“Effective public health would require valuing the public, consistently and without concession, which modern society repeatedly demonstrates it cannot do as long as the public contains devalued populations, even if that results in adversity for everyone else too. Eventually, to suffer in such societies is to mark yourself outside their social contract, because if you were among those that belonged you wouldn’t be struggling.”
—AYESHA A. SIDDIQI
“Genocidal cultures cannot produce an investment in public health because they never reached a committed consensus on who belongs.”
—AYESHA A. SIDDIQI
Any deity who creates a hell for some people is incapable of truly loving anyone.
Any society that disposes of some people in prison will eventually put everyone there.
