Not sure if I know how to properly analyze in this vein, but I’d say that manipulating people into avoiding public health, higher disease spread, etc can support a general push to dismantle institutions, sell drugs and healthcare equip, and generally keep the unwashed masses at odds with each other and scared/sick while the grifter elite raid the henhouse and build up better walls and security.
It’s fairly clear that the elites somewhat see the writing on the wall, and that their choice has been not to retreat/reduce their footprint, but to aggressively pursue rentier extremism / ecofascism / eugenics option.
The one I’ve seen put forth a lot is eugenics. They know vaccines are safe and get it for themselves. They don’t care if suburbanites spread antivax shit because the suburbanites are not part of the bourgeois. They especially want it to kill children, the elderly, and the disabled because those groups don’t work. They also know diseases disproportionately affect poor and minority communities, so even better if they get killed by measles or smallpox.
Of course, you get members of the 1% who drink their own supply, resulting in people like Herman Caine and Marcus Lamb dying from preventable illnesses.
Personally, I’m not smart enough to give an answer I haven’t heard from someone else. I think the eugenics angle may be flawed due to reactionaries understanding there’s no way to control who dies.
They literally view children as “the next generation of workers” so unless they actually believe ai butlers are on the horizon (theyre not) they are sowing their own destruction when they have no one left to exploit.
There will be plenty of climate change refugees to exploit. People whom the ruling class don’t have to provide healthcare, food, or education for. That is some other nation’s/society’s expense.
Yeah, but they’re all gonna get sick and disabled and die cause of the lack of healthcare and vaccines. They’re gonna run out of us eventually. We dont replace humans fast enough to outpace the horrors anymore. It makes no sense to destroy public health when you rely on exploiting the public for profit. Sick workers arent productive.
What’s the materialist interpretation of why the US is making measles cases increase?

amerikkkolonizers are smelly, gross hogs (derogatory)

It makes no sense to destroy the biosphere either, we need it to live. Yet here we are
the autonomous killbots at the border will monitor wage data and allow enough migrants in to keep labor costs from rising
