Comment on Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much

  Ok, even though I know this will make no difference to ‘you people’ (sorry just cannot help myself xD).

  In this case I choose to use this specific word because it’s so obviously a dogwhistle for right wing extremists that in the context of this meme I think it’s funny, since my actual stance is neither authoritarian or rightwing.

  I don’t seriously mean to perpetuate negative stereotypes with regards to people with mental handicaps.

  Just as a curiosity, are you by any chance from the US? I see this cannot imagine anyone from Europe making such a big deal about a joke like this, let alone use the term ableist.

  I guess my brain has just rotted as a result of a few decades of being on the internet. Inside i’m still an edgy teen apparently. No actual offense meant :)

    I get it, i know how it is. I’m an Israeli anarchist, you can tell by a previous post and my user name.

    I’m making a bit of a fuss over it because i find this trend within myself, having grown up in a nationalist family and a religious school, i tend to say those words as instinct as well and am trying to unlearn this behavior.

    I grew up as an edgy teen as well so i guess i can relate, but now I’m intp young adulthood and trying to be better to not repel potential friends.

      That sounds like a worthy and potentially wholesome effort indeed. I would just like to say that I think sincerity is more important than seriousness. Best of luck to you my friend.

      Much respect for being an anarchist in Israel btw, especially in these interesting times.
