Just saying that if you don't need a wheelchair, it's probably a bad idea to use one.

it is ableist though, because we get told we don't need to use one every single day. their metaphor wouldn't even exist if this mentality wasn't normalized.

this metaphor is ableist because nobody is pushing wheelchair use on abled people, unlike ChatGPT. and no, abled people won't become "dependent" on wheelchairs because they'll realize how miserable life is when you're barred from most public establishments.

most of the people perceived as "faking it" are just disabled people who can't afford a diagnosis or won't be diagnosed by medics due to racism, fatphobia, etc.

you realize that fascists are rejoicing whenever their alleged enemies make the unfounded claim that fascism is a result of intellectual disability?

degenerate is a term that only race scientists use unironically

thanks for sharing. what I'm getting from this is that they're deputizing state cops to act as meat shields for the feds in case the affected people look for someone to target in retaliation.

I'm not implying this goes against local state ideology, just that the federal government is standardizing the party line.

this is exactly why y'all get called blue MAGA. when your orgs lynch a Pacific Islander and barely miss their shot on a leftist Venezuelan, it's a "good-will effort" to "prevent outside agitators". literal KKK propaganda adapted for liberal sensibilities:

The southern white defensive refrain of “outside-agitators” in the early Cold War years, as used by segregationists, merged traditional themes together with the politics of anti- Communism, thus taking the South’s regional ideology of xenophobia and connecting it with more mainstream American nationalistic impulses. Just as Lewis (2004) sees Cold War anti-Communism as a revitalizing force in the older tradition of states’ rights argumentation, he similarly describes the re-emergence of the white southern notion of “outside agitators” as becoming almost completely synonymous with the perceived foreign influence of Communist subversion.

Most white Southerners were traditionally wary of “outsiders,” a term that they employed somewhat idiosyncratically to denote anyone unsympathetic to the regions racial practices. As outsiders, so it was argued, not only did agitators have no right to comment on the South’s racial situation, but they could also not hope to grasp its subtleties. Communists fitted the southern perception of “outsiders” perfectly and were depicted as intent on bringing racial tumult to the region to rival that wrought by Reconstruction. One of the most popular ways of attempting to retard such an upheaval, therefore, was to suggest that it was communist-inspired.

because most of them are directed by white people who bought into the colonial myth that it's impossible to form symbiotic relationships with nature?

maybe because a lot of those spending most of their time on a forum are autistic? who would've thought?

insert joke about being poly so you can finish that DND campaign

self-professed Nazi hater uses Nazi science to denounce the third Reich

source? I've come across that claim too but it was mainly from liberals not understanding how cops actually operate

such a disgusting rhetoric to peddle non-violence while promoting 50501, a white supremacist organization that hires veterans in "peacekeeping" roles to shoot antifascists and anyone who's not white.

playing peace police is inherently a violent act because taking a stand against all the oppressed people who respond back in the only language that the state understands reinforces white supremacist systems.

instead of supporting libs that cooperate with state repression and enable fascism, donate to Gamboa's legal fund, join anti-authoritarian grassroots orgs and support your local antifascists.

not if the protesters are declared foreign agents/a civil war is declared.

look at the Syrian, Sudanese and Egyptian revolutions
