    Force women to be in more pain than necessary while pregnant. Defund autism research. Blame individuals for a largely genetic condition. Label us as defective and float plans about sending us to labor camps (sorry, wellness centers or whatever). It’s pretty much a win win win for them

    RFK said that he defunded all research into idea that autism is genetically inherited and said that he believes that autism is caused by environmental factors.

    The purpose of the ‘tylenol causes autism’ announcement was basically to defund all government research on Autism.

    Also it’s not just a RFK thing. Trump is a long time antivaxxer himself. This is weird because Trump celebrated his ‘Operation Warp Speed’ vaccine, even though his base made up conspiracy theories that Trump’s vaccine would kill you. Trump said some things during the announcement the MMR vaccine being bad because it was 3 vaccines in 1 and that babies are being injected with too much liquid.

    Something to consider about the right wing worldview is that they often believe in a thing called the ‘Just World’ fallacy. This way of thinking supposes that the world as it exists is perfectly fair: if good things happen to you then it is because you do the right stuff and if bad things happen to you it is because you did something to deserve it.

    Right wingers are predisposed into believing that someone who have autism did something to deserve it.

    Capitalism prevents Autistic people from functioning as well as they could, in our society. Should it come to an end, an era where entire concepts of such as: Neurodivergence, Disability, Disorder and so on, will change with it.

    Concepts like work, labor, hardships will be completely redefined. Conditions like Autism, ADHD, Being cis, trans, what your skin color is, what shape your nose is will be just viewed as someone being born with a different set of toolset.

    If these “issues” are the result of an unhealthy society, they will gradually fade out, giving everyone the best possible opportunity to experience the most amount of peace they can in life. On the flipside, should you try to accelerate the process and try to liquidate people you view lesser as yourself, if you try to move them by force, you will inevitably create more despair and suffering, an incestuous autopoietic form of re-production.

    All of us are forced to walk upon this world, if you don’t like what it made you into, what it has made others into, change the world or accept the way things are. There is no 3rd path, just infinite number of lies told to escape reality.

      Do insiders even get a bunch of money by shorting random bullshit? Like they’re really just making money on fucking Robinhood and whatever bank that mortals use? Seems like there’s more money to be made in gambling on health insurance CDOs or something. Insider options trading seems a bit pedestrian.
