By Design: The Wendy Williams Case and the Anatomy of a Fascist System

Yesterday, Wendy Williams was on the Breakfast Club, and I was shocked to hear about her situation—being placed under guardianship for alleged cognitive impairment. What she described sounded alarmingly like deprivation of liberty and abuse. With the cognitive impairment seeming dubious at best, I’m reminded of a disturbing historical precedent: the 19th-century practice of “confinement” in mental asylums, where particularly women who spoke out against social and economic injustices were deemed “hysterics” and locked away. At first glance, Wendy’s situation might seem to be following a similar pattern, where her opinions and dissenting views might be dismissed as a symptom of cognitive impairment. What she described is a stark reminder of how easily people can be silenced and controlled.

Yet, in Wendy’s case, there don’t appear to be any significant scandals warranting such an overt infringement on her rights. This raises troubling implications. Could her guardianship be a convenient way to exploit her situation for economic gain, reflecting a broader pattern within a fragmented healthcare system? When we consider the rampant violence and corruption now prevalent across multiple industries globally, this suggestion doesn’t seem far-fetched. As I reflect on Wendys situation, the more I wonder if this is another symptom of a much larger issue, with increasingly pressing manifestations surfacing all around us for some time now—one where financial incentives drive state control mechanisms, prioritizing profit over personal well-being and individual liberty.

So, what are we dealing with?

In Wendy’s case, her situation could be representative of a system where the boundaries between care and control are increasingly blurred. Such a system could allow individuals to be manipulated into compliance, often under the guise of protection or care, while they become unwitting participants in a machine that prioritizes profits over personal well-being.

Historically, fascism has thrived on the cooperation between powerful state entities and industrial interests, prioritizing profit and control over individual liberty. This is not just a phenomenon of authoritarian regimes; it can also be seen in more subtle forms, where the state and industry work together to manipulate individuals and justify oppression. The word “fascism” is derived from the Italian word for “bond” and it appears that fascism is defined by a bond of state and industry—a bond that can be seen in various contexts, from healthcare to finance.

In a world where money can justify oppression and where state authority can manipulate individual lives for profit, it’s essential to ask ourselves: How deep does this bond of states and industries run, and what will it take to break free from it?
