The British Press killed an autistic black man over plagiarism.

Like there aren't academics that are placed in these learning institutions as a cog in propaganda machines to justify colonialism, give credence to eugenics, deny western backed genocides. Like there aren't abusers and rapists and murderers in academia and you don't see any of them dragged and abused in the public eye.

Infact, one of the leaders of this witch hunt against Jason Ardy is Nathan Cofnas who wrote about how black people aren't smart enough to succeed on their own.

This is the zionist piece of shit and "race realist" that led the hate campaign against Jason Ardy. He believes in that whites and Jews are superior. This is the type of people that got scot free while black people are hunted down over the smallest things that their white counterparts would never be scrutinised for

This is why it’s important that we don’t dehumanize bad people who do bad things. Because they ARE human and that isn’t an excuse or a defense. These people are doing horrible things to their fellow humans for the sake of an incredibly harmful system. That alone is terrible and worthy of being shunned

The thing I dislike about alt histories where real life monarchs have been made both gay and unproblematic is that it seems to imply that gay monarchs have not existed in history but if they did they would be cool. Which isn’t true. They have existed and they were just as bad as straight people. And I think it is disrespectful to real queer history to pretend that queer people have never been absolute bastards

when you think about it a rollercoaster is probably safer than a car. i mean you crash any vehicle going over 60mph and youre likely to be gravely injured so id rather be in one thats stuck in a tested loop and not driven by my road-rage prone mother. this is why im about to make a bold new proposition for public transport,

redstonedust

and you may say "if you want transport that goes on a predetermined on rails route you want trains" and thats true i do want trains. but i want trains that do sick loops and make me vomit. its an improvement for nobody and it would be awesome.

people who feel the need to chime in on posts about not supporting hp because of jkr with AND THE BOOKS ARE AWFUL AND HORRIBLY BIGOTED TOO are so completely missing the point it's insane. the content of harry potter does not MATTER!!!! if it was the most perfectly unproblematic piece of media ever it would still be supporting jkr and her bigotry and that would be enough of a reason not to support it!!!! all you're doing is continuing to treat harry potter as something worthy of discussion instead of trying to kill its cultural relevance!!!! you are not an ally and i do not trust you!!!!

good omens is by and large a very good book with positive messages but i stopped posting about it after the neil gaiman stuff came to light bc the quality of the content doesn't fucking matter when we're talking about materially supporting people who wield their power & influence to harm others

And on the topic of a friend’s ugly boyfriend, I want to say that a lot of what I think makes these people hideous isn’t inborn characteristics they cannot change. Ugly has a more nebulous definition in the south. A friend’s ugly boyfriend shows up to meet his girlfriend’s friends for the first time with a terrible haircut and unwashed hair, wearing an unwashed Marvel shirt and cargo shorts not because he had no access to a shower or a laundromat but because he felt no need to put any effort into his appearance and try to make a good impression on her friends because he truly does not care. People who care about a new partner try to impress them, they try to groom and style themselves to be more attractive, they do the bare minimum and take a shower before going to a convention. Cishet men in straight relationships tend to be more likely to severely drop the ball on grooming and styling habits when it would be common decency to make an attempt to look good. It is sad when a woman spends hours getting ready and doing her hair and makeup for a date and picks an outfit she thinks is cute because she wants to look good and she wants him to like her and the guy is a total slob who wasn’t trying to be appealing and wasn’t willing to inconvenience himself enough to put on a clean shirt. Jesus fucking Christ, take a shower, put on a little cologne, style your hair and wear a nice shirt or something. Your dad was doing it in the 80s. There are YouTube tutorials if you don’t know what to do.

"Here’s a trick I learned during the Obama presidency for handling certain types of political labels. Take, as an example, the Tea Party claim that Obama is a Communist. Don’t take the word of the person making the claim (Tea Partiers). Don’t rely on the rebuttal of the target (Obama), because that will just be dismissed. Go to the group itself (Communists) and ask them. Ask an actual Communist if Obama is a comrade and see how they answer. Watch as they laugh at you, then explain in great detail how they wish there was a Communist in the White House, but here’s a long and exhaustive list of why that just isn’t so. Now apply this logic to the claim that Hillary is pretty much the same as a Republican. Ask an actual Republican if they think Hillary Clinton is one of them. Watch them laugh, and then explain in the same exhausting detail why that just isn’t so. Some of them might concede that she’s better than Trump, but that’s not the same thing. Finally, go ask a White Supremacist if Trump is one of them. As they excitedly explain how Trump is the guy they’ve been waiting for all these years, and how he’s really empowered their movement, use this to guide how you will be voting in November."

I’m disabled and it pisses me off so much when people use termination for medical reasons in the case of fetuses with non-fatal congenital conditions as a reason that abortion is evil and pregnant people shouldn’t be allowed to decide to end a pregnancy. I would not damn a dog to be dependent on the American medical system, much less a human being for the next 75+ years. Do not talk to me about eugenics until the mentally ill and physically disabled stop freezing to death on the street and dying of treatable illnesses because they can’t afford a caretaker OR their medication OR stable housing. If someone wants to terminate a pregnancy before that fetus becomes a living, kicking, screaming, breathing baby, you cannot compare that to the fucking vile things that happen to actual living disabled people in our society every fucking day. There are actual disabled people begging for help and you’re ignoring them to pretend like you give a fuck about unborn disabled “babies”.

lil-grimlynn

Also I'd like to add that a person who doesn't want or can't afford a disabled child definitely has a good reason. They are unfit to raise a disabled child, and our adoption and fostercare system is full of pedophiles and human traffickers. I would not trust a child to the hands of our system at all, let alone a disabled one.

