People I know are talking about writing to their senators and I’m just like man. We’re so far past that

When no one rioted after Roe vs. Wade was overturned, I think most of the fascists were like “oh yeah, no one is gonna stop us” and so far they’ve been basically correct

@sidereal I had the same thought about Western democratic governments and COVID. They successfully disappeared a still ongoing pandemic, now they're less circumspect about dismantling the rule of law in their countries. Some more blatant than others, but all going into the same direction.

@Heidentweet @sidereal

I've been trying to think about how this connects to the pandemic too, bc it absolutely does.

Disability activists like Imani Barbarin and the people from Death Panel have been warning about this for years now.

@Heidentweet @sidereal

Yes tho I think my current musing is on a more perhaps psychoanalytic, less material/ist wavelength, and I'm too tired to articulate it. Something like the leaders are angry at a virus and workers' frailties for breaking their sense of control

@inquiline

That's very interesting. Imani Barbarin also addresses the psychology of this.

Although I think that angry response of our leaders started around 1792 or so. In my own research I was surprised when I read the names of old noble families funding the attacks on gender in Europe, and then realised I shouldn't have been. There's still so much to unpack ... 😞

@Heidentweet

That's also very interesting. Anyway I was just noodling, I have no expertise in that kind of analysis but sometimes it's helpful to think of facets I wouldn't normally consider (but then I can't be articulate about them) (am still poorly rested, was up half the night worrying about all of this, which did not help anything)
