Der Weg von der Eugenik zur Euthanasie ist so kurz wie der Weg von der Demokratie zum Faschismus.
Eugenik wird in der Magabewegung gutgeheißen. Insbesondere Musk und Kennedy treiben aktiv Eugenik mit tötlichen Folgen voran.
Das Ende von USAID, die Verteufelung von Impfungen und der Entzug der Unterstützung von (chronisch) Kranken, Behinderten und Pflegebedürftigen sind eugenische Maßnahmen, die unmittelbar töten.
#eugenic #USFascism

WOW, Amanda #Marcotte minces no words when describing the fascist and #eugenic nature of Kennedy's 'health' plans.

- punishing people for perceived personal failures by putting them into labour camps.

- work full-time, presumably for little or no pay

-ideally in a "rural area" where they are denied most contact with family and friends.

- this vision of #labour camps isn't just vibes

- fits with Trump's fascist inclinations to "purify" the country.

#ForcedSterilization is a worldwide problem!

As #Japan starts compensation payments, #ForcedSterilisation continues around the world

#NonConsensual #sterilisation of those considered genetically inferior persists in some parts of the world today

by Ewan Bolton, 18 February 2025

"Just last week, in the Miyagi prefecture of Japan, the local governor met victims of an official eugenics policy to apologise for the suffering they underwent.

"'On behalf of the prefecture, I would like to offer my heartfelt apologies for the immense suffering caused to the 900 (victims),' said Murai Yoshihiro while lowering his head.

"For many, the words 'forced sterilisation' bring to mind #NaziGermany and the devastating #eugenic policies pursued by #fascist regimes in the 1930s and 1940s. But the non-consensual sterilisation of those considered genetically inferior continued through the 20th century and persists in some parts of the world today.

"In January, victims of Japan’s forced sterilisation programme were finally able to apply for compensation for the first time. Between 1948 and 1996, at least 16,500 people were forcibly sterilised in Japan under the country’s #EugenicProtectionLaw. Nearly 60,000 more underwent #abortions without, or with only dubious consent. Most were mentally handicapped people or those with hereditary diseases.

"As Japan finally addresses this legacy, victims of forced sterilisation in #Peru are still fighting for compensation after 370,000 people were sterilised in what the UN has described as a potential crime against humanity. And in the #UnitedStates, #India, #China and parts of #Europe, non-consensual sterilisations continue to this day.

"As with the Nazis, almost all cases can be traced back to the discredited #PseudoScience of eugenics which was developed in the #UK at around the turn of the last century and had many supporters, including #WinstonChurchill.

"Japan’s Eugenic Protection Law was introduced in the wake of World War II. It granted medical institutions the right to administer sterilisations and abortions without the consent of patients. Of the 25,000 people sterilised under the programme, according to government figures only 8,000 gave consent. The legitimacy of the consent in these cases is disputed.

"A large number of the victims were children, some as young as nine years old. In Miyagi prefecture, in the northwest of the main island, more than half of the 859 sterilised between 1963 and 1981 were under the age of 18.

"At a press conference last month in Hyogo prefecture, a #DeafWoman, now in her 80s, described the emotional pain of being given an abortion without her consent. 'I was taken to the hospital, and I thought I would be going to the general medicine department. I was very surprised because I was taken to the gynaecology department … I am unable to forget what happened at that time'.

"In her prefecture alone, there are '14 or 15 other [#DeafPeople] who suffered harm' that are known about, 'but there are undoubtedly more', said Yoshimichi Hongo, chairman of the Hyogo Prefecture Association for the Deaf."

