  • yeah unfortunately it’s extremely easy to come to a reductionist conclusion that because someone - even a disabled person that’s just kinda lib - said something that utterly dismisses the welfare of workers that then that means the literal words used are meaningless and bourgoise. food delivery - whether that be by shitty corporations charging an obscene surchrage, defunded programs like meals on wheels, or preferably you motherfuckers reading this right now constantly talking about how there’s no praxis for you to do getting on a fucking bike - is going to be part of a much larger structure of care for everyone, and relying on a strict medicalist definition of “disabled” through diagnosis will make shit much worse. make sure your neighbors are actually eating, even the ones you really don’t fucking like, because people don’t deserve to live or die based on whether you personally get along with them, and creating the dual power structures that enable everyone to continue existing as the US continues to crumble apart is going to be vital to any attempt at revolution.



















  • But it’s not something that can - or should - be dropped because some Chapo dickhead thinks it’s “cringe.” Chapo is always going to find an autistic cringe, we are defined by how we annoy and inconvenience allistics, that is what gets pathologized as arrested development.

    Media can and should be criticized, as I keep bringing up, but that isn’t what is happening here. The very act of hyperfixation is what is being moralized here, that doing so makes you fail to be a man, that doing so makes you a reactionary (which was exactly what I had called out, because leftists still use autistic caricatures to talk about chuds), that someone here literally cannot connect with someone who is into Family Guy of all things because the idea of being into something in a way that even resembles autism is seen as abberant and creepy.

    Now, I don’t listen to CTH, but my guess is that this treat and slop meme had a lot more to do with talking about the bad shit people actually do to protect creature comforts at the expense of others like ignoring the pandemic to crowd into theaters. If you’re losing that focus to just complain that people act and talk weird, like yeah the people who are always going to be treated as weird are gonna push back on that sort of reaction and call it out for what it is.
