ableism, eugenics, white supremacy 

Ableism and eugenics *are* white supremacy. If you are a white disabled person who experiences ableism, you are caught in the crossfire from weapons fashioned to advance white supremacy. If you think disabled people can make more progress by focusing only on disability and not addressing racism, transphobia, homophobia, patriarchy, or any of the other types of oppression entwined with white supremacy, you are self-destructively buying into an utter load of shit.

@JustGrist@disabled.social I feel like we may need a different word for, like, the intersectional oppression, because personally I feel like calling it just "white supremacy" or "patriarchy" is just a tad reductive.
But that's me being pedantic, yes, you cannot meaningfully disentangle any systemic injustice from all others without sabotaging one's own understanding and goals. Nor should one try to do so, because that's just cringe.

@flesh @JustGrist 'Kyriarchy' may fit the bill here?
