Imagine being so scared of pronouns that you tear up a little kid's English homework. Like, can you really be that dense? What's next, Adjectives?!
They'd probably burn the science books purely based on the fact it's science.
But when they learn about homosapiens theyll lose their shit about a gay agenda
Imagine believing a reddit story.
Modern conservatism is mental illness - it's not a case of being dense - it's a case of being genuinely disabled.
Ironic for a political ideology grounded in and returning to eugenics.
Modern conservativism should be treating by banning the mentally ill from running for office and by imprisoning them.
I don't think we should be imprisoning the mentally ill (that's more of a conservative thing) - I think we should be giving them access to treatment. From there, the bulk of the conservative brain damage should resolve itself.
Imprisoning those inciting violence against minorities based on lies and attempting to overthrow the government based on more lies seems like a responsible step in protecting Americans and American democracy though.
By "imprisoning the mentally ill" I was saying "imprison the conservatives".
It's hyperbole. They were mocking you for using "mentally disabled" as an insult. You're the one talking like a conservative right now, using disability as a pejorative.
It's not true when Conservatives say "Liberalism is a mental disorder", just as it's not true when Liberals say "Conservatism is a mental disorder". The only thing that's true in that context is that supporters of both major parties have no problem throwing people with mental disabilities under-the-bus over politics.
Republicans are stupid, they are ignorant, they are hateful; but none of those things constitutes a disability. If they did, I would have compassion like I would for any other disabled person.
They say the literal same thing about "libruls".
All I see are 2 statists fighting.
ancaps not realizing they're statists
This is a disgusting thing to type, especially considering how eugenics is used against the disabled
You're getting downvoted because you're more disgusted by people talking about the problem than you are by the problem.
Denying eugenics would be disgusting,
Covering for those that support eugenics would be disgusting,
Being disgusted by someone pointing out the disgusting hypocrisy of eugenics and modern conservatism is disgusting.
Pointing out how monstrous and hypocritical modern conservatives and eugenicists are is a moral good.
I think you're missing the point of the original comment. Describing modern conservatism as a disability at once absolves conservatives of their responsibility not to hold abhorrent views, by classing it as a characteristic they have no control over, and lumps people with disabilities into a group that, in a non-insignificant number of cases, wants them dead or sterilised.
That's why the commenter was upset with you; not because you've criticised eugenics, but because you've been massively insensitive, and when someone pointed out that insensitivity you became defensive and attacked them in return.
I'm disgusted by people who use disability as a pejorative.
Attack Republicans all you want, but drag marginalized people into your insults and you can go fuck yourself.
Republicanism isn't a mental disability. It's a moral failure.
You're right, and I don't want you to feel like no-one agrees with you.

Sane people stay away
That's the point.
