Erasing you as a person, turning you into a group

 Individual rights?  They are disappearing.  Anything to do with the concept of the individual is becoming politically obsolete. The only personal thing left is one’s “personal truth” or “lived experience “ which allows one to discount facts as they please - as long as the “truth” aligns with socialist groupthink.  YOU are erased.  

Whoever you are, you exist only as part of whatever group government assigns you.  Your intellect, talent, values and intrinsic worth are not important.  You exist to serve government, not the other way around.  If you believe government employees were public “servants”, wake up and look around you.  You are living in the past, before teachers’ unions, public administrators, city managers, planning departments, academia, propagandists, big tech and social justice and equity movements took over the job of telling us what to think and what we could say.  

Don’t feel safe just because Oregon has not fallen down this particular rathole  - yet - it has succumbed to racism in other areas (education) that will yield serious consequences later.  

Do you feel sick?  

Check your skin color to see if you deserve to be treated.  

New York’s Race-Based Preferential Covid Treatments

New guidelines say whites may not be eligible for antibodies and antivirals, while nonwhites are.

New York state recently published guidelines for dispensing potentially life-saving monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals like Paxlovid to people suffering from mild to moderate symptoms of Covid-19. These treatments are in short supply, and they must be allocated to those most in need.

According to these guidelines, sick people who have tested positive for Covid should be eligible to receive these drugs if they have “a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness.” These include standard criteria like age and comorbidities like cancer, diabetes and heart disease—but, startlingly, they also include simply being of “non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity,” which “should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.”

Consider the following cases: A middle-aged investment banker born in Colombia shows up at a physician’s office in Manhattan; a laid-off middle-aged worker of Italian ancestry shows up at a doctor’s office in Rochester, N.Y. Neither has medical risk factors, but both have mild to moderate symptoms of Covid-19. The wealthy Colombian-American could be given Paxlovid; the laid-off auto worker would be turned away. You can construct thousands of these comparative cases using well-off Hispanics, Asians or blacks and working-class whites.

This is unfair and possibly illegal. With these kinds of regulations, the Democrats who control New York reinforce the racial and ethnic divisions that grew during Donald Trump’s presidency. These state officials have been abetted by social scientists who collect survey data in a manner that, intentionally or not, confirms their presuppositions.

Liberal political scientists and many Democratic officials seem determined to ignore class divisions and instead divide the country up by race and ethnicity. This practice, which is unpopular outside elite media, universities and nonprofits, contributed to the rise of Mr. Trump. If it continues, Democrats could pay a lasting political price, which could threaten the welfare of groups Democrats want to help.
