They haven’t declared war on autism. They’ve declared war on science and knowledge in general.
I hate to say it because it’s become a cliche, but it’s Idiocracy.
To continue the cliche, it’s worse. They still recognized the value of intelligence in Idiocracy.
I had forgotten that, but you’re right.
No, it’s fascism. Part of the fascist playbook is the removal of the arts and the sciences.
Within 10 years Hollywood will not be allowed to produce anything not approved by the government.
Don’t forget the war on anti fascists.
Europe, your shit stinks too. You’re still trying to ram through installing wiretaps on everyone’s devices, outlawing encryption and VPNs, your protesters in favor of the Palestinian people are still being brutalized and imprisoned, nearly all of your countries are moving farther and farther towards fascism themselves.
Da fuck you doing over there yourselves?
The US is under the control of the fourth reich, yes, and following the exact same playbook as Nazi Germany did (trans folks, disabled people, our very own Reichstag, etc). Just please watch your own shit too.
Fascist March in Rome two weeks ago.
Sadly true. But in Europe, things don’t only move towards the shitters. Which gives me hope.
Anyway, europe might have to look into the French playbook.
First the
non-whitesimmigrants, then scholars, now the non-neurotypicals. This pattern looks awfully familiar.Nothing good. The bad people are winning, and the rest of us are in distress. It’s hard to explain…
Imagine your job is no longer secure. Imagine your afraid of going to the doctor, because treatment for anything other than something basic could bankrupt your entire family.
You’re now 15% along your way to understanding Americans.
Your leader needs a makeover, giving him the looks of this cat
Also trans people, brown people, women, gay people and anyone whose politics are more left than hitlers.
Trumps mad cause he cant pronounce acetaminophen, as such he’s waging war on the name brand Tylenol saying it’s linked to autism. When in reality he just cant pronounce it so yeah. Word is he’s taking on tums next saying “eating driveway chaulk works just the same, trust me”
What is going on, fake causes of diseases and anti Vax is the tip of the iceberg.
Medicalization of social problems: Medical practitioners played a central role in promoting and implementing the regime’s goals by redefining social and political issues as medical problems. The state was framed as the primary “patient,” and its “health” required the elimination of undesirable elements.“Life unworthy of life”: This central principle (LebensunwertesLeben) was used to justify the killing of those considered a biological and financial burden on society. It targeted individuals with physical and mental disabilities, including those deemed “feebleminded,” chronically ill, or otherwise “defective”.
Forced sterilization: The 1933 “Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases” mandated the involuntary sterilization of those diagnosed with alleged hereditary ailments, such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, Huntington’s chorea, and “feeblemindedness.” By the end of the Nazi regime, an estimated 400,000 people were forcibly sterilized.
The T4 Euthanasia Program: Beginning in 1939, this program involved the systematic murder of institutionalized patients with physical and mental disabilities. Initially involving children, the program expanded to adults, killing an estimated 250,000 people.
Eugenics was very popular before WWII, that’s definitely not limited to a single country.
The US waged a campaign of sterilization in Puerto Rico to slow down it’s population growth and to prevent it from becoming a state. The US also regularly sterilized Latinas up until the 1970’s
Yeah, and we’re in good company.
(To be clear, this is reprehensible. But it’s not helpful to focus solely on the US on this topic.)
Empires took centuries to completely fall, but now everything moves a lot faster…
Is that real? This is really my only social media platform
Yeah, they declared Tylenol was causing autism, causing lots of people to be outraged, especially those who are blaming vaccines as the “actual” cause for it. Absolute chaos.
So the people who know better are mad and the people who are fucking whacky are mad. This seems like a low percentage move.
What’s their problem with autism? Are they just using it as a tool to scare people away from certain things? Is the average knowledge about autism in the US really this far behind?
They started with the immigrants and “criminals.” Then they openly said to imprison the homeless. Now they’re targeting comedians, judges, sexual minorities, and the neurodivergent while laying the groundwork to declare political opponents terrorists.
Autism? I thought they meant autumn…
I was saying autumn this entire time. Summer forever, not one step back!
Ew. If I could have peak fall year-round, I’d be in heaven.
The second it gets cold outside we will declare war on climate change.
Distraction
It gets dumber. Worm brain and no brain now state confidently that autism is because the mother took a paracetamol. They’re incredibly stupid “people”.
It sets up the legal framework to charge parents of autistic children with child abused and take away their kids.
It’s already been happening in Oklahoma btw. Can’t get the fucking news to cover it.
I haven’t heard of this. What has happened?
Look at what was happening at the Greer Center.
It’s all across the state. Very deeply entrenched - look at how the whistle blower had her pictures posted around town/was sexually harassed in retaliation for bringing up the physical abuse of children/vulnerable adults.
I have personally begged news outlets to cover things like DHS not reporting missing, DHS throwing away reports of abuse, cover ups…. No one cares. Everything’s Sinclair.
If we ever return to federal sanity, maybe things will get investigated. But childcare and mental health care and education here are hellish.
waterboarding
Jesus
Anyone who says this stuff to me I’m going to just retort it by blaming it on other scientifically unsound reasons. Not because it will help, but because it will be entertaining for me. “Any father who ate red meat in the week leading up to insemination increased the chances of autism from near 0, to 1 in 50.”
Studies show that sexual congress in a north-south orientation results in an 83% increase in autism diagnosis.
Sexual congress… My studies show that members of congress may die from heart failure if they have sex.
The little kids they predate would probably appreciate that.
If you blame red meat a lot of these people will just nod and rub their chin knowingly. There are a lot of crunchy hippies who have completely disconnected from reality. But I guess reducing meat consumption isn’t a bad thing
Yeah maybe you get less cows and more people focusing on a healthier diet when trying to procreate. With any luck it’ll lead into them trying to stick with healthier choices for them and the kids long term, but that’s just wishing. I know I make bad decisions and backslide all the time. Whether it be dietary, alcohol… Answering comments of upset people who you can’t reason with. I do it all
It’s a correlation doesn’t equal causation issue. Iirc years ago there was a study showing that certain viral infections during pregnancy might be linked to autism.
Guess what people often take for symptom relief?
The influence of genetics is very clear, with anticipation up the spectrum with every generation, especially with older parents.
No one in austism research is taking environmental factors seriously in the last decade.
