I distinctly remember some years ago the very same feral hog boomers very upset that young people didn’t care about things outside of their iphone and avocado toast. Now they care about the wrong things and some hot couch guy with a nightstick is coming to cave their head in.
On a darker note, wonder how many wives were ‘happy’ their spouse got the violence out on someone that wasn’t them
Roughly 40%
Reportedly 40%
Self-Reportedly 40%
“Now they care about the wrong things and some hot couch guy with a nightstick is coming to cave their head in.”
lol That’s usually how it is with how people treat us Autistics.
“You gotta apply yourself. NO, not like that!”
Truth be told: they wouldn’t like who we really are if they ever saw who we really are.
That kind of rhetoric has always been apologia for the system, not meant to be practical advice. “The problem isn’t the political economy, it’s that you’re not doing X” with X being a moving target depending on what’s convenient at the moment.
Moving target you say?
“You gotta apply yourself. NO, not like that!”
They then launch harassment campaigns against us for being “cringe.”
They fucking gossip about us too behind our backs even when we don’t retaliate.
You have the 'tism too?
As an ADHDer trans woman I totally relate.
Neurotypicality is a false consciousness imo, too many people place too much stock in relating to others not based on material circumstances but based on assuming every person is basically very literally the same, when you’re outside it, you see it’s just bioessentialism repackaged with the word omitted - a creepy cult called “culture”.
Oh God YES
Where did you read that line (if it isn’t yours)?
I agree with it completely.
I’m ADHD and Autistic and OCD.
Have sleep apnea and probably IBS (lol, though I shouldn’t be laughing).
You put it soooooooooo well just now.
(Also, I have gender dysphoria and don’t feel like a man.)
Thank you! The line is mine, but it’s heavily inspired by “Gender Nihilism” by Alyson Escalate and “The Xenofeminist Manifesto” as well as other feminist works that go against the ‘biological destiny’ narrative, i.e. The Dialectics of Sex by Shulamith Firestone which is ironically enough sometimes cited by TERFs so YMMV but I don’t read the work as justifying their beliefs at all, though I find it disagreeable in other ways.
It is perhaps also worthwhile reading the sort of discourse the above works arose almost in response to: the patriarchal falsification of the biological facts of cis women and suppression of education relating to that which would threaten the patriarchal premise, beautifully illustrated in Evelyn Reed’s “Is biology women’s destiny?” (Marxist Internet Archive), because the above works are written to suggest that while the above is true, it may be that the better line of thinking is to ultimately reject identity, because it’s not the word but the desire to classify people into identities like this that really is ultimately harmful.
Perhaps I should read these! Thanks!
Plus, I have brain fog.
Definitely get yourself a therapist, like the one here:
Yep. Undiagnosed until adulthood. Seeing how even many progressives and “leftists” treat us is some serious blackpill shit.
Yeah, even leftists and communists…
I need this.
Too many communists sideline their Autistic comrades.
We are on tism forum
informal declaration of Hexbear as a neurodiversity forum.I wish, but it sometimes feels like even Hexbear treats us roughly.
Well, communist spaces have this problem in general.
Speaking of Hexbear, I once saw someone defend ABA and said that she did this to her own child and that it was necessary. ABA! Fuck that shit.
I haven’t experienced it myself, but my confidence is so busted that tolerating my existence qualifies aa great inclusion. I do think bear website is ahead of other spaces, but what issues do you have with how it is now? Is there anything that could be done immediately to improve it?
I fear going into an irl space…Not on here surely? Practicing ABA on your own child should be classed as a crime, fuck.
Yes, it was on here. In /c/neurodiverse.
I still remember it… Got 3 upvotes last I checked, but that was months ago. Really shook me, admittedly. Maybe they just didn’t like me? Idk. I was controversial back then.
But thanks for hearing me out!
Fuck, ABA defenders, on my bear website, no way.
When you don’t get votes, when you can’t tell what people thought of your thing you said
It be like that sometimes…Ofc, no prob
But thank you. And thanks for the warmth.
I’m not trying to single out Hexbear here, despite my last comment.
Hell, it’s better in this regard than most communist spaces, at least at times (just trying to be impartial here).
Yw, of course
Yeah I think so too, but if my comrades have concerns I wanna hear em. Just because I’m happy going on autistic screeds all the time, doesn’t mean it’s great for everyone.
*Autistic
Let’s use the capital A!
Well, that’s what I got from a book I read recently.
We’re our own culture and neuro-type.
Oh is it considered bad form to lowercase it? TIL! Very nice.
This post is the most saddening thing I’ve read all day
And maybe the hunger pangs are an influence but, I don’t know
I’m eating pizza right now. I recommend pizza.
I would but everything went to rent
those incels done have wives.
and they look like hillel members from ucla and their rich zionist family members.
I strongly doubt much of the genocide enjoyers were students. Media likes to scream about outside agitators on the Palestinian side, but the Israel side looked to me to be the outside agitators.
Media pushing the ‘outside agitators’ horseshit they always push?
Why I never
Motherfuckering ghouls lack creativity.
They don’t need to tell their wives because they’ve gotten first hand experience
For your other point:
“Leftists discovered the material reality we inhabit, we were told ‘quit being assholes’”
