    One of many things that the right, left, and center can all agree on is (pro) eugenics.

    Idiocracy, and this song, are so explicitly eugenicist and yet people who consider themselves “enlightened liberals”, or even “leftists”, choose not to see them as such.

    They choose not to because to accept that obvious truth would mean that they have some things they need to work out too. That it’s not just MAGA supporters that are upholding white supremacy and ableism.

    In the past 5 years I’ve come to terms with a lot of abhorrent things I used to believe, and a lot of harm that I’ve unknowingly caused in the past.

    Learn better; Do better.

    If you haven’t done hard introspection that has made you uncomfortable, especially if you’re an abled white person, then you’re probably not as enlightened of a person as you see yourself being.