The Telegraph · As Japan starts compensation payments, forced sterilisation continues around the worldBy Ewan Bolton

Of course, @amerika
you don't try to confuse ppl about history intentionally with comments like that, don't you?
"No doubt the National Socialists had some Right-wing notions, but the Left-wing basis of their system made it unstable and prone to horrors."
— amerika@annihilation

You're not entirely wrong mentioning that there was a "lefty" wing in #DAP before it became #NSDAP, but since you ignored the #drugaddict #demagogue #noneAryan #Austria(n) #halfman of #Hitler and that he took power over in the interest of #USA #capitalism, your conclusion is 100% WRONG.

globalresearch.ca/history-of-w

Somehow you've seen "Idiocracy" and still refuse to recognize parallels — THAT'S the definition of Dunning-Kruger on a level of it's own. On the other hand, it's more likely that you are as you wrote: "far far worse than a fascist".

The strawman argument about #ArtyAdolf and that he was opposed wasn't just true for aristocrats, but for the majority of the German population (prior to the US paid "Volkisher Beobachter" and more #antiCommie propaganda BS).

The #Nazi #CoupDétat against #Democracy wasn't the only one financed by #WallStreet, the US #FederalReserve and the #BankofEngland. Try to research #Iran #Irak #Oman, #Africa and #SouthAmerica in this context, too.

Somehow, the ghost of #fascism comes up just in time to defend #neofeudal #CEOs #landlords #banks(sters) and (western) #olygarchs with #neoliberal #eugenic #populationControl #ideology always against that what you call communism. Since you as fascist aren't even one of them, it might be wise to consult your MD on effects of Stockholm syndrome.

The Guardian · The principle of human dignity must apply to all peopleBy Guardian staff reporter

The #BCndp pay #BonnieHenry upwards of 400 grand annually to professionally lie to us.

She’s paid to deny masks are useful while peddling her hand washing book. She’s paid to hide hospital outbreaks and rising death rates while minimizing #covid transmission in #bced schools and hospitals. She’s paid to publicly claim victory over a virus she’s silently embraced in pursuit of private health.

No one in #BritishColumbia voted for #BonnieHenry, yet as #PHO she calls the covid shots for all of us. No one polices #BonnieHenry, as “top doctor” she outranks us all.

I’m no longer sick of #masks, I cherish them; they’ve kept us healthy this entire pandemic. I unfortunately can’t say the same for #BonnieHenry and #AdrianDix.

Truth be told, I’m past sick of both of them. Their faces are the faces of defeat and a constant reminder of this #bcndp’s #eugenic surrender to #covid19bc.

Their briefings only serve to trigger the ongoing sadness and despair I feel for a govt I helped vote to power, who gave up on control of transmission and instead focused on restricting covid information and minimizing societal sickness and death they caused by giving up.

For #bcpoli to move forward, both #AdrianDix and #BonnieHenry must be replaced with someone less #corrupt who actually cares to combat covid.

#BonnieHenry will forever remind me of my loss of trust in public health. Whenever I see her I’m reminded of the daily lies, misinformation and all the disgusting praise she got for surrendering our province to #covid.

We in #BC deserve a fresh new #PHO. One that is less tired of lying or distracted by her next book. One without #GBD motives and a winery in addition to the exorbitant salary she gets pretending to be a doctor.

We in #BC deserve a true public health leader.

Week One:

Everyone in #bced schools is already sick with what appears to be one of the most infectious #covid variants to date, but you won’t hear anyone talking about it.

There will be no independent inquiry or exposé on how the #bcndp govt embraced this virus; gave up on expensive tracking, containment or any sort of layered protection. How this govt chose (for all of us) to accept constant societal sickness as our new norm.

The #teamaccess #bcmedia won’t inform you on how this #bcndp used #bced teachers like Guinea pigs in their own private clinical trial while #bonniehenry continued to openly lie about unchecked airborne transmission in #bced schools.

They won’t remind you how our #bcndp govt was caught hiding casualties in children with no negative press or pressure from #msm.

In our new #GBD reality, there will be no #memorial to the thousands who have perished under #Capitalism and it’s #LetErRip #Eugenic policies while this #bcndp continue to clutch their majority power.

There will be no mention of the thousands of deaths to come under this #bcndp due to politically corrupted #bcpublichealth leadership and zero accountability by friendly press.

