The people we’re rooting for on Netflix—the ones who’ve made us cry, smile, and reflect—would’ve been targeted under Hitler’s rule. Not theoretically. Historically.
The latest season of Love on the Spectrum dropped on April 2nd—World Autism Awareness Day—and it’s been melting hearts across the country. These young people, full of love, vulnerability, awkward charm, and raw honesty, reminded us of something we forget too often: love is universal, and so is the right to pursue it.
What happens when a society starts deciding who is worthy of love, dignity, and life itself?
The individuals we’re cheering for on Netflix—the ones who’ve moved us to tears—would have been targeted and eliminated under Nazi rule. And not just by accident. Deliberately. The eugenics movement, which formed the ideological backbone of Hitler’s regime, aimed to “cleanse” humanity by eliminating those deemed “imperfect”—including people with autism, mental illness, and physical disabilities.
Forced sterilizations. Institutionalization. Dehumanization. Mass murder. All in the name of “purity.”
And if you think we’ve outgrown that level of cruelty, look a little closer.
Project 2025, the far-right blueprint for a second Trump term, is stacked with contributors who have supported eugenics-adjacent policies, including forced sterilization. This isn’t fringe ideology hiding in the shadows. It’s right there, on the main stage.
And while there’s no official declaration of war against people with disabilities, we’re already seeing the groundwork:
- Mental health protections stripped away
- Disability care is being underfunded and undermined
- Attacks on diversity and inclusion efforts in government and education
- “Family values” weaponized to justify cruelty
This is how it begins—not with shock, but with silence. With budget cuts. With quiet erasure. With speeches that sound noble, but carry a subtext: some lives matter more than others.
And if you think that kind of twisted thinking is gone, think again.
RFK Jr. recently claimed that people with autism will “never pay taxes,” “never have jobs,” “never write a poem,” and “never go out on a date.” I’m guessing he never saw the show. Now he’s pushing for a national autism registry—seriously, WTF—to track where autistic people are, who they are, and what their medical history looks like.
Excuse me… why do autistic people need to be documented? Why catalog their lives like case files? Why label them? Why put their names in a system? You don’t have to say “purity” out loud for us to see what just might be your endgame. And when you mix that kind of policy with the echoes of eugenics we’re already hearing in Project 2025? It’s not just a coincidence—it’s dangerous.
Because this ain’t fringe anymore. It’s front and center. It’s presidential platforms. It’s public policy. It’s in the speeches, the white papers, the so-called “plans” for America’s future. And it makes you wonder—when leaders start categorizing human beings by perceived worth, how far away are we from repeating one of the darkest playbooks ever written?
When RFK Jr. says people with autism will “never pay taxes,” that’s not just ignorance—it’s coded language. Hitler said the same thing in his own time, calling disabled people a burden on the system to justify wiping them out. Different words. Same playbook.
Same playbook?—Maybe. But is that a chance you really want to take?
I’m not trying to use fear bait. I just want you to see the pattern.
This is how it begins—not with boots in the streets, but with budget cuts.
With soft language about “burdens.”
With silence.
With shrugs.
With policies that erase names without ever naming them…
They don’t have to say your name—this ain’t Destiny’s Child.
They just quietly write a policy that cuts your healthcare, strips your funding, removes your legal protections, or isolates you in systems meant to keep you out of sight and out of power.
No need to say the quiet part out loud.
The erasure happens in spreadsheets.
In budget drafts.
In executive orders.
In “reforms.”
In who gets included, and who gets forgotten.
It’s like saying: We’re not targeting you… But somehow, you’re the one who keeps losing everything.
It’s bureaucratic brutality.
So as you watch all of the viral clips from Love on the Spectrum and fall for these beautiful, brave, brilliant souls…
Ask yourself: What kind of world are we building for them?
Because history has receipts.
And it’s watching to see if we’ve learned a mother effin thing.
Well, did we?
