You get points for being an environmentalist but lose points for accusing any differing opinion of being the result of drug use. That cliche is often used on autistic people to attack them for thinking differently. You should try making your point without cliches.

I don’t think he meant that literally.

  Yeah, that’s usually how people use cliches. They hear something and think it sounds quippy in a rhetorical sense, even if it’s not what they mean. It’s a lazy way of participating in a conversation without actually putting forward any ideas of your own. It’s the death of sincerity.

    What I’m reading is you just fail to understand anything that isn’t literal.

  I’m autistic and I’ve literally been harassed by people who used that cliche. If I were virtue signalling I’d obviously say something people want to hear. Do you think that I thought that saying this would gain me praise?

    You think that admitting to having a autism or being honest about ableist experiences is something to look down on. You’re hateful towards autistic people.
