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.

Hardin went on to pioneer the idea of #LifeboatEthics, a greased slide to mass-extermination of "inferior" people (Hardin was also a #eugenicist) in order to save our planet from "overpopulation."

Hardin's flawed account of the commons is a sterling example of the problem with #economism, the ideology that underpins neoclassical economics:

In Brazil, today a group of scammers invaded the congress claiming the “right” to be #racist, #homophobic, #misogynist, and #eugenicist, and to impose their religion over others. #Fascism

#Conservatives often dislike and #discriminate against #queer people because they believe that we are not able to produce the "right" type of children. They hold #eugenicist beliefs, which consider all people as breeding stock and view reproduction as a way to create a superior society. This leads to the #dehumanization of individuals, including children, who are seen as products rather than people.

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the #transistor and the 1956 Nobel Prize for William #Shockley, have a look at the deeply #racist #eugenicist ideas he held about #intelligence. But also note that this was widespread among many physicists and engineers in postwar US and around the Rockefeller Foundation and the Eugenics Records Office (temporarily led by Vannevar Bush) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adf8117

@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.

When it comes to those of us who have been desperately seeking to move our society toward one that is less #ableist, less #eugenicist, less committed to casting the vulnerable aside and recklessly endangering lives & health for the sake of #normalcy, we know all too well how things are now.

How do we want them to be?

One where folk are willing to do simple things to protect others?

One where refusing to do such simple things continues to be normalized?

It's our choice.

Eugen—the person who first decided to create a FOSS project with a hairy pachyderm with a long proboscis for a mascot—chimed in today on #CW discourse:

"People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them."

Sure. Fine.

Except again, those of us seeking to change the #eugenicist culture we find ourselves in…

Have to decide what sort of culture we, ourselves, want to have.

This is bigger than a platform.

#CWUpMaskUp

Do we create a community for those with #LongCovid & those #StillCoviding—on this platform—that includes all those who are in full agreement that #CovidIsNotOver and are just as furious as the rest of us are about a society gone quiet-part-out-loud #eugenicist?

What if some need—from time to time—some relief from all that?

"Just don't log on! You've got filters, so what's the problem?"

"Just stay home! You've got a mask, so what's the problem?"

Can't have it both ways.
