Honest question: why don’t radical leftists agree to volunteer at group homes for disabled adults or become special education teachers?
As the fear of mass eugenics is becoming a reality in America, we can all see how the disabled (in particular, people with intellectual disabilities and neurodivergent differences) will soon be set up for mass eradication. The disabled aren’t “parasites” but full and equal human individuals who deserve respect, dignity and autonomy. They are hated in capitalism on the basis that they aren’t “useful” to the system. We also see instances where RFK is trying to wipe out autistic identities by creating a eugenicist “autism registry.”
Given this, why aren’t radical leftists dedicating most of their activism towards fighting and advocating for the disabled? Or dedicating their time and every to caring for those who are entirely dependent on the care of others to survive. Truth is we ALL need care from others. Why focus on any other issue when eugenics is the biggest evil in our world today and needs to be defeated before anything else?
I strongly believe radical leftists need to work and care for disabled people and we can start doing that by agreeing to be special Ed teachers (and thereby advocate for disabled children) or work at group homes for disabled adults. That’s a much better use of our energy and VALUES than protesting or political organizing. Eugenics is at the heart of capitalism and there’s no revolution without the disabled.

Why shouldn’t leftists be the ones taking care of them?
If you have to ask that question, you are woefully naive. The "helpers" aren't there to help you.
Mostly though, people in these homes are left to their own devices, caged like animals and then told to figure out whatever is left of their life. Inmates are used as slaves, lower than slaves.
The mass eradication order is in motion. It will not be stopped. You don't take back mass drugging and poisoning and the humiliation rituals. You don't take back what was done in the 1990s. There is no future. How can there be after that? The damned do not want your "help". They want their lives back. If you cared, you would grant a completely unconditional dispensation of wealth and not suppress the defectives, their caregivers, or those genuinely interested in the general welfare when they speak publicly. It is the open conspiracy that we are not allowed to say what this has been that is the most galling and insufferable.
Soon it will be openly acknowledged that slavery is the human default and despotism is the correct political concept. You assured that in the 1990s, but you weren't going to have a world where you can say no to that. That is the truth. I will never understand the sickening mentality that takes freedom for granted, but these people have slithered everywhere and tasted their blood. Why would they ever be different? What they did in the 1990s they will do to all of you. They decide who lives and who dies, and that power is all that remains in this society.
If nothing else, the damned will be culled by selective breeding. This is what humans always have been. There has never been a period of human history without large and wholly unnecessary exterminations of the populace, carried out openly, proudly, and exultantly. No one seriously suggested that it would be any different, and the eugenists were the first to manufacture the "rights" narrative specifically to attack notions of civil and legal rights that had been established in liberal societies. The defectives have no rights and that was never the contention they made. The defectives wanted to not be attacked for bullshit that created nothing but a living Hell for all mankind, to the benefit of fucking Satanics, unless those defectives are enablers and that happens more often than you'd think.
If you really care, you would just shut up and stop saying stupid shit like this. We're going to die, most of us will self-terminate at some point to have some choice over how this ends. That's a freedom we may yet possess. There is nothing to say about the matter except the obvious, unless you want to seriously ask why humanity turned out this way. I have no qualms affirming that slavery is the condition of the human race, and you should stop lying about the matter. It is settled law AND above Law.
>>2340896Wouldn't disabled people benefit from a socialist economy coming to fruition?
This is a frankly liberal notion of pity, without truly grasping at what the real material reality is for the working class. Leads me to believe you don't experience those pressures…
As a member of the working class, I strain to find the time or the resources to do more than continue to exist, to be able to afford rent, food, etc. I wouldn't begrudge your efforts to donate time or money to helping the disabled, but honestly most actual working class people don't have the luxury of having spare time OR money especially if they dedicate any time to activism. If you have the time or money, you have quite the surplus of either that I do not have.
And perhaps that time or money could be better spent.

>>2351968Don't I am a member of a working class to me. If you are in favor of social murder, you are a reactionary, working class or not.
