Poster who said the consent/sti metaphor again.

I'm not aware that much of the Left in europe is saying things like this, I'll have to look into it. I agree with what you're saying, but I'm immediately assuming I'd receive a rebuttal of being "selfish" or something if I argue with liberals that forcing vaccines to work is wrong, given your arguments. Maybe that's just what we're up against and I have to just deal with it, fair enough if so.

But I think if my fear is true, then it represents something in the air here in the US. It's some kind of generic support with helping the worser-off, the less privileged, etc. Like, the social justice politics are so infused in the culture now, that privilege is thrown around as an insult wherever it can be. I think this is why I still gravitate to Situationist stuff, even though it's half a century old at this point. They and the autonomous movements they influenced pointed to the important of first-person experience: of how YOU live your life and what YOU do with it.

But, outside of self-help books they read, that attitude is pretty unpopular among the politicos I see in the world, and it seems like they're more of them every day >_>
