Fascists believe that only the strongest should survive and everyone else must die. So if you get sick and die it proves you were inherently inferior and didn’t deserve to live. Eugenicism and the abuse of evolutionary theory are rife among the far right. And they all assume that they themselves are the Übermenschen whose genetic superiority will protect them from disease, so they have no need for government protection, unlike their inferiors. They’ll believe this right up until they’re in intensive care with bird flu, whereupon they’ll start panicking and changing their minds, just like Republicans did under COVID. But this message won’t get through to their peers because their peers too don’t care about it until they themselves are in trouble. Unless they’re wealthy, in which case they’ll buy themselves the care they’re denying to others, and consider this very fact proof that they are superior and deserve to live.
That’s right, they have those magic beds.
