    This is why I can’t do online left wing spaces any more. They talk the talk about ableism, but then its “why can’t you boycott the only food you can eat, just eat something else”, “you could talk to service workers if you wanted to, you just think you’re better than them”.

    Then sharing a video of people with their fingers in their ears at a black music festival with a caption calling them racists, when they’re clearly autistic people enjoying the festival but having sensory problems.

    I blame the popular understanding/misunderstanding of neurodiversity. People think autism is just a personality type.

      Idk what kind of left wing spaces yall find. Maybe if everyone didn’t think hexbear was the boogeyman they’d realize how accepting they are

        Yep, super accepting, especially of Russian imperialism: “Instead of seeking peace our fascist government in Ukraine funds death squads in Russia to do terrorist attacks making the war worse”.

        And Chinese killings: “The Tiananmen Square ‘Massacre’: The West’s Most Persuasive, Most Pervasive Lie.”

        “As for the Uyghur thing, even western media has largely abandoned that point since it was too easy to see that no one was being killed”.

        Those are just a few heavily upvoted comments that I found within 5 minutes of opening their page.

            I looked through your comments to understand why you reacted like that, and I realized you’re either wildly politically illiterate or you can’t do math. When your supporting argument for Wyoming being underrepresented is “they have 1 congress person” instead of an argument about the number per population it’s kinda hard to tell which it is. The talk about the state being “big” makes me suspect it’s the former, however.
