The Economy First Model. Manufacturing consent to normalized harm. Chloe Humbert. The real damaging and disturbing propaganda is characterizing avoiding illness as “fear of covid” when nobody would say that about cancer, second hand smoke, or about allowing a toddler to run loose near the edge of a cliff. If someone was pointing a gun you wouldn’t say you’re “dealing with fear of guns” after all. Ironically, if the disabled person has a mental health issue, that is also expected to take a back seat to the able-bodied person’s discomfort. Minimizing the real threat as mere “fear of covid” that “truncates” going to concerts and restaurants, while simultaneously raising up the value of “mourning” of travel and big parties. It has internal logic when you realize it’s all just oriented toward prioritizing economic engagement. This cognitive tactic has a name, and it’s called woke-washing, and it’s a favourite of climate contrarians and covid deniers.
