If they just expressed their opinion I would have been more interested in sharing mine in kind but doing this hyper online policing of others is fucking annoying, especially when trying to defend ableist language, and a word that specifically and literally describes a physical impairment.

There was a thread a few months ago that used the word autist and as a person who is not diagnosed with autism I asked if that word was okay to use because I only heard it used insultingly by people who are not autistic. Many autistic people said they use it, many said they don't. It's fine to have differeng opinions about language but to have someone arguing that a word that literally and definitively describes a disability is not ableist is fucking absurd.

Irt to the Judaism thing, my point is that it is an idealist fallacy that someone being from the group in question allows them to misuse their identity to defend abuses towards that identity. Someone being disabled isn't immune from perpetuating ableism, someone being Jewish isn't immune from perpetuating anti semitism, etc

You can continue to double down, triple down, quadruple down, but unless you're going to go through all the texts in the OP and challenge it all you are really just showing your whole ass.

The usage of clown was because they challenged my level of disability to further normalize their use of ableism. I did not initiate the hostility, they insulted me off the bat by trying to challenge me in an attempt to defend ableist language, which the continue to do in the ensuing exchange. It is absolutely clown behavior.

This user is literally disabled..

This is no different than when Jewish users were using liberal zionist logic to police Muslims about wanting the israel cool emoji

I made a comment pointing out an ableist word I see used here a lot which is on the list in the OP, I didn't even look at the list when I said that because I already knew it was ableist. That user responded policing my pointing that out by assuming I am not disabled enough to point something out. Then they continued to double down on it.

you can make your own post about it with your own list of words you personally think are bad but this whole post is about how pervasive ableism is in language and how normalized it is. You can go on a crusade about your personal preferences about when ableism is okay for you personally but able bodied people are only going to use your opening of the door to find some way to justify whatever they want and there will be plenty of disabled people like you signing off on each and every word you think is bad and making it okay to themselves.

To me, lame being "uncool" is probably extension from something being "crippled" to "slow" and "slow people" being "uncool" so you are really doubling down on something that doesn't do you any favors

trying to govern

We're trying to govern these brown people out of here but they're infringing on our whites!

That isnt the point and is not how language works. Lame is on the list linked in the fucking OP. This isn't a thread about slurs actively used to denigrate people, it's about ableist language and how it has become normalized as not slurs but every day language, just as you are displaying here and further normalizing which is proven by the people removing their up votes from my original comment because of you.

The idea that as a disabled person you can't be contributing to this issues is exactly the same argument zionists use with anti semitism

I've never met a disabled person who claims "lame" is a reclaimed word and this one person claiming that is liberal idealism. One person speaking for themselves is not an authority on the subject and I've seen countless disabled people ask people not to use it

Yes it does and lame literally means disabled you clown.

Why don't you just call uncool things crippled? That's really disabled of you. Do you see how maimed you sound?

These are all synonyms for lame. Just because you decided you are okay with ablelist language doesn't mean it isn't ableist. You sound like the many disabled people who go on Kill Tony and use the r-slur to prove how cool you are.

It's also funny to see how many people removed their upvote from my original comment because of your post, essentially cosigning your ableism because you are disabled and spoke up in favor of an ableist word.

It took a certain set of material conditions which drove us to care for things outside of ourselves. It is a different set for everyone to some degree, but these people are purely self interested and that will not change with access or exposure to "political knowledge." It won't be until some tragedy or existential experience personally impacts them that they begin on a path that will allow them to grow politically. This is precisely why no revolution will happen in the imperial core

I've been seeing a lot of people here say things are "lame" lately

I try to avoid being inflammatory in my posts but I'm glad that user called out the SWERF line and pushed back against it. I even DMed her to say thanks since the post was locked by the time I saw it. No comment on how the mods chose to act just writing to back that user up for having a better line on sex work than most people here

Thanks for the clarification!
