@Lana Every moral panic is a quiet campaign for just a little more state authority, a little more overt repression, a little more leeway for the police to put "those people" back in the desired social order.
The right desperately wants to return to the type of minority, white, patriarchal rule they enjoyed by depriving voting & other civil rights during Jim Crow.
But they also have to say they "hate government overreach" because Federal civil rights acts banned these racist state laws.
So they covertly campaign for a state that will actively intervene in their narrow interests—but not the diverse majority's interests—by zigging and zagging through all these scare tactics.
society doesn’t see disabled people as people. We’re symbols—either of triumph over adversity or tragic cautionary tales.
It’s easier for non-disabled people to project their fears or fantasies onto us than to engage with complex realities of disabled lives.
