Killing Disabled People in Everybody's Mind

The killing, murder, annihilation of 19 disabled people in Japan has not had the coverage that other massacre have of recent days.

Few posted on facebook who were not already disability activists. The news laboured on the murderer's mental illness. A way of 'diverting the gaze' from the societal reality that actually, most people see disabled people as aberrations. It is 'understandable' what he did. Most people would chose, if they could, to NOT have disabled children. Most would 'chose', if they could, euthanasia. Thus the eugenic mentality is established in the abortion laws of a great many countries already. In the 'right to die' discourse that allows disabled, sick or elderly person relieve themselves of their personal misery of impairment or illness! Even if the alleged 'misery' is that hardship brought by the poor services of support, the neglect of the state...sure that's deliberate...to make us walk the path of Euthanasia...

In Australia I hear a TV's response to the massacre is to roll out Peter Singer, the so called ethicist who peddles worldwide killing of disabled people. All neatly packaged as morally defensible. How can THAT be the starting point discussion of the massacre of 19 people who had their throats cut by a person who believed they had a) the moral right to do it and b) the justification of the 'good of society'.  Where did these beliefs come from?
actually these beliefs are endemic in society.  Its the HATE agenda. Nothing about 'mental illness' there...its a common ableist agenda. (Unless of course all non-disabled people are mentally ill for proposing our demise).

That's how the Australian TV company CAN roll out Peter Singer....because it fits the beliefs of eugenics that simmers below every non-disabled person's heart and mind. It all makes sense so Peter Singer is just the right person to explain it. yes?

Since the killing no-one has started a debate about the Lives of Disabled people mattering. Because folk....Disabled peoples lives DON'T matter!  Not to most non-disabled people anyway.

The ableist agenda has always been 'eradication'. With disabled children and adults viewed as expensive, difficult, burdens, a drain on the health services, a drain on the economy and living desperate lives of misery. This was NOT a Hitlerian belief, though Hitler brought it through to the awful end point of Hadamar and other 'killing disabled people factories'. Eugenics started in America and the UK long before Hitler caught the bug!

No one questions where the 'misery' of living with an impairment often emanates from...the lack of services, supports, investment , care of disabled people. Though huge swathes of disabled people argue their lives are NOT full of misery that most ableist's argue.  But life is hard if you are poor and disabled. Life is hard under the gaze of annihilation, euthanasia, eradication. Life is hard under discrimination, oppression, and abuse .

I've long viewed the poor services disabled people receive as eugenic. after all, what parent wants to spend years begging for help for their disabled child/ better by far NOT to have their disabled child born in the first place. The message is "if you have this disabled child it will be YOUR fault, your fault only, if you have a life of burden and hardship". Society says "We won't be helping you with this child,[or adult] you'll be on your own".  So how does society make this happen? they withdraw services so parents chose not to have disabled children.

The 'hardship' of disability is written into every parents pre-natal planning processes. The belief our lives are 'misery' from our impairments rather than the discrimination and abuse of ableist society towards us has to be the discourse if we are to be 'eradicated'.

The withdrawing of services carries on throughout life,  you must beg for your needs to be met. you are expensive. The Ableist politician feels fully justified in believing; "Why should the STATE make your life worth living when your life is NOT worth living?"  "you should not be here", "you are an aberration - a 'useless eater'".

Ask any Irish Politician, the country I live and suffer in as a disabled woman, "why do you not provide decent, appropriate powered wheelchairs/wheelchairs for disabled children or adults?"   "Why is it that 38% of  wheelchair users say their (state provided) wheelchairs are not suitable?" (that's 15,000 people).

The answer won't be "because we are NOT investing in your life. Because we don't see you with rights to movement, association, travel, employment, fun or comfort!"   (though that's the REAL reason).  No, the answer is fully devious and ableist.

The answer will be the excuse of 'austerity' or the downturn in the economy, or we are going through an economic depression'. All sounds reasonable until you look where all the money DOES go to, like foreign junkets for politicians, or refurbishing of the Dail (parliament) buildings, or raising the salaries of the TD's (our elected politicians) or other such trivial things...

You have to ask why Ireland is the LAST European country to ratify the UN Convention on rights for disabled people?

Or why 'Grace' a disabled woman was left with her foster carers who sexually abused her for years whilst non-disabled kids were removed years before her ?

The answer is, unsavoury as it is disgraceful.  Our lives do NOT matter.
The agenda is to make our lives as difficult as possible so we can be, eventually, eradicated. euthanized, not born.

They don't slit our throats in Ireland...

but nevertheless living with a disability in this ableist society is annihilating. The Irish politician is no better than the throat-slitter of Japan.

But that's true of most non-disabled people...who cannot see 'value' in any disabled person.
