Scope open letter responding to recent negative UK media coverage of disabled people:
https://www.scope.org.uk/news-and-stories/destructive-disability-narrative/
you'd better believe the UK media is ramping up its consent manufacturing for eugenics in the wake of the pandemic - a mass disabling event which is still ongoing, and hit britain disproportionately hard due to our government's austerity regime. personally i've seen a lot of former comrades online emboldened to speak with resentment towards disabled people *specifically* due to the pandemic's effects on society.
if there's going to be no material social response to massively increased numbers of disabled and chronically ill people, the alternative route of action is simply to harden everyone's hearts. that's one thing the UK press excels at!
so this media blitz is obviously continuing to escalate, with the telegraph running a word-for-word nazi propaganda campaign against useless eaters. keep an eye out for more of this because it seems the UK press has decided their response to the sheer cost of letting a pandemic disable people en-masse is to preemptively turn everyone against disabled people
gonna caution that if you've fallen for the "damn, online disability activists are really getting me down with their whiney pandemic precautions discourse" line that i'm seeing increasingly among online dirtbag leftists, you're already a mark for this top-down propaganda campaign, you've already been primed to be receptive to it. check yourself and your principles.
Dr Ro Smith@alex you are so right, and I absolutely hate it.
