I don’t think I’ve ever seen Trash Discourse before, so I can’t say much about their politics, but I think this is in any case a video worthy of your time.

Something I’d like to add is that audism really goes hand in hand with nativism: the time when ASL was most persecuted in the USA was in fact the same time when Indigenous languages and immigrant languages were also being persecuted the most. Because Deaf people had a language and culture to call their own, they were seen as being on some level “apart” from the rest of society and in need of cultural and linguistic assimilation into the majority. So I think the nativist zeitgeist as well as the eugenicist zeitgeist needs to be kept in mind when analyzing Deaf oppression throughout history, in particular when analyzing things like Alexander Graham Bell’s Upon the Formation of a Deaf Variety of the Human Race.