byjove

Yes, that too. I would much rather have someone abort a pregnancy because the fetus showed signs of a genetic or congenital abnormality than get rid of the choice and force people to become a parent to a disabled child and resent them or feel extreme misplaced guilt for their child’s challenges and pain. There is already so much of that in the world. Again, I’d recommend not having kids if you don’t want a disabled child but deciding to terminate a pregnancy because the fetus would be born requiring numerous invasive surgeries, lifelong medical intervention and high support needs is not necessarily a sign that person loathes the disabled and could not love a disabled child.

gwenthebard

Also like. A lot of such disabilities are like "might survive until nine" or "going to be a rocky few years and if they get past thay they can have a long life"

As someone who saw a cousin over years go through regular surgery for birth defects, in and out of the hospital from the time we were kids to when they died of organ failure last year, basically gave up on having a happy life before we were done being teens and kinda just resigned himself to not following doctor orders because like....whats the point of maybe living into your thirties when youll spend most of it in the hospital knowing long term goals are impractical? Like family gave him shit for still drinking a ton after he was told his organs were failing, but I cant even blame him after the almost 3 decades he went through

And like, Ill be the first to admit Ill probably never be lucky enough to have the chance to have a kid. But I cant blame anyone for making a similar choice because like, I saw what my cousin went through. Id be hard pressed to decide to put a kid through years of surgery and painful recovery to *maybe* have a normal life. I cant just say I dont blame people because of healthcare costs, but also like, a lot of disabilities found in the fetus arent just "wont be able to walk" or "will have down syndrome" but stuff where their first years or entire life might be a line of surgeries and symptoms they never recover from, or only gives them a few years

byjove

Yes, I think this is important to note as well. A lot of parents are guilted and shamed for aborting pregnancies where the fetus had a severe genetic issue because “There is a child with that same condition that is 14 right now!” and “You should have put it in God’s hands.” and the truth is that if you give this anti-abortion ‘termination for medical reasons is eugenics’ some credit, they will always move the goal post for what condition constitutes a ‘justifiable’ abortion because there is no such thing as a ‘justifiable’ abortion to them. Because they do not care if the baby born of this pregnancy will make it out of the hospital alive, they do not care what that child’s life expectancy will be or if they’ll be in extreme pain their entire short life, they just do not want the pregnant person to have the right to decide things about their body and their pregnancy.

The decision to abort for medical reasons should be solely at the discretion of the pregnant person, with input on the child’s odds of survival and wellbeing from medical professionals, if asked. It should not be up to government officials writing a list of what conditions are ‘bad enough’ to be able to receive a termination, it should not be up to pro-life assholes on the Internet and it should not be up to everyone observing the situation secondhand. It should be a decision for the person who is carrying this pregnancy and deciding if they want to bring a baby into this world or not.

I will reiterate over and over again that chronically ill and disabled people have always existed. We have evidence Neanderthals took care of members of their community who became disabled after a serious injury or were born with disabilities like Down Syndrome. Yes, many more illnesses ‘just killed you’ before modern medicine but the lack of modern medicine meant there were even more people struggling with chronic ill health. Institutionalization and the stigma around discussing disabilities and illnesses is the reason you think there were fewer people with disabilities and chronic health concerns, not reality. Bad backs, bad lungs, bad stomachs, mobility issues, poor eyesight, poor hearing, countless other things that range from mild annoyances to serious life-limiting disabilities. We have always existed. Pretending like there was a time in history where a sizable portion of the human population wasn’t chronically ill or disabled is historical revisionism.

byjove

We should always be thinking “How do we make the world better for disabled people and how can we prevent acquired disabilities like post-viral chronic illness and lifelong injuries from things like motor vehicle accidents?” and not “How do we stop disabled people from surviving and existing in public?”

His uncle sure wasn’t!

That man was barely fucking hanging on, he was literally disintegrating. He was also rumored to have prostate cancer at the end of his life.

I’m disabled too, chronically ill like JFK. I have an autoimmune disease, JFK showed signs of one. He was a frail house of cards of a man who survived on a mix of uppers, downers and steroids. I also need similar medication to survive. It is so fucking disgusting to see RFK jr. rewrite history and attack modern medicine when his own family has a loooooong history of severe physical and mental illness.

byjove

It’s worth noting many of JFK’s health issues started after he developed scarlet fever, a common childhood illness that often left victims with damage to their kidneys, heart, joints and brain and sometimes triggered arthritis. There is no vaccine against it but RFK jr is trying to undermine the vaccination schedules for other common childhood illnesses that can cause permanent lifelong damage to a child’s health.

byjove

“I don’t understand. How does this refute what RFK jr. said?” Because many of JFK’s ailments may have been preventable/treatable with modern medicine. Because he needed amphetamines to function. Because the average life expectancy for men in 1960 was 66.6. People lived harder lives and died younger. Public health campaigns and infectious disease control and education helped immensely. People were not healthier during his uncle’s presidency because they did not have the tools and knowledge necessary to address many major public health concerns, we have them now and he is firing vaccine experts and literally swimming in shit creek. The average state of health in the 1960s was not better than it is today.

byjove

Many do not know about the state of JFK’s health because it was taboo. Because disability and ill health were things that were spoken of in hushed whispers. The Kennedys buried JFK’s health problems like they hid Rosemary after she was lobotomized. RFK jr wants to continue his rose-tinted view of a past constructed through blood and pain and ignorance. He is rewriting history in a way that is so obvious and so vile.

JFK went so hard against the ‘sickly kid becomes a disabled adult who doesn’t get laid’ stereotype that he was still cheating on his wife with a roster of women while his spine dissolved and he was on a dozen medications. If a man is a dog, he’ll continue being a dog even while he is the president of the United States and suffering from a number of serious and debilitating health conditions.
