there’s a conversation here to have about curing mental illness or even how we conceive of mental illness. above commenter is skipping some steps and I hope you won’t hold it against them. basically, it’s should we be looking at altering the way someone is born before we alter the material conditions of our society that are causing them pain.
it’s probably better to examine and ask people with Downs instead of just assuming. they have more of a voice and things to say on the matter than we currently want to hear because we automatically see their existence as a heinous burden. while that isn’t exactly fascism, it is kind of a dick move.
not the guy you were replying to, I just thought I could translate their intention.

It’s associated with fascism because a lot of fascist individuals and regimes have and still do fetishize this as a way of eliminating undesirables.
