The Door to Eugenics is Open Again—And This Time, It Wears a Suit and Smiles like Democrat Royalty

History has already whispered its warnings. Hell, history is screaming at us,
and most of us are too traumatized by the last few years to even look up.
When men like RFK Jr. start talking about “registries,”
when they dress surveillance up as science,
when they call autism a “preventable disease,”
you should feel the air change.
You should feel it tighten in your throat.
You’ve heard this story before.
Your bones remember what your textbooks tried to forget.
This is not medicine.
This is not safety.
This is not about “helping” autistic people.
This is eugenics.
Again.
Rewritten for the algorithm age.
They want your data.
They want your DNA.
They want your children cataloged like a case study
in a system that sees neurodivergence as damage
instead of difference.
They want to name the “cause”
as if the cause is not their own discomfort
with minds that move outside the lines.
This is not about autism.
This is about control.
About eliminating complexity
so the world is easier for the powerful to navigate.
Do not be seduced by the language of prevention.
Do not be comforted by the illusion of care.
Do not think this will stop at autism because it will not.
You cannot dehumanize someone for their own good.
You cannot “protect” people you refuse to listen to.
You cannot build a future on stolen data and call it progress.
RFK’s autism registry is not just a policy.
It is a machine built to sort the worthy from the inconvenient.
It is the echo of every forced sterilization,
every institutionalization,
every family told to grieve the living
because their child didn’t arrive in the right shape for capitalism.
He says they’ll “never hold jobs.”
He says they’ll “never go on dates.”
He says they’ll “never pay taxes”—
as if humanity should be measured by productivity,
as if love and labor are the price of personhood.
Reality Check:
Autistic people are not problems.
They are prophets.
They are pattern-breakers.
They are the radical, necessary presence in a world addicted to sameness.
Anyone who seeks to map their minds
with the intent to eliminate them—
anyone who reduces their existence to a burden on society—
is not a leader.
He is a tyrant dressed in a hellscape legacy.
Let’s call this what it is:
An attempt to make the world more comfortable
for the people who already control it.
It is a gateway to a future
where difference is disease
and data is weaponized against the very people it claims to help.
This isn’t science.
It’s empire.
It’s eugenics, polished and digitized for the modern age.
The old ghosts are circling—but so are we.
With our rage.
With our truth.
With our refusal to disappear.
This is not about autism.
This is about humanity.
Not in our names.
Not in our silence and certainly not in the same of science.
