   • However, publics and nations have not had to engage with disability in any way other than through the anemic forms of recognition cultivated by ablenationalist rhetorical practices, particularly when disabled persons continue to be legally isolated in many countries. 2015, David T.

   • Disability Studies promoted the value of disabled people's lives that had been formerly embedded in pathologising projections from ablenationalist practices arising out of the carceral nineteenth- and early twentieth-centuries. 2022, Angeliki Sifaki, C.L. Quinan, Katarina Lončarević, Homonationalism, Femonationalism and Ablenationalism:
   • The quite literal invention of the "moron" by Henry H. Goddard, discussed below, is a case in point, and it is particularly noteworthy because it was driven by overt ablenationalist, eugenicist concerns about the perceived threat presented to the health of nations by “undesirables” passing as “normal” within the general population. 2023, David T. Mitchell, Sharon L. Snyder, A Cultural History of Disability in the Modern Age, page 117:
