Cheeto, Hitler and Kennedy: The Reich/Rich Are Superior

At the Fūrher’s insistence Germany could only become strong if the state employed eugenics to prevent the weak and hereditarily ill from reproducing(https://bit.ly/4m3zH9h)

As Dr Daskalakis notes “So, fast forward to West Texas and measles, where he [Kennedy] says, you know, getting the infection is fine, really, because only the strong will survive.”

The message, stripped down, is the same one plutocrats have always used to justify their privilege: if you’re rich, powerful, and healthy, it’s because you’re “fit.” If you’re poor, struggling, sick, or broken, well, that’s just nature’s way of weeding out the weak

But it’s just a moral excuse for selfishness, and Kennedy and Cheeto have found a way to wrap it in the language of health freedom and liberty But it’s the oldest con in the book

And where (and with whom) will the “new eugenics” end? All of this, including the heinous rhetoric that Brian Kilmeade dared his bosses to pass over, is starting to feel like point of Trump, MAGA, MAHA, and Project 25. As I read Mitch Albom’s “The Little Liar” last night, I shivered while wondering whether the concentration camps are being secretly built here and now (of course, there was no secret about Alligator Alcatraz).

The “new eugenics” echoes some terrible attempts to embrace it in past regimes. Are we steps away from a”final solution”? And for goodness sake, why is there not an enormous outcry about such things as Brian Kilmeade suggesting on FOX that INVOLUNTARY LETHAL INJECTIONS BE USED ON HOMELESS PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS? Dowd was fired from MSNBC for a much less heinous statement….

And if Wormbrain is seen as the epitome of MAHA....god help America. Anyone taken a good look at him lately?

And two numbers say it all: Before vaccines, global life expectancy was below 40 years, and in the United States in 1900, it was about 47 years
