well, we're reaching the 'useless eaters' stage. it was nice knowing all of you.
I assume you're referring to RFK Jr's comments regarding autistic people.
I'll be honest. I'm tired. Exhausted, really. I've been trying to stay as separated from today's political scene as I can, mostly for my own sanity. It's absolutely not that I don't care, it's because it's so fucking bad I can't watch it happen in real time or else I'll start crying and never stop.
The fact that we're back here, again, dealing with the Cheeto in Chief and his pettiness, his greed, his hate, his imbecilic, shortsighted, egocentric thoughts and notions is absolutely infuriating. And terrifying. He's steamrolling horrible ideas through--with his little lap dog Musk humping his leg the whole way--and Congress is letting him.
His appointees are just as unqualified as they were before, but somehow worse.
They are truly pulling out all stops and going after everyone they either don't like, or think don't contribute to their own wealth. Case in point, the comments this human skin tag made regarding autistic people:
"Autism destroys families, and more importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which is our children. They'll never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem, they'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted."
Gotta love his priorities here. "Autism destroys families, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, it destroys our greatest resource."
Sure, families may struggle and spend $$$$ getting their kids the help they need, and that can put a real strain on things. Some parents worry themselves sick about their child's future, what will happen to them when they're older. Sometimes it is really, really hard. Sometimes marriages don't survive. Sometimes parents really struggle.
But, whatevs, that's secondary to the TRUE tragedy, which is that these kids will never pay taxes or work.
(Always pay attention to the order of things said.)
He (and all his rich buddies) sees children as nothing more than the future cogs in the capitalism machine, earning more money for the billionaires filling his (and other Republicans') pockets to ensure they pay no taxes and get all regulations and laws rolled back so they can keep making as much money as humanly possible off the backs of those beneath them.
How . . . fuck, I don't even have a word strong enough for this. But it is mindboggling that someone would look at a child and essentially deem them unworthy of help, of life, simply because they won't be a good little slave for the capitalism grinder.
He's talking about my daughter, by the way. My autistic daughter, who is 17, going on 7. She is mentally and emotionally a child, who will likely never hold a job, never live independently. She'll likely never date, never marry, and never pop out more little cogs that rich assholes like this guy can take advantage of, and work to death so his billionaire buddies can make another few bucks to add to their already obscenely insane amounts of wealth.
Guys like this thrive on fearmongering. It's easier to get people on your side, get people to vote for you, get people to get behind what you want, if you appeal to their fear. Their anger and outrage. "Why should my tax dollars go to pay for such useless people?" Well, he's just zeroed in your focus, hasn't he? He'll get to the bottom of this 'autism epidemic'. He'll find the cause and eliminate it. And if people die in the process? If his hateful rhetoric spurs some of the more unstable into action against these 'useless' people in society?
Well, that's just one less useless resource, isn't it?
I'm tired. I'm just so very fucking tired of the hate. It's such a fundamentally unproductive emotion. Anger and hate and spite. So many people spend so much time focusing on others--their genitals, who they love, the color of their skin, their religion, how 'useful' they are to the meat grinder capitalism--instead of just minding their own fucking business and going on with their lives.
I couldn't imagine being so angry about how someone else lives, if they're not hurting me or affecting my life in the slightest. I just don't understand it. I really don't.
Saw Luigi Mangione trending on here and, unfortunately, most of it IS just people thirsting after him or trying to turn him into their blorbo. If you guys want to stay updated on the case, his defense team created this site to look through.

when I was a kid for some reason I thought Lola Bunny's last name was "Rabbit" and that she was actually Jessica and Roger's daughter. And the reason she wasn't in the original Loony Tunes is just that she wasn't born yet
I mean can you blame me. Look them and look at her. She's got a good blend of both of their features.
