Mental illnesses are disabilities that span all genders, ethnicities, classes and cultures. I am sorry, but this situation is much closer to cult worship than illness and it is ignorant and harmful to attribute it to disability.

White supremacy is the force at work here. White supremacy USES ableism as one of its weapons. They want you to write it off as mental illness because that both 1) deflects from the intentional calculated efforts of the far right and 2) allows them to use mentally ill people as a scapegoat. To justify the continued mistreatment. of mentally ill people.
