Licho<p>Most people think that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evolution</span></a> is about dying, but it's not really the full story. It's also about not being born at all. What if people are actually evolving under the extreme pressure of the modern capitalism? The question remains - is humanity under active eugenics and they are selecting us to be their submissive cattle or are we evolving some immunity to the parasites? </p><p>Are the few people who do have children under those terrible conditions the ones who treasure their wholesome relationships over career or those who thrive as the slaves? I don't think it's actually being studied in this context. It feels creepy to even put those questions on the table.</p><p>Nevertheless, I think that humanity after the full societal collapse will be different from Homo Sapiens. We have reached the limit of that evolutionary plateau. 300k years was a good run. Good Game people!

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>If you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.</p><p><a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/eugenics-isnt-dead-its-thriving-in-tech/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">motherjones.com/politics/2025/</span><span class="invisible">01/eugenics-isnt-dead-its-thriving-in-tech/</span></a></p><p>Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech</p><p>"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterThiel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAfrica</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigData</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Billionaires</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ableism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dystopia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eliminationism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eliminationism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Technofascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Technofascism</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>I just had a guy get angry at me for saying we’re still in a pandemic. He said it was fear mongering and “silly” to continue to take precautions. </p><p>He then went on to say his wife has Long Covid and he’s had Covid “at least 4-5 times”. </p><p>This attitude is why we’re in this mess. His own wife was disabled by Covid, and rather than adapt his behaviour he’s exposed her 4-5 additional times. </p><p>Repeat infections are devastating to those with Long Covid. Not to mention each infection does cumulative damage, and eventually you will be left disabled. </p><p>Even if you’re someone who believes it’s “just a flu”… surely you recognize people didn’t get the flu 4-5 times in a four year period? Being sick that often is an aberration, and a darn good reason to take precautions. </p><p>You know who hasn’t had COVID 4-5 times? People who are taking precautions. </p><p>Bonus tip: If you’re masking and you become infected anyways, you’ve reduced your viral load AND you’ve made sure not to infect anyone else.

Broadwaybabyto<p>When I started The Disabled Ginger I sent it to my friends and family … as most of us do. </p><p>I was proud that I was finally standing up for disability rights. That I was taking my pain and putting it on the page in an effort to help others. That I had found something that lit a spark inside me. </p><p>Unfortunately, many of my friends didn’t feel the same way. </p><p>My disabilities are invisible, and I had become very good at hiding them. Apparently that’s what people expected of me, as they didn’t like this “new” version of Kelly. </p><p>Almost none of my friends subscribed. What’s worse, many stopped talking to me. Or would only reply in brief texts. </p><p>It’s almost been a year since I launched, and my circle is noticeably smaller. Many people I thought I was close with haven’t reached out for nearly 6 months. </p><p>When you find your purpose and your passion, it’s an incredible feeling. Hopefully people support you. </p><p>Not everyone will. And that’s ok. </p><p>It’s painful seeing so many relationships fade away. It hurts knowing they don’t see the value in me now that I’m “officially” disabled. </p><p>As painful as it is, it’s also a perfect example of why I became an advocate. Ableism is a huge problem. Being disabled can be incredibly lonely. I wanted to give a voice to those who haven’t yet found theirs. </p><p>In the process I’ve met incredible people from all over the world who inspire me to keep going. Who give me a reason to write every day. Who remind me of the compassion, love and goodness that’s still out there. </p><p>Thank you to each and every one of you. I couldn’t do this alone. </p><p>My latest looks at the reasons we hide, and what would happen if we all decided to stop hiding and show the world the realities of chronic illness: </p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/why-are-chronically-ill-people-forced" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/why-are-c</span><span class="invisible">hronically-ill-people-forced</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityrights</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a></p>
Robot Diver<p>So this is my rage with Canada. The basic cost of living in BC is $2200/month which is a very low ball number based on experience. Rent on a shitty studio apartment will run you over $1000/month, same for a room in a house.<br>BC is one of the most expensive provinces in Canada to live in. We have waitlists for affordable housing of at least 7 years in most places and those are mainly family living for people with children and don't address single disabled people. Our homeless population counts thousands of disabled people amongst it.</p><p>As a disabled person with a partner, I am disqualified from even accessing PWD because she has an income and so I am just seen as her dependent. I can access a small tax rebate when I can work and that is all the support we get. It took me four years and three denials to access this. </p><p>I am of the mindset that BC is consistently participating in passive eugenics when it comes to the disability community at large, not just when it comes to masking, but on all levels. </p><p>(For my Brit friends, this is just over £9000 a year.)</p><p><a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/disabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityRights</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/howIsThisLegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>howIsThisLegal</span></a></p>
