For anyone who may have missed the memo:

That anti-disability law is also an anti-sedition law…

Coming soon to a state legislature near you…

Just as those anti-homeless laws are also anti-protest laws.

Beginning to see a pattern?

Clearing Bedouin encampments.

Clearing homeless encampments.

Clearing protest encampments.

The same .

The same underwritten.

The same of dispossession.

The same .

Clearly.

& classpostures

Anti-homeless ordinances being used against student protests, you say?

Instruments of being employed to suppress dissent, you say?

Whodda thunk?

—unlike categorical class—is about relations to power as a matter of praxis, a matter of habit, a matter of habitus.

classposture is a lumpen relation: to camp in protest is to inhabit relations not by nor postures claimed by workerists, but as the unaccommodated, the nuisance.

Seeing a lot of "bad politics are due to covid brain damage" discourse today, including from those would want to believe ought know better.

Please stop.

The seeds for the orchard that is our current moment were planted well before even the SARS outbreak of 2002, like decades, if not centuries, before.

When our politics is fascists saying we have to support fascism to defeat the other fascists, please don't try to make sense of health supremacism by resorting to ableism.

It's not a good look.

@DavidM_yeg Ableism, as one kyriarchal intersection among many, was making our political nightmare bad well before more folk joined ranks of .

Historically, when question "Why is our society such a nightmare?" is met with response "It's because of all the disabled people; it's because of all the damaged people…."

Yeah, don't need to follow those terrible beliefs, that devaluing of other people, to its Godwin's law conclusion.

Ableism is fucking shit politics.

"The economic cost to not care for one another is X. It would be cheaper to just care for one another."

Yes, it would. That premium isn't a fiscal oversight nor civic shortsightedness. Is not that math hasn't been done vis-à-vis tax dollars spent.

That premium is what those of are willing to pay to maintain legibility of classposture.

A premium paid willingly & with purposeful intent.

Or, as others have said succinctly:

The cruelty is the point.

So long as sentiment fetishizes work and workers, as definitive of exploited virtue, those rendered unable to work, by structural harms, will continue to be tossed aside.

Defenestrative fascism is, by necessity, dependent on investment, of the self-identified worker, in , without which would be illegible—is the fear of becoming lumpen that assures its certain eventuality.

Any worker is but waiting to happen.
