the worse climate disaster gets, the more youâll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because itâs only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying whatâs being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirableâ thatâs a fascist.
they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.
itâs been 6 years since I wrote this post, and as predicted, the eugenics movement has had enormous success since then.
since writing this, millions of people have died preventable deaths from a pandemic that much of the global north pretends doesnât exist anymore.
access to healthcare is being revoked from increasing percentages of the populationâ removal of testing, accelerating vaccine prices, artificial shortages of medications (blamed on PWUD or disabled peopleâs âover-relianceâ), insurance companies automating denials, increasing criminalization of health care concerning âsexedâ traits and reproductive capacity (e.g. abortion, HRT, puberty blockers).
many places are beginning to criminalize wearing masks. doctors have even stopped wearing them. activists have even stopped wearing them.
anti-fatness is at its most blatant in years and most people have framed this acceleration of oppression as nothing more than a fashion cycle (âthin is back in!â), ableist slurs that had temporarily been deemed inappropriate by abled people are returning to common vernacular.
every climate disaster is quickly framed as people âdeservingâ it. every new pop science article that goes viral claims to have found the âcauseâ of the supposed phenomenon of the anonymous masses âdegradingâ their intelligence/IQ/cognitive abilities, and the solution presented is always Hard Work.
I need you all to pay attention to how this works.
