Sending much love and solidarity to all the public health workers who have been inexplicably fired from government agencies today. The world is far less safe as a result.

I swear, this administration is what happens when you can just buy a degree. Anything you don't understand must be waste.

These agencies and the people staffing them are there BECAUSE WE NEED THEM.

@cafechatnoir @housepanther You're not dealing with rational actors. Not in the way we usually mean it, anyways. This is a purge.
...And if it kills now, it saves them the trouble of doing it themselves later.
You do not fundamentally understand what we're up against. Think of it as a case of politically contagious rabies, if that helps.
There's nothing they respect other than force. You want your country back, you're going to have to fight for it. As are we all.
...Be Ready.

@housepanther @cafechatnoir Not if we wait too long. Our odds drop the longer they have to replace authority roles with cronies.
But in the meantime we can check their pain tolerance & risk aversion thresholds. Be a damn shame if shit started happening to his Real Estate holdings one by one every time he stepped over the line, wouldn't it? Muskie boy too for that matter. They both have way too much public facing property assets to be so reckless, I'd say.

@cafechatnoir @luckytran I'm not convinced that it's general ignorance. There's a lot of eugenics ideas inherent in the policies they're moving forward.

Those beliefs are ignorant but they're also systematic and people need to recognize the patterns that were happening during 2020 and have accelerated with the recent election. They are purposeful because they hinge on beliefs that only "lesser" people need these services.

Not recognizing that worldview wastes good faith arguments on bad actors

Eugenics and/or Libertarianism. That is, there should be no government services whatsoever; everyone should pay for everything directly, and if you can't afford it, it's your fault.

@luckytran Even if I was the most fucked-up right wing nut-job ever, I still wouldn´t go after scientists, whose job it is to monitor infectious diseases and make sure, that humans (including me and my fellow fucked-up right-wing nut-jobs) stayed alive.
Then again, I never drank methylene blue and injected bleach.

That is fckng disgusting. Allowing coding geeks, under a pseudo-intellectual, to make decisions about highly specialised areas such as finance and health, 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 lead to impeachment. Then again, our elected officials override expert opinions all of the time for their own benefit and that of their donors, don't they?
