Autism researchers and advocates in the United States are pushing back against the creation of an autism database that is meant to track the health of autistic people in a major research study.
There isn’t a slippery slope. They are doing it. Do you need an executive order called “WE’RE DOING EUGENICS”…
I’m tired of the edging. The perpetual brink of disaster. It’s here. There are no more red lines. We passed them a long time ago. This is authoritarian America. They are doing the things. Enough with the edging.
im climaxing from fascism!
Autism registry can be used to target people with autism, invade their privacy, increase stigma, and take away their rights. But I don’t see how this is eugenics. Autism isn’t even entirely genetic.
Do you think they will care whether it’s entirely genetic or not? For Now they blame the vaccines, later they will link it to genetics and try to prevent the spreading.
You said it’s eugenics. Anyway, yeah, it’s plausible the registry could be used for eugenic reasons some day but personally I think it’s intended for all those other reasons. Let’s not slippery slope fallacy.
I’m an aging autistic, creeping towards my 50s. So, my ability and desire to mask is quickly fading, and my disabilities are getting more pronounced. My wife and I decided it would be best to apply for disability. I did this right before the worm-brained meth addict decided to go shindlers list.
I think I’m fucked.
But if you drink the same silver pills you’ll have that unique RFK voice. Well it won’t be unique if RFK also has it. And you won’t need a tan anymore! You’ll practically be transitions! Just like transitions glasses, with enough silver in your skin you’ll change colors out in the sun! Yey! Everybody wins!
the US has been taken over by what is essentially a rehashed version of the business plot, (Read Fascist sympathetic Oligarchs), and you thought we weren’t going to go back down the Eugenics road?
If there was ever a time that weaponized autism was needed.
Every smart person in this country is the direct associate/friend/partner of someone with an autism diagnosis or has a diagnosis themselves. Many with that diagnosis are highly functional and intelligent. Many have positions of some power.
What I mean is, anyone that is abhorred by this and has risen anywhere close to a lever of power in this country needs to do something about this and all of it now. The troubles are not coming. The troubles are here.
I used to say during the lockdowns “if eugenics even sneaks back into mainstream, it will bo not through crappy doctors waiting the concentration camps to reopen for experimentations, but through gymbros”. The very reason why MAGA voters trust RFK Jr. is due to photos of him being half naked and shredded, so here we are…
Entry 1: Elon Musk
His autism causes him to make nazi salutes. He should be the first to go.
I’m a Canadian with autism and I’m terrified that eventually the fascists will come here and come for me
Same here.
from Gattaca to Asshattaca
Another aspect which is not being discussed - consider with the Cass report, the UK is now requiring that transgender children be evaluated for autism.
There will be a desire to diagnosis transgender men especially as autistic - confused girls who have been “tricked” due to their vulnerability.
This is a Trojan horse for more than eugenics. This will also be used against transgender people - to say that you cannot be trans if you are autistic.
Eugenics War, when?
One of the dangers of pretending the only victims of the Holocaust were Jewish, is it ignores loads of other groups they started with…
LGBTQ, mental/physical disorders, immigrants, etc
There’s this strange belief among right wingers that as long as you don’t go after Jewish people, everything is fine.
So we’re seeing everything happen just like it did 80 years ago.
As a Christian, I really wish more people would read history and realize they’re wielding a double-edged sword… I wonder how many conservatives have The Hiding Place on their shelf?
Gotta cull the weak and undesirables in your pursuit of the Master Race. What did you think it was all about when he made IVF so much easier?
What’s the sense of memorializing an actual historic holocaust if we all go on to allow another one to happen in real time?
What’s the sense of saying ‘never again’ when it is happening right now?
Considering the “never again” crowd are doing their own, it’s pretty clear that the term in general was bullshit.
Don’t worry, people are signing petitions! I’m sure that’s all that was needed for Hitler and his Nazis to stop the holocaust of disabled people too. No need to panic. Just write your name down on this list.

We weren’t…
The entire point of the comment you replied to is we never were
You and many others like yourself heavily Amplified propaganda bullshit. Attacking the candidate that wasn’t the fascist in a two-way race. Enabling a path to victory for the fascist by just a few percentage points.
We cannot rely on people like yourself for solidarity and simple self harm prevention. They have a point. Democrats fucked up. We expect that of them. But you fucked up too. Though that hasn’t stopped you from lecturing people as if you were right.
This is eventually for all mental health diagnoses. He’s already floated the idea that people “addicted” to antidepressants will find new purpose on “wellness farms”. Out with migrant labor in with the new “mental” caste.
With the way Antisocial Personality Disorder is worded…
If Nazis were in power and you said you’d be ok punching a Nazi to stop them from deporting a US citizen to a death camp…
You just qualified for a diagnosis.
Actually fought back? Even if it was just showing up to a protest?
Also a diagnosis.
And that’s just what would actually qualify as a diagnosis, they’d just lie about all types of shit.
Like, they’re clearly not fans of due process, it’s completely plausible they’d have judges or even “law enforcement” rubber-stamping files and claiming it’s real.
They can (and looks like will) throw any random label on anyone to justify their actions
Anybody resists and we brain-staple them.
I use a low dose of antidepressants for a traumatic nerve injury. These things are used for more than mental health.
A purpose-built expressway is not the same thing as a slippery slope.
➕ 💯
Came to say the same.
An existing actuality is not a ‘slippery slope’…
🤷♂️ 🤦♀️
But if we point out that it’s happening, we’ll be called alarmists! No, it’s better to just keep saying things are going to happen, so people feel like they still have time to do nothing about it.
Oh hey, finally a “book” I’d burn
