I would MUCH rather LITERALLY LOSE MY ENTIRE INDUSTRY AND WAY OF LIFE then to have ONE Trans Kid NOT feel suicidal!
-LITERALLY all Republican Voters!
This is hilarious and I upvoted. But it's also not accurate, and presenting it this way makes Trump look like a giga chad tricking bullies into punishing themselves, when he's more like just king of a mentally ill cult. I won't take my upvote back because I voted for Trump one time 9 years ago and I can't take that back
I regret your use of the word "gigachad", but "Tricking bigots into punishing themselves" is the precise description of the Republican party.
That's not a good thing. The theme of American history is "Rich whites convinced poor whites to destroy their own public goods out of fear that someone not like them might benefit too."
It's not mental illness. It's not economic anxiety. It's not ethics in gaming journalism. It's white supremacy.
I'd definitely say white supremacy is mental illness though
Oh, so you haven't learned much at all, you just felt too much shame to keep up the support.
Your narrative here is that moral impurity and disability are not only intertwined, but are also responsible for the worst elements of our world. That's fascism.
You're a chud, go lick boots somewhere else.
I'm morally impure but trying to survive. Many people have called me retarded, but there are also plenty of actual disabled people who are more morally pure than me.
I say the problem isn't the disabled or the morally impure, it's a huge cult with such a serious sickness they seem to want extinction.
If you're committed to unlearning the fascism, you should know that the narrative that it's just "mentally ill" people that voted for him is also not accurate and is infact ableist. White affluent Americans have been primed to endorse these values for centuries, it isn't new and it isn't disabled people's fault.
Being unable to stop trying to commit mass suicide via climate change seems like a serious disability
It's a social sickness but it's not a disability.
They can control it and they have chosen to behave like this. You do not get that in a disability
People we both recognize as disabled are also told the exact same thing by others, that they're choosing to behave that way
And much like your attempt at comparison, it ain't true.
Not much like, then
