I object to sentencing people to up to 10 years based on people’s ethnicity, political views, or willingness to speak out against your tyranny.

And to the language of announcing that *because you’re announcing that.*

Fuck you, tyrant.

“We are looking at long-term jail sentences for these [V]andals, [an ethnicity] hoodlums, anarchists [political beliefs] and agitators [willingness to speak out]. Some people don’t like that language, but that’s what they are: bad people. They don’t love our country, and they’re not taking down our monuments,” he said. “I will have an executive order very shortly, and all it’s really going to do is reinforce what’s already there but in a more uniform way.”

I’m not supposed to take the discrimination personally.

or the beatings.

or the strobes.

I’m not supposed to take the slurs personally either.

It’s really egotistical of me to say anything about safety signals endangering me. I must want other people to die so I don’t get mildly inconvenienced. It’s completely impossible that these safety signals which often make me stumble into the street, or hammer me into the ground, could be anything more than mildly inconveniencing. I couldn’t just want other people to not kill me or other neurodivergent people.

It’s really offensive of me to call these things beatings or endangerment when people aren’t deliberately going out of their way to hurt me, just deliberately doing something which happens to hurt and endanger me and some other neurodivergent people.

It’s really offensive of me to point out that people’s favorite insults were classifications in forced sterilization campaigns.

Fuck this.

“I'm not an "ableist", I resent being called one, and I'm not going to sterilize my language of useful words. You, however, have gone from tone-trolling to name calling. You might want to think about what that says about you.”

I was literally responding to your use of eugenicist slurs to call other people names. Yet you accuse me of "name calling." And you are offended that I object to these slurs. Yet you accuse me of "tone trolling.”

We live in an ableist society. 50% of the people killed by police are disabled. 40% of the homeless are disabled. Public transportation may be inaccessible depending on disabilities. Streets, sidewalks, and crosswalks may be inaccessible. Government services will be inaccessible depending on disabilities.

It's impossible to escape these attitudes. I've learned a lot of ableism, and I'm trying to unlearn it.
