I've encountered serious cognitive dissonance when trying almost every type of angle to try & get more health care worker colleagues to wear masks at work. Facts, empathy with former colleagues who are too disabled from long covid to return to work, effects of kids, etc. Some folks are gripping on to denial & it's harming public health safety at large. The ones who don't want to mask up around patients always parrot #eugenicist #BonnieHenry BS too.
It has taken me a lot of restraint to not fully lose it on folks who behave like that.

Perhaps later modules of the #COVID-19 #Inquiry report will ask to what extent #SocialDarwinist and #eugenicist politicians knowingly or intentionally crafted policy that widened inequality. Political leaders did not care about #disabled, #older, #deprived and financially #precarious people. They possibly committed #democide, accelerating deaths of people with high social welfare costs (and inadvertently causing even greater levels of long-term illness & unemployment).

Warning: Twitter link

This person who seems to have a lot more people on their side than I do is going up against the #antimask #COVIDdenial #eugenicist policies of Commerce Bank twitter.com/Helenreflects/stat and I really hope they can successfully sue the place for #discrimination and make an example of them so that places like the shitty credit union that discriminated against me and gaslighted me about it will be put on notice. #CovidIsntOver and #Covidinfection is no joke. Being forced to remove your mask, no matter if it's "momentarily", is a risk that nobody should have to take.

X (formerly Twitter)Helen De Cruz on XHere's the sign. In an ongoing public health situation, especially with an uptick in cases, it should be the case that customers can protect themselves if they wish with a mask.

A high-end hotel in the #liberal #Texas enclave of #Austin is playing host to a conference whose theme is boosting global birth rates, but which will in fact feature racist and #eugenicist internet personalities and #farright media figures.

They only sent this to me once I demanded that they explain themselves in writing, BTW. They tried to just straight up lie to me over the phone and claim that it had always been their policy to force people to unmask. They carefully avoid doing so in this letter. I would like to fucking know who changed this policy, when it changed, and why it changed. Because I was trying to fucking deposit my money in my account when I was denied service, so they can't exactly pretend I was going to rob the bank, hidden by my COVID mask. Yet that's exactly what this letter implies. It's just completely disgusting, #eugenicist bullshit. Just like the #eugenics doctors who forcibly sterilized thousands of Americans over the decades, these eugenicists will also likely face no meaningful consequences for their actions.

#Longtermism has been criticized for being essentially anti-democratic, leaving humanity’s future up to a select handful of super-wealthy people and their potentially dubious personal beliefs. For example, longtermist thought—in particular, Bostrom’s concern over “#dysgenic pressures”—has been criticized as being #eugenicist.

@blkchimera Hence the need for a #lumpentheory that begins its critique not with the glorification of work and the worker vis-à-vis capitalist exploitation, but instead with the #ableism, the eugenics, the #whiteness, that binds and holds fast those of #conveyancée, #disaccommodation and #conquistadas #classposture vis-à-vis colonial extraction.

Any move to elide or erase dispossession—as Marx did with his "passive decaying matter"—is #eugenicist at its core. Such cannot be our starting point.
