    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 especially want it to kill children

      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.