This #bcndp govt, #bonniehenry and #adriandix will only ever work to hide, minimize and ignore the fallout from their cowardly #GreatBarrington surrender to #covid19bc.

They will only ever continue to hide the truth, continue to lie, continue to virtue signal and ultimately profit off our shared loss of community, loss of connection and loss of hope in humanity itself.

They will continue to ignore science and discriminate against our #vulnerable, constantly pushing a delusional post covid society like a desperate OxyContin doctor, all while silently sacrificing the last of us with no questions asked.

Soon they will begin their campaign for re-election, bragging about the death money they saved by giving up and accomplishing all these horrible feats in gilded secrecy.

They will try to convince us that they always cared, but we all now know “be kind and calm” was just another carefully scripted govt #PR lie.

Don’t fall for the pricey virtue signalling. Don’t consume the endless #bcndp propaganda, it’s only convincing because deception is their sole skill.

The hard truth is that these asinine “leaders” must be exiled for us to move forward. To heal we must first address the rampant virus that is our #bcgovt.

We need to work together to vote this #corrupt, #ableist #insufferable group of padded pocket politicians out! Our lives literally depend on it.

#Anarchist|s during the pandemic.

At the start of the pandemic things went pretty great. We saw many #MutualAid projects cropping up, people were shopping for each other, making and distributing masks etc. It would be presumptuous to claim that all these people were anarchists. Nevertheless such projects gave people hope. Could the pandemic, despite the humyn tragedy it represents, also be one of these moments in time when Mutual Aid and #CommunityCare could reach and maybe even convince the masses, that bottom up initiatives are fantastic and to implement them in opposition to the state makes a lot of sense.

But then the state seized its opportunity and started to use its enormous resources to implement some relatively decent policies, financial aid, eviction freezes, distribution of masks, tests, later vaccines and such. It seems to me, this had a deep impact on many anarchists. The state doing decent things for once, while, it has to be pointed out also expanding their overreach and control mechanisms, was feeding the wrong narrative and created confusion.

Many anarchists at this point turned their focus onto state overreach, understandably, or they started to fight the COVID-deniers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, even more understandably so. While, sadly, some "anarchists" joined the wrong side and could then be seen protesting along side neonazis and new ager conspiracy nuts against masks or what have you. This made the confusion even worse.

When the state started their process of normalizing this debilitating disease, and when what the Death Panel podcast has so aptly dubbed the sociological production of the end of the pandemic started, by running a vaccine only strategy, anarchists missed their chance to switch their focus yet again. This time back to communal care, to solidarity with the people most endangered by this awful disease (please believe me, i have #LongCOVID), by opposing the state, who started to herd everyone back into wage labor and consumption of goods. Instead anarchists just went along with the #ableist and ultimately #eugenic bullshit and were even some of the first to drop mask mandates at their events.

For comrades like myself, who had been debilitated by this insidious disease, who may still suffer from it, and who now just had to watch, sidelined, how they were now being excluded from participation, this was an almost even more devastating blow, than suffering from the disease itself.

To be clear, this will not be the last pandemic. The causes for zoonotic diseases (deforestation, intensive animal and industrial farming) have not been addressed. #COVID could have, no should have been! an opportunity to reach consensus on how we respond to a pandemic, starting within our community to then reach out to the masses.

We absolutely failed at this. Even in the analysis of the pandemic response very few interesting contributions came from our circles (many of the better ones came from socialists and marxists). Meanwhile many of the big anarchist writers remained stumm on the topic.

And for some of us, with a heavy heart, we are now in the process of moving away from #anarchy out of sheer disillusionment and disappointment.

It is time to grieve. It is time to scream. I am so done.

Continued thread

But here I am again, wishing that “learn to live with COVID” meant meaningful mitigation (high quality masking, affordable, & frequent testing/reporting, better #IAQ indoor air quality, education on on #COVID spread & #LongCovid) instead of excluding #disabled people from society, this new #eugenic acceptable amount of death, or the new normal of overfilled hospitals…. Silly me, I suppose
