Alright folks I don't want this to be a struggle session so let's operate from "'stupid' and 'dumb' are ableist terms, now what?" I would like people to offer up alternative insults/negative remarks. (hexbear.net)

While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

Also I get everybody being like "just call them a shit head instead" but their willful ignorance and insistence on not making basic connections is a specific and pretty widespread trait.

Lots of people are shitheads, it's a very specific kind of shithead who thinks "it was cold last week so global warming doesn't exist" is a great point and pointing out that argument is fucking stupid is a lot more effective then calling the person who made it a shit gibbon twat waffle like some kind of mid 2010s memelord.
