You’ll cover your eyes + ears to avoid reality. But you won’t cover your nose + mouth to face reality. 👌☑️

So it’s no surprise the modern day left continues to adopt terms made by the far right to dehumanize and harm marginalized groups of people It IS quite bad that people have more resources now than ever to identify and avoid terms born from fascism and discrimination — yet don’t

“Everyone else has moved on” is not an argument against disability rights. Those rights exist precisely because social consensus has historically been a terrible safeguard against ableism and eugenics.

They use Nazi rhetoric all the time to describe the disabled - useless, lazy, narcissistic, mentally unwell. They’re not having original thoughts about how disabled people navigate life. They’re repeating cult speak

This is how you bury an ongoing pandemic Australia did something similar with excess deaths Creating their new normal by sweeping the old normal under the rug it doesn’t matter how many infected, disabled or dead as long as the numbers are reassuring and memories are faded
The CDC raised its benchmark for levels of the Covid virus in wastewater, adjusting a key metric for assessing the disease’s transmission. As a result, officials may now classify a level that once counted as high transmission as moderate instead. nbcnews.com/data-graphics/cd…

I have Covid right now. Because people aren't testing or masking once they know they have it. It's almost a bravado thing with certain guys to boast that it was and is nothing. Well, that's not true. Someone's nothing Covid is someone's major Covid.

The disconnect between the millions of dollars being thrown at biosecurity / biodefense right now and the simultaneous mocking of people wearing masks is so painfully, tragically stark. A respirator is a tool, just like a biosensor or a biological countermeasure.

Keep punching down on disabled activists & other marginalized groups while these rich motherfuckers are stealing from all of us, and discarding the most vulnerable to the wayside, & manufacturing consent for everyone to accept that. Very progressive & revolutionary of you.

It is very apparent that everyone’s willingness to move on from the pandemic by living with unmitigated spread and the risk of serious long term health issues was a precursor to our immense complacency with just about every other aspect of our lives getting worse.

The social pressure to conform into the Covid denial all boils down to the same argument, follow the crowd. That’s it, that’s all they have. There are so many forms and creative methods to exert that pressure, but underlying it all is that same argument.

Sunk cost fallacy is also a big factor fueling their ableist violence and scapegoating.
I think sunk cost fallacy is playing a huge role in fueling minimizers’ entrenched denial of the danger and seriousness of population-wide long-term damage and disability from Covid.

i'm sure it eases your conscience to lie to yourself that everyone marginalized by covid is a neurotic scold who never wants to leave the house. it would be horrifying to realize that most of us are actually being forced into an exclusion we do not desire

The main issue is health literacy. Some people are able to track transmission, Long COVlD data, and read the Swiss Re report. Others just post questions on Twitter complaining that people they don't like understand hygiene and public health.

The PMC model estimates that approximately 1 in 21 people in #PuertoRico are actively infectious with COVlD. Under the Standard CDC reporting, this would be classified as Very High (Muy Alto), but because the CDC is #bluewashing, it is only classified as "High" ("Alto").

Its wild to be part of disability community and watch so many people joining our ranks who will not admit theyre disabled and who would spit on us in a heartbeat. Even on the most individualistic level, if you hate disabled people, you'll probably end up hating yourself some day
