigations. All of these deaths are preventable.
