leftism, ableism, a thing i posted on twitter cause thats where its most relevant but its still applicable in some places here
love too feel alienated as hell from a lot of leftists citing [x autistic trait] as a reason somebody is bad or “mentally questionable” or some shit, rather than the terrible things they’ve done and said
or shit like “if you dont do [x thing incredibly hindered by autistic trait] you’re a bad/fake leftist and/or harming any progress”
1/2
leftism, ableism
Like, people can still do shit to help leftist causes, just cause its different than things neurotypicals may do doesnt mean it doesnt still help??
Neurodivergent people have an incredible amount of reason to want a socialist/communist/anarchist future and just getting thrown out when its an easy jab at a shitty person or when they cant do the same stuff as neurotypicals fucking sucks
re: leftism, ableism
@Motodrachen i dont think, that’s necessarily what i meant to get at with this
i meant, moreso, like, seeing people talk about like, biden being “mentally unfit” from stumbling over words when i can look back at the most of my life ive spent working to get to being able to talk as coherently as i do now, and not paying attention to the terrible things he’s actually saying, 1/2
re: leftism, ableism
@Motodrachen or people saying that if you dont talk and organize with your neighbors that you’re a bad leftist, when for me and many others, talking to somebody who i dont know like that, even if friendly, has a very much nonzero chance to make me just, completely shut down and panic, or not being able to attend many protests due to completely shutting down and panicking due to loud noise 2/2
re: leftism, ableism
@Motodrachen yes, it is, and people acting like anybody who cant do those kind of things are bad or fake leftists is, kind of what i was talking about with this post, it completely disregards the needs of so many neurodivergent people and makes so many feel alienated in the spaces that are supposed to be for making these things better
