The problem of cowering to and enabling SJW's

Post Reply New Topic

Why are right wing people such snowflakes about SJWs ?

They're used to controlling the standards of political correctness, so they're very sensitive to the idea of other people questioning or disregarding or altering those standards.

Must be why Wrong Planet is dying.

Unless the person has multiple personalities.

Have they been 'self-liquidating'?

funny you should say that , I'm fascinated with DID and was just wondering if someone with multiple personalities could have a separate personality disorder or disorder which each personality.

That's one for the experts to answer. An interesting question, though.

Ah yes, I wanted to add a bit about this back when it got posted, but I obviously got sidetracked.

I do all too often encounter it, autism as an insult, not directly at me, but in the videos I consume and their comment sections. But the bottom line is no one is perfect, and sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth. I'll take mostly right over mostly wrong any day.

Let's be real though, while it would be wrong to say all disabled people are a burden, loads are the opposite, disabled people as an entire group are a burden on society. Able bodied people pay out to shoulder our burden. If they killed us all, their prosperity would rise. A huge burden would be lifted off healthcare, social and education services. I am grateful that by their grace I have a good life. Since we also had this:


The able bodied no longer have slaves. Again, if they did, they and their societies would be better off. I bet if a First World country killed all their disabled people and went and took a load of slaves from somewhere, they'd be the most prosperous country on Earth by some distance. But we're better than that. We don't want slaves, we don't want to kill the disabled, we don't want to take people's freedom or their lives, we want to give all people freedom and a certain minimum standard of living.

And as for this tweet, tell me, how do you miss owning a slave if you've never owned a slave?

I miss being the Emperor of the Universe and being able to fly and travel through time and space.

EDIT: Come to think of it, a society wouldn't even have to kill the disabled to get rid of them. Simply cut off their support, those who weren't a burden would survive, those who were would die.

Pretty sure this one is meant to be a parody — but these days who can tell?

Gendered Language Like ‘Manhole’ Will Soon Be Banned From Berkeley’s City Codes

(CNN) — Soon, there will be no more manholes in the city of Berkeley, California. There will also be no chairmen, no manpower, no policemen or policewomen.

No, that doesn’t mean a whole city will be without committee leaders and law enforcement. It means that words that imply a gender preference will be removed from the city’s codes and replaced with gender-neutral terms, according to a recently adopted ordinance.

The city voted Tuesday night to replace gendered terms in its municipal codes, like “manhole” and “manpower,” with gender-neutral ones like “maintenance hole” and “human effort.”

I take your point that social norms are the way the way they are but I would have thought we would hold WP to a higher standard especially given most Aspies would be (lets face it) slurred with that label if not to their face then behind their backs. Not all NTs use this term (thank god) my parents found any form of unrefined speech distasteful and so we never used it (although I have heard my sister joke with her friends using the r-word in school).

Totally absurd. It's not even gendered. I don't understand why people have this failing with the English language, it's gender neutral, a woman would still be chairman. man woman human mankind

I do use ret*d, but I'm not sure if I've ever called someone a ret*d. I'll say something is ret*d. You can't use direct insults of any kind on WP members anyway.
