I really can’t tell whether you’re trolling or genuinely misled. Either way, can we please stop using faux political correctness to try & suppress any legitimate idea that just so happens to rub any self-declared militant snowflake the wrong way? It’s a stark abuse of (and disservice to) the legitimate fight against discrimination.
Yes, Trump is obviously a narcissist. Yes, anybody who claims that that statement has anything to do with ableism either doesn’t know what either of those words mean or is intentionally trying to cause trouble.
It’s not faux. I’m a person living with NPD. I suffer the abuse every day of people who heard that my disability was what we call evil people. You can say that slurs don’t harm disabled people when you’re disabled like I am. When you have lived experience of the struggles of people with NPD. Otherwise, it’s just a neurotypical talking down to a disabled person about how wanting to exist free of harassment and abuse is “performative”.
So, besides all the assumptions you make and, let’s say debatable conclusions you draw from them: your point is that the solution to the problem of this particular case of (perceived) ableism is that we simply pretend that Trump is just your regular low-key average Joe? Or are you attempting to solve the problem by prohibiting a word that you personally don’t like to hear and calling it a day?
I’m still not sure I understand what you’re getting at.
Of course he isn’t an average joe. He’s a rapist, a felon, a fascist, a traitor, and a would-be-dictator. Why do you think someone has to be neurodivergent in order to be extradordinarily evil?
And please stop nisgendering Me. My pronouns are in My bio.
I would like to tell you that some people can’t see bios on Lemmy (example: I am on Connect and it does not show up). Not capitalizing pronouns is convention in English except when using “I” since it’s one letter or (apparently from a quick search) when referring to god / a higher power. People aren’t misgendering or being disrespectful, it’s just how English works
I’d rather read a seven page essay on how triangles aren’t real than endure this God awful “article”.
What is this drivel, and why are you trying to share it?
I’m sharing it because I don’t like slurs and I don’t like people urging doctors to use diagnoses as weapons.
