A response that didnt mock my autism would have been a start. Showed your true colors with that one. I have absolutely no interest in engaging with any of your shitty truscum/terf talking points.

I will say, I’m a gender abolitionist and so is like literally every nonbinary person I know. They arent incompatible.

Ah, ok, you’re just a fucking asshole then. Let me remove the “adjacent” from my above statement.

Go back to 4chan at this point.

You’re one of those fucking chud-adjacent losers who think that “working class” means white 40something factory worker with a beard, a wife and 2.5 kids, and a litany of bigoted views huh?

Fact is the vast majority of queer people are working class. You can keep picking on Sam Harris to try to write off nonbinary people as being like a rich people Hollywood thing, but the reality doesn’t fit with that. You point out homelessness as one of those things we should “really care about”… meanwhile homeless queer youth are a huge problem you’re just conveniently ignoring. and if you think those kids dont have nonbinary people among them you’re out of touch. Being nonbinary isnt just something for people living comfortably.

The “welfare queen” myth was always a racist dogwhistle from the jump. This is well documented. The “you’re the real racist for noticing racism” bullshit isnt going to fly here.

Which is a completely fair and humane policy of course, but only if you see non-citizens as people.

Why would i not be mad at that just as I am at how corporate bailouts didnt help anyone except the top .01% of society?

Scale. The amount that the capitalists steal from you is orders of magnitude larger than whatever infinitesimal amount of tax dollars (well, more accurately, cents) you lose because an unhoused person used a loophole to buy drugs. Personally I can’t even imagine being angry at the two people you mentioned. Nor is there a realistic way to prevent those things that wouldn’t punish the 99% of people who just use EBT to buy food like its intended.

(I also really don’t care if people find a way to use EBT money to buy something else in general. Like I can’t think of a single reason to be bothered by that. And I life off EBT and only ever use it the “correct” way.)

Yeah, their propaganda outlets tell them that immigrants are eligible for everything and are indeed sucking up most of it.

Step 1 to believing welfare queen nonsense: Be racist and imagine said queen as being black

The idea that a person should have to skip their father’s funeral because they have a newborn is absolutely fucking bonkers. Public transport is for everyone that needs to be transported (or should be).

“Oh no. I live in Los Angeles and my kid’s beloved grandfather from Boston just died. But I have a newborn and they cry sometimes because they’re a newborn, and Stuka@lemmy.ml doesn’t want to hear babies being normal babies so I guess we’ll just have to miss the funeral.”

People complain about science denial a lot but then those same people will act like young children are capable of active malice when its scientific consensus among developmental psychologists that they are not. I’ve had this argument so many times.

Thank you for saying it. Its frustrating how common revulsion towards children is.

We can can care about more than one thing at a time lol. Do you also think black people should just “get over” the n word because global warming exists? Or gay people with the f slur? Do you think that women should stop complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace because global warming exists? Those are often “just words” after all. I care deeply about global warming and want to do things about it, probably more than you do, but that doesn’t mean I have to be ok with words meant to insult and attack me and people like me.

Idk if this rhetoric will work with you because you probably do think those things, at least about the slurs.

Language evolves. “Mental removedation” is not longer recognized as as medical term, its use in modern times is generally regarded as a slur by the disability community and is treated as such in pretty much all communities that actively try to include neurodiverse people are oppose ableism.

So to answer the question of “ince wshen”. The answer is “for at least a couple decades now”. I was actually hit by my friend with a severely disabled brother for using it back in like 2006.

I am active in the disability rights movement and pretty much all of us that are agree the word is a slur and there is no excuse to be using it. Its not a “word for mental capacity” anymore and hasn’t been in a long time. Plus, insinuating that mental disability is a BAD thing is ableist on its face.

Hey did you notice the “autism” in my name? Maybe I have more perspective to speak on what words are and aren’t slurs against my group than you do fuckass.

Oh wait, I saw your other comment, you’re doing a satire. Carry on.

Have you read “On Authority” by Engels?
