Don’t underestimate fascists. Bigotry is pretty ignorant, but these people do what they do for a reason. Dog whistles allow them to find each other, but claim plausible deniability about their affiliation.
Like every single person you encounter who insists on writing “friends” as “frens” will tell you that they are just being cutesy, but everyone in-the-know understands that it means “Far Right EthnoNationalist”. Bring that up, they they throw their hands up and act like you’re crazy. If you’re one of them, you’ve found your people. If you’re not, they will gaslight you while insisting that you’re just looking for reasons to be offended.
People will use 14/88, “kek”, “OK” hand signs, and other little things that you can just write off as innocuous without much push back, but it’s all just a way of networking with each other. “Virtue Signalling” as they call it.
Calling someone who is stupid stupid isn’t ableism stupid people deserve to be insulted they make a choice of being stupid.
There’s a difference between stupid and unintelligent. Unintelligent is just a limit on one’s intelligence but a stupid person is a stupid person by choice
I mean I did preface by calling them idiots!

Or you could just skip the unnecessary ablesim, my point is perfectly clear and accurate as-is.
Where’s the ablesim?
