            ahh yes, the right of refusal is real socialism. cast aside collective demands for common health - what matters is the individual. this is socialism. :thonk:

            you're arguing for property rights, liberal.

                    Except that vaccinated people are less likely to spread the virus and less likely to become infected while also being less likely to be symptomatic or die if they do get the virus.

                    You're literally wrong but you're too stubborn to believe otherwise because you have a parasocial attachment to an antivax grifter. Grow up.

                this country is a settler state founded on genocide and slavery. consent is nowhere to be found in it's legal system. it's founded on property rights and especially the right to dispose of one's property as the owner prefers. the framework you're referring to extended those rights to include the body as one's property in place of anything resembling informed consent. you are defending property rights.

                  Cuba's flag was designed by someone who defended slavery & wanted Cuba to join the USA as a slave state

                  Did you know that Cuba had slavery 100 years before Anglo North America did and that indigenous removal was as bad there as anywhere?

                  Cuba didn't change its flag after the revolution

                  Is Cuba allowed to be socialist even though Spaniard colonial-settlers still live there & genocide happened?
