鉴于英国脱欧和特朗普的创伤性事件，即使试图解读全球政治体系和文化秩序的现实，人们也会感到头晕目眩。一个值得剖析的比喻是，体能主义是新自由主义的明显伙伴。新自由主义能力主义的概念忽略了这两个过程中强调自我遏制、自主和独立的关键原则。这些想法是特朗普和英国脱欧竞选活动的关键，但现在却让我们陷入了孤立主义的危险境地。特朗普和英国脱欧迎来了一种新型新自由主义；一个与推出体能主义理想有关的问题。尽管韦斯特对晚期资本主义某些要素消亡的预测可能是正确的，但我们从历史中知道，能力和残疾——或残疾/能力——被用来重组政治秩序。我们将把新自由主义残疾主义的兴起视为英国脱欧和特朗普支持者的关键指导思想，并问：这对残疾人意味着什么？在考虑了这两起历史事件之后，我们会思考未来，并考虑我们可能采取的一些应对和抵制方式。
One feels light-headed even trying to decipher the actualities of the global political system and cultural order in light of the traumatic events of Brexit and Trump. One trope worth dissected is that of ableism as an obvious partner of neoliberalism. The concept of neoliberal-ableism captures the elision of key tenets of both processes that emphasise self-containment, autonomy and independence. Such ideas were key to the Trump and Brexit campaigns and now leave us in a dangerous space of isolationism. Trump and Brexit hail in a new kind of neoliberalism; one associated with the rolling out of ableist ideals. And while West might be correct in predicting the death of some elements of late capitalism, we know from history that ability and disability - or dis/ability - are used to restructure political orders. We will consider the rise of neoliberal-ableism as a key guiding ideology of both Brexit and Trump supporters and ask: what does this mean for disabled people? After considering these two historical events we will think of the future and consider some of the ways in which we may respond and resist.
