Covid as a class disease

Covid as a class disease

This piece linked from Ace has an interesting thought. The brunt of the disease was to born by the lower classes, while the upper classes were to be protected. As Ace pointed out, this is a sign of an illiberal society.

That observation had gotten by me. It seems astute, maybe because of that! How did I miss it? Maybe I'm not in one of those upper class types. But all kidding aside, I DID miss it. Yes indeedy. It DOES look like the drum I've been banging on all these months about them being like commies. In the former Soviet Union, which prided itself on its egalitarian outlook, there was a definite class structure. If you belong to the Party, you got all the breaks. If not, you were consigned to the lower regions of society. This observation of Ace's has all the hallmarks of that failed state.

The hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife. They expected the blue collar types, which they despise and look down upon, to deliver the goods and keep things running. They could hide out at home and escape the disease. Pure commie tactic! Reeking with hypocrisy, with them claiming higher moral status than all those troglodytes who didn't wear masks, and refused the vaccines. Then THEY get sick anyway, and now it is nothing to be ashamed of.

You don't need to have Covid to be sicko. These are the same ones who are so morally degenerate that they are now pushing pedophilia like they did with homosexuality. The hypocrites will get even more holier than thou. They really do believe that they are better. Shoot, that old Mahablog gal once said it. She said "we are better than they are". Remember when Nancy Pelosi got riled up when she was asked if she hated Trump? That question hit her where she lived. Why, all they good people don't have an ounce of hate in their hearts. They are so pure and everything. They really believe their own bullshit.

Our "Democracy" is in peril, they say. No. Something is in peril, but it isn't "our Democracy". It is their privileged spot in that society that's at risk. It's eating them up inside. No telling what they are capable of in order to keep that station in life.
