Exactly; same ethic, different wrapper. Before the pandemic became endemic, the mask slipped because the calculus was rushed and public. Biopolitics without makeup. This is the continuation of that.
Culling is a chilling accurate term for it. Just like during the pandemic when they suggested the death of the elderly was an acceptable loss.

So, I'm just going to say it: this is market-based eugenics
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

You know what's fascinating? There's a definite alignment happening now, both here and on Twitter, in terms of appetite for blood and clarity.
Bluesky still optimizes for righetous anger at people like Larry Summers.
Twitter says instead things like "Honestly bring back HUAC at this point".

I think this comes close to naming the dynamic now: large-scale systems are converging on inference-based access gating because they can’t afford to trust the open internet anymore.
Turnstile literally issues a trust token your browser “carries” afterward.
Enforcing a behavioral model.
(Users with privacy measures, VPNs, Tor, blockers = lower trust score)