>>2348973I know OP is a troll, but it needs to be said that disability is becoming quite romanticized in leftist spaces to the point where comrades are outright glorifying intellectual disability as something "wholesome". People who say this, regardless as to what their politics are, have no fucking clue what intellectual disability actually entails and how fucking horrid it is in terms of quality of life.
I think the worst thing I've heard recently, in regards to the news of CRISPR successfully curing Down Syndrome in a fetus, was someone saying something that they would only support such a thing if it was possible to CRISPR out the physical disabilities that come with Down's but keep the intellectual disability, because the ID "makes the person whom they innately are" or some shit. I wanted to punch that person in the fucking face. Why would you ever want your child or anyone else's child to have the mind of an eternal child? It reminds me way too much of anti-vaxxers who deliberately want their kids getting measles in order to "build up natural immunity". "I want my kid to be defective and sick because I want to use my kid's disability to push an agenda."
As an RN, let me tell you: the brain is an organ just like any other and it deserves to be healthy. We already take prenatal vitamins like B12 and folate to ensure good brain development in the fetus. Delivery room nurses go out of their way to prevent brain damage at birth. Is that "eugenics" too?
>>2351968>Marx was too busy suffering from boils on his ass to write about disability while he worked on Das Kapital,People with chronic skin ailments aren't the people whom OP and the others ITT are talking about. They're specifically talking about intellectually disabled adults who need to be in assisted care homes.
>>2351989>reactionary<irony lolAll you referenced from my post is that I mentioned my class, calling me reactionary without discrediting any of the rest of my post. You'll have to forgive me, but this reeks of bourgeois moralism and an attempted co-option of Marxist language. It impresses no one but other idiots.
And what is this 'social murder'? And what gives you the right to talk down to me, just because I'm not buying into your bullying and sticking to Marxist analysis?
Go to bluesky if you are determined to keep being a reactionary lib.
>>2342722>>2342731>>2342755>>2342934What's very telling is how the majority of people who aborted for Down's say they didn't do so because they were seeking a "perfect" child but because they were risk-adverse. I can confirm as a nurse that there are millions of little things we do as part of our job to avoid unnecessary risk, the most basic one being handwashing and masking up. Vaccines, likewise, are taken because people are risk-adverse and are smart enough to know that the potential side effects of vaccines are dwarfed by the very real effects of the illnesses that vaccines prevent.
Let me just inform everyone here that your child's health is nothing to gamble with, and risk-aversion should be necessary. Yes, there's a chance your kid with an intellectual disability could be on the "mild" end of the spectrum and learn how to read and write, but there's a much, much bigger chance that your kid with an ID will have a shit quality of life and never be more than a potato. Choose wisely.
>>2340607>”disabled identities”This is like saying poverty is an identity.
Under socialism we would use SCIENCE to eliminate mental retardation and physical disabilities like blindness and deafness to give people inflicted by these things full lives. Chinese scientists are already working on this exact thing as we speak.
It’s only in the moralistic Anglo countries that retardation and the like are seen as worth of “preserving”.
>>2353336Is it wrong I don’t blame them?
Imagine having to forego revolutionary organizing because you’re stuck taking care of this.
>>2350496>With automation and workers’ control the general population would have far more leisure time and could dedicate their time to bring care workers for the disabled. The opposite, actually. The more leisure time people have the more they refuse to take up any burdensome work.
You know how all the Scandinavian countries have notoriously high rates of abortion for Down's? For Iceland, it's over 99%. For Denmark, it's over 95%. For Finland, it's also around 95%. The reason being is, Scandinavians place a lot of value on leisure in their culture (half my family is Danish so I know Scandinavian culture quite well). Raising a medically complex child means you have zero leisure time since you're tending to your child's support needs 24/7. See what I mean?
Under socialism, where the workday would be significantly reduced and everyone would have their basic needs met, almost no one would want to go back to doing extremely gruelling labour, including taking care of severely disabled people. They would want to live their lives to the fullest without limitations since they'd no longer be chained to a soulless, low-wage job and such.
