I’m immune compromised - would you mask for me?
“No! Stay home forever!”
I can’t stay home I need food - can I order in?
“Do it yourself! It’s entitled and privileged to get delivery! SURELY you can use a microwave!”
I’ve got a family member to help me.
“Don’t be a burden!”
I need the hospital so I’m going to wear a respirator.
“Haha that’s illegal now!”
This is genuinely how it feels to be a high risk disabled person in society right now. It’s not enough that the loudest voices won and governments basically dismantled all covid protections, reporting tools, testing etc… they still scream at us for trying to protect ourselves. We stay home and rely on gig economy & delivery services and we’re exploiting others. We ask people to mask and we’re tyrants. We try to mask ourselves and we’re mocked and teased and now at least one US State is actively trying to criminalize medical masks.
Yet whenever I bring up eugenics I’m shouted down and told I’m exaggerating - despite the fact that a large portion of society very clearly doesn’t want disabled people to survive (and they certainly won’t lift a finger to help us).
It feels terribly bleak and I wish the “my freedom” crowd would recognize that disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. Governments won’t stop with us. We’re just unlucky enough to be first.
