Are vaccines a fair trade off in Western countries?

Devils advocate here.

Think of what the rich give a fair share of people in the west.

They give you:

> a job
> a house to live in
> a car
> food
> if you're lucky, some money to buy luxury goods

Since they give you all theses things, why shouldn't they be able to demand you have to get a vaccine to retain the comforts they provide you?

And this is the philosophy most people are taking. They're saying "Hey, the ruling class have given me all this stuff that makes my life less miserable. Why am I going to ruin that deal over an experimental vaccine?".
"I am a rational animal who occupies the intermediary position between angel and beast"

"The upper class is afforded their position by the collective burden the underclass must carry for them"

If that was the case then why is the federal government leveraging the wealthy to impose vax mandates?

You take the vax, or the banks take your stuff away.

Simple.

No, the banks lend, with an option at the end of the contract.

You think most people own their cars and homes? lol

More like:

I provide them with a valuable service that makes them more profitable and secure so they give me money in exchange

They purchase my house for me and then I pay them more than they paid for it, resulting in profit for them.

I purchase vehicles from them which makes them money.

I buy food from them which results in profits on their end.

I buy other goods and services which many corporations profit from.



If I’m already doing all of that for them why should I also be required to inject borderline useless concoctions into my body?

Well, here's the thing. If the majority of people were solely reliant on their wages, with out asking the banks for help, they'd be living outside. This goes for all the peons who think six figures is a chit ton of money in the bigger picture. Our officials in government spend that much on curtains for their offices. It's nothing.

Debt is a form of ownership. Your life is out of your destiny at that point when you accept it. You have been given the privilege to live a certain way, because some body with capital was willing to lend you what you need to survive.

So, since the wealthy do this for you, why shouldn't they have the right to require you to get vax'd?

Simple, because the value you think you have is a delusion.

You own nothing. People that own capital will own capital regardless.

You're not in a position to negotiate. You're a laborer.

You're making a lot of assumptions and painting a diverse group of people on a forum with the same brush.

If none of us are in a position to negotiate then how have so many people left their jobs to find others that don’t require the injection?

Because they have the power to do so and are the type to use it.

Rich people don't run chit. The powerful hold out their hands and the rich rush to put money in it so that they can receive social status and safety in return.

This is false. In previous generations, when wealth was much smaller, there was more people living in the same household. That's where one of the fallacies comes from that household earnings have gone down.

Second, people would rent.

So no, we wouldn't be "living outside"

In a capitalist economy, the agreement is that they create a business, and you provide labor for monetary compensation. Benefits are incentive to work for them. Forcing people to get a vaccine is interrupting the value system. But what interrupted the value system. A third party. As I've said before, what makes this bad is that you cannot have more than two people involved in a transaction. The elites and business owners are now making decisions based on the incentives being given by government. This third party interferes with the value system. This is why fascism is so bad and we should be fighting against this.

That’s not negotiating. That’s capital telling you to get fuk’d. You’re not special.

The rest is just assumptions.

You don’t understand government and lobbying. There is no third party.

Corporations are the government. And I’m not talking peon small business owners. I’m talking about corporations telling small businesses they have to lock down, while they absorb their clientele.

Your first paragraph doesn’t even make sense, and I’ve debunked your talking points a million times.

Over the last three decades 55 trillion has been transferred from the middle class to the extremely wealthy.

In your explaining why we no longer live in a capitalist society, which is why I said fascism is bad.

Government should not be involved in fiduciary transactions.

Of course my first comment didn’t make sense, because it’s knowledge you don’t have.

You haven’t debunked anything. You just think your ideas are “debunking“. You need to stop thinking like a Marxist
