Diagram of various alt-right pipelines, screenshotted from Imani Barbarin’s (@crutchesandspice)work as posted on TikTok. The four funnels are Dominance, Status, Eugenics, and Race/Gender. Topics that lead to Dominance funnel are pranks, physicality, sports , and finance. Topics that lead to the Status funnel are consumption, fashion, entrepreneurship, and wealth. Topics that lead down the eugenics pipeline are health, fitness, cures, and holistics. Finally, the Race/gender pipeline is fed by beauty, entertainment, dating, and 20 v 1.

There is a lot I can say about this situation--which is just horrifying and unethical on many levels--but I would prefer to first to direct people to this tiktok by @imanibarbarin.bsky.social on the eugenics, sexism and racism underscoring this

Eugenics undergirds all of American society and it shouldn’t have taken all this for y’all to realize that ableism is applied not just to disabled people.

Ableism is what makes fascism work, not only do y’all not look in disabled people’s directions, but you will cheer

you can choose not be this person

you can choose to not look at immigrants & trans people & say “i think your civil rights poll badly so carville is right & we must negotiate with folks who think you should die because messaging about your ickiness seems effective”

(there’s no data it moved votes)

Your civil rights is an issue. Denying that isn't rational. The christofascist right has spent fifty years dumbing down the population so that science can't be used to defeat prejudice.
Herr Trumpsky's most successful line was the one - "She's for they and them, I'm for you."
