      im vaccinated and i would really prefer everyone choose to be vaccinated but i dont spend time talking about this for a few reasons. this first is that i dont actually think it would have the desired effect if i just yelled at people about it. relatedly this feels tendentious.

      the third is that the people who are really vocally not just provaccine but coercive about it have a serious missing mood about their stancehttps://www.econlib.org/archives/2016/01/the_invisible_t.html …

      if your position is "having everyone vaccinated is incredibly important, so much so (for various reasons) that we should accept the very real and serious short- and long-term civil costs of coercing people to get a vaccine" i actually respect that thought i dont necessarily agree

      your read may differ, but he seems to be downright /eager/ to use coercive means to attain a public health end, and specifically trying to do some kind of internet-tough guy-but-bureaucratic-for-some-reason framing to attack people who disagree with him

          as someone who cares about public health but is also wary of coercion as a tool this makes me less inclined to ever support coercive means for public health ends, because it reminds me that people like him will be the ones designing and executing the coercive policies from DC

          I want to reemphasize that I am vaccinated and wish other people would be vaccinated. Supporting pushes for vaccines is something that it should be easy to get me behind.

          So it is especially frustrating that expressions like the one in the screencap exist because I think they make it /less/ likely that people who are reluctant to get a vaccine will actually do so, if for no other reason than to spite people who clearly hate them and wish them ill

          rulers in a democracy cannot afford to be openly contemptuous of the people they govern, and even aside from that this kind of attitude is indecent and inhumane and I really wish people quite generally would stop burning down the country to own their outgroup

          many people like to pretend that state actions can be coercive without requiring, you know, actual violence these are the people who scream and throw things at me when I point out that behind every parking ticket lies the threat of death

          "oh, we'll just make it more uncomfortable not to comply than to comply" these are people who have no principles, only guidelines of the moment, and can't understand that there are people in the world who don't care how fucking uncomfortable you make them, they won't do it

          He may have deleted the original tweet. But if I recall correctly it was in the context of an argument where the person on the other side suggested they would Waco anyone who came to do a centralized quarantine. In context I think his excitement is just a reflection.

          There's fascist ideology, fascist aesthetics, and fascist temperament. Only the last one matters, and it pops up everywhere.
