mthor Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I don't know, it makes sense to me. Some people should not do some jobs, like I should never be a cop or a security guard or anything where I'm armed with a gun or a tazer or probably even pepper spray. (My family won't even let me own a gun.) Also, I think it's supposed to be a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think it's supposed to be a bit. @mthor Yes but there is jobs for us to do nationally security related. The problem is the argument I see a lot we can't contribute to national defense We shouldn't be in the nation or  get benefits from our country/ government. I'm not saying I need to be going in the combat armed but you know put me on a cargo ship and as part of the crew or something or put me In a room for stack of images from a spy satellite and tell me a figure out what's going on Yeah that could be a job done for autistic person or a person like me. Yes it's a bit but it's but it's also a dog whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humor is not satire the humor is sarcasm. yes I encountered a lot of people seem a lot of them more stupider than well cognitively disabled person. My plan to combat this is nothing. on this website I have made no qualms of stating I am neurodivergent person the believing we should have our own country. Frankly I that's the only thing I have because I'm sick and tired of fighting people on the left and right there's ableism on the left also as much as on the right it's in different forms. Trying to tell me how to live my life because of my problems or more accurately how my brain functions. without realizing I have wants and dreams of my own Try to be successful is impossible and trust me that's my number one issue in my life Now it's only going to get worse from now on . They say love our nation it or leave it well I do love this nation( i mean more than the government by the way) but my nation doesn't love me back. So i just say fuck it start our own Edited February 18 by ghostrek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrek Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 @[classic swim] now people bitch at us for taking their money with you and somewhat capable of doing something but we're so incapable we can't advance and produce meaningful fruitful lives for ourselves unless we all are higher up on economic letter we're doomed to poverty and doomed to be second class citizens if not third class citizens. That mentioned many of us are shunned either officially or unofficially from our own religious communities. We from my perspective have no sense of community for ourselves. And  also from my perspective feel like swimming constantly in the sea of disapproval and unwantedness. Best way I can say this I want my fucking freedom. Now I'm not going to say you know as any other protected group has suffered prejudice yes eddie everyone from the Jewish people ,African Americans, asians, Hispanics , military veterans ,other religious groups, And you name it you know I mean like I said I forgot to mention Native Americans but there's so many groups that suffered prejudice Yes but this is something for That scares me No later than the 1970s they were still euthanizing people with certain cognitive disabilities based on eugenics beliefs You tell me this is not something to fight for your fucking nuts. @[classic swim] my friend I'm not trying to be offensive i'm trying to fight for freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of us neurodivergence are actually on the in political right. At least in my area. I'm kind of lost on the first paragraph but on the second, I doubt there is going to be a civil war. When the actual Civil War happened, you had the country divided into two drastically different economies, most of the federal agencies the people of states depend on now didn't exist, less mobility between different parts of the country and a lack of a solid uniting American identity at that point. Also, there were less than 15,000 men in the military in 1860, most of those stationed in the western frontier. With such a small military and many defectors, it's not surprising the South thought that they'd be done with things after a battle or two. I don't think they counted on the Union's ability to amass troops like they did nor did they expect Lincoln's administration to be so good at deterring foreign alliances and recognition for the south. We have a totally different situation today. We wouldn't have a civil war, we'd most likely have something akin to the Troubles in Ireland where terrorists attacked soft targets and conducted political assassinations at a local/regional level. Even that's a stretch since 99 percent of them are keyboard blowhards that would chicken out if they realized they could get a scratch ... kind of like Trump, who has a tendency to suck up whenever he realizes he's at a disadvantage. Also, neurodivergent people are susceptible to extremism since like religion, it offers them the chance to have a community by pretty much going along instead of having to navigate social situations which don't come naturally to them. One thing that is severely needed as part of special education programs is some sort of social therapy for neurodivergent kids. I know schools include them in pull-out classes now, but there needs to be a bit more than inclusion. They need to have an idea "why" you do things a certain way and, even if it's just objective, a way to read how other people feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right but I sincerely been told by people I know if Trump doesn't win there's going to be another Civil War or he goes to prison there's going to be another civil war yes I'm dealing with people who are more extreme than the average reasonable human being but that group is growing and is a threat I don't feel That needs to exist. And us getting special education thing the whole system of special education needs reformed. Also Nerotypical children needs to be educated about children with special needs as part of their 12-year or 13-year education if you want to count kindergarten as part of the school experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnrael Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 1 hour ago, ghostrek said: @Lynnrael what you think about this well, of course i think the guy in the video is an ableist piece of crap it also demonstrates the way right wing rhetoric has leaned into ableism. it's important to note is ableism is also a key component of their attacks on other marginalized groups, and that as conditions get worse for those groups they will likely also get worse for neurodivergent and disabled people. this is because these forms of oppression intersect. the power structures that embody oppression also create the social hierarchies that form the basis of conservative world views/self worth and the power of privileged groups. conservatives who engage in this behavior are often called reactionaries because they are reacting to the "threat" that liberation poses to entrenched power structures and social hierarchies. i don't think we're going to see a civil war, i think we're far more likely to see some kind of fascist coup that Democrats and liberals will effectively do nothing to stop. though such a coup isn't guaranteed, we'll have an idea of how likely that is to occur after the election. I'm not worried about violence if they lose, more so if they win. when they say they want a civil war, they are just saying they want to engage in reactionary violence, they're not going to try to take power by force. the real danger are the various pathways and loop holes they can and will use to continue gaining power. every part of the government and electoral system is designed to prevent the people from dismantling entrenched power structures, so the mechanics of this system will always favor reactionaries and provide them some semi legitimate pathway to gaining more power. this is the real danger because if they do it legally the Democratic party and liberals in general will be unwilling to challenge the legitimacy of that power with force and will waste years trying to find some legal way to regain power that won't ultimately damage the institutions they worship.  I'm not sure what we can actually do aside from working to build the networks we need to resist this kind of oppression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven find our allies in the neurotypical populationfrom religious communities toto science fiction fandoms and work with them and they work with us 8 and the final one Remind the people on the right there are people on the right that are neuro divergent and cognitively disabled who are also conservative Edited February 18 by ghostrek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
