    Really, I wouldn’t have dreamed I would see someone getting dogpiled for this take, which would have been uncontroversial here 2 months ago. Federation has been a disaster for hexbear culture yea

        I’m a three year user here and I’m definitely not confused. The incidence of ableist language has gone up significantly since federation.

        The comments defending the ableist term have since been removed. I don’t know what the significance of the op being from lemmygrad is supposed to be.

            For the purpose of talking past you:
            There’s thoughtlessly using a minor ableist term, and then there’s doubling down and defending it’s use when asked not to.

            Having an ableist mindset is not only harmful to your comrades but also harmful to our movement itself.

            An ableist mindset:

            • Takes the blame off of the real problem, being a chud’s reactionary immature, uninformed mindset, and clouds your ability to react to it in the most useful way.
            • Is not solidarity.
            • Encourages calipers shit.

            You see chuds saying shit like:

            Play stupid games win stupid prizes

            When people get conned, which assuming they are in fact less abled, implies that that makes it okay to steal from them, as if they don’t have an equal need to eat and have shelter. That’s what this is playing in to.

            You can insult people without being reactionary. If you find that difficult it is your own skill issue not “tone policing”

              It’s your skill issue too as demonstrated in your post history. Rules for me but not for thee, and “reaction” is when you point this out instead of just knee-jerk banning 3 year users for the same crime as you also commit. Again “doubling down” is when people disagree with you instead of just crumpling to your one-sided attacks that are not evenly applied.

              I am evidently talking past you because you cannot address the core issue here. Every user on this website says stupid, and uses insults. You are ignoring the elephant in the room here if you really thought this was really an ableist slur you would need to escalate your crusade considerably and not just against me.

                  The more books you read, the more stupid you become.

                  Private property has made us so stupid and one-sided that an object is only ours when we have it – when it exists for us as capital, or when it is directly possessed, eaten, drunk, worn, inhabited, etc., – in short, when it is used by us.
