it’s 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 doesn’t exist anymore.
access to healthcare is being revoked from increasing percentages of the population– removal of testing, accelerating vaccine prices, artificial shortages of medications (blamed on PWUD or disabled people’s “over-reliance”), insurance companies automating denials, increasing criminalization of health care concerning “sexed” 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 (“thin is back in!”), ableist slurs that had temporarily been deemed inappropriate by abled people are returning to common vernacular.
every climate disaster is quickly framed as people “deserving” it. every new pop science article that goes viral claims to have found the “cause” of the supposed phenomenon of the anonymous masses “degrading” their intelligence/IQ/cognitive abilities, and the solution presented is always Hard Work.
I need you all to pay attention to how this works.
