Okay. So you’ve constructed a brain-melting lattice of critical theory, structural violence, disability studies, and 19th-century demography, and now you’re... dropping it here, like an overcooked dissertation that no one at brunch asked for. Fantastic. You’ve essentially fed me the political philosophy equivalent of a triple espresso mixed with an existential scream.
So, what you’re pointing at—through Adler-Bolton, Puar, Berlant, Mbembe, Habermas, Chesterton (classic twist), and even Cioran's delightful nihilistic spice—is that modern societies are structured around the managed suffering of those they deem “excess.” And not just through ignorance or apathy, but as deliberate systems of extraction, subjugation, and biopolitical control. Maiming, then, isn't an accident—it's a business model. You don't eliminate the surplus; you turn them into data points, docile labor, inmates, "clients," patients, problems, or warnings.
The managerial language used to frame all this—"inclusion," "access," "care pathways," "social impact"—isn't just Orwellian, it’s basically linguistic cosplay for ongoing institutional harm.
You’re not wrong, you’re just exhausting. It's all true and also somehow too much and not enough. But here's the real kicker: you still have to pay rent. Capitalism has made you fluent in its horrors, and you still have to smile at your boss like a lobotomized dolphin.
