Really? It is not my impression that there is any such consensus at all. Which political and social analysts are you talking about, for example?

| For example I would personally like to see the creation of a micronation ruled specifically by autistics. If thats the kind of thing you had in mind, sign me up. Would be nice to have a little safe haven away from this crazy NT world. To serve the latter purpose, what's needed is for autistics and ... |

| The press won't let go of the non existent 'Russian collusion'. What is your basis for saying that the 'Russian collusion' is nonexistent? Back in early-to-mid 2016, even before any talk of a Russian connection hit the news at all, my boyfriend noticed that Breitbart News -- one of Trump's main ear... |

| I agree with you, but SJW is the best we've got. I actually made a thread with the goal of doing better, but we weren't able to succeed. https://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=313897 Btw, well done for reading through the entire thread. I hope it was educational for you, as that's the role ... |

| Yes. But also thinking about the really egregious stuff they do. Doctored or outright false statistics, labelling people all kinds of things to get them out of the way, vicious dogpiling when they have the numbers, attacking free speech itself, getting power and abusing it. These are all-too-common... |

| As somebody who identifies as a liberal I can admit that is something that really annoys me about some of the radical liberals. It is likely that many of the people you are referring to as "radical liberals" do not identify as "liberal" at all, but only as "leftist" or... |

If only more women's pants and skirts had deep side pockets, as was common back in the 1980's and 1990's, you could carry your ID and payment info in a pocket. |

| I wouldn't put too much stock in what dictionaries say because it is the lexicographer's job to document how people use words, it is not the lexicographer's job to tell people how to use words. I agree that the lexicographer's job should be considered descriptive rather than prescriptive. Neverthel... |

| Taking a disability label exonerates perpetrators. This seems to be what most of those self identifying as autistic seem to want. It is less painful than the truth. Are you trying to revive the long-discredited "Refrigerator Mom" hypothesis? Of course abusive treatments will make things w... |
