Interesting, maybe, but definitely correct. The unvaccinated are routinely dehumanised and you even do so in your own comment.

They can quite easily change this one by getting vaccinated, people can't with their skin colour

They're people, just very stupid people who have made their own bed and now need to lie in it

I'm not advocating executing them but I just don't give a fuck about them any more and there is a BIG difference

I forgot to finish that point - TL;DR false equivalency, reap the consequences etc.

Thank you very much! Upvoted. That's exactly what we've been asking for. Some of us may have a chance to see the light of another day now. See [0] for obligatory C.S.Lewis quote. I'm really, really happy that you're not willing to push through to an actual extermination stage! I may get my brain un-freeze, my thinking ability back, my psychotic attacks subside, and who knows, I may find the reason to get a jab.

Would you make the same point about religious persecution? After all, unlike skin colour, you can easily change your belief.

Yes, if your religion caused you to harm people by just being near them because it is optional

Again, it's more false equivalency

Some religions require you to not even look at a woman that isn't covered, they need to go and live in an area where that's supported rather than expecting wider society to support that stupid standard

It's funny how you're finding more and more excuses about how your hate for this one group of people is different from anything else. Because it's always different; that's just how tribalism works.

What’s your point? How do you want people to think about the unvaccinated?

I’m sympathetic to the idea of not hating others, but it seems like you are beating around the bush here a bit.

What I'm saying is quite simple: Unvaccinated people are being dehumanised all the time. I'm not beating around the bush, I clearly stated this in my first message.

We've banned this account for repeatedly posting flamewar comments and for using HN (so far at least) as a single-purpose account. Neither of those things are ok here, and definitely not the combo.

Freedom fighters I think

I don't hate them, I find them stupid and irresponsible

It's interesting that you're pulling the moral outrage card after you've asked about this and found my beliefs consistent

If there's a choice presented to you of "do X thing and don't harm others, or don't and risk harming others" and you pick the 2nd, you're the one in the wrong, plain and simple
