Health supremacism is the idea that someone who is deemed ‘healthy’ is superior to someone who has some form of impairment to their health; any form of perceived illness or presumed health impairment makes you a categorically ‘inferior’ person.

Loathe fascism? Then don’t be a health supremacist
Those who are not faithful to principles
become open to evil, to have evil done to them
or to do evil themselves

It is now perfectly acceptable for public officials—Mike Huckabee, Elise Stefanik, Tom Cotton, numerous others—to advocate Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. Some of these retrograde cretins now take to rejecting “the West Bank” in favor of the Biblical “Judea and Samaria.”

All of this week’s shocks, excluding none, have been latent in American policy for decades—since May 1948, indeed. Let us not miss this. At this fraught moment, we cannot use Trump to hide ourselves from ourselves, as many Americans, especially their purported leaders, are very prone to doing.

Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?

And they fucking deserve it. Boomers failed to provide a damn thing...they took it all.
In a study of Gen Z's personal goals, "to be safe" ranked as the top priority, outweighing traditional teenage desires like popularity and fun. A developmental psychologist explains what this says about growing up in an era of constant crisis:
Gen Z seeks safety above all else as the generation grows up amid constant crisis and existential threat
Recent generations may have taken safety for granted, but today’s youth are growing up in an era of compounded crises – and being safe is their priority.
