Hello disabled comrades! Sorry the mega is late again. I hope we’re all weathering the COVID surge as best as we can.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    Did I literally pick the worst possible time to get diagnosed with autism as an adult and request accommodations based on that?

    Get them while you still can, I suppose…

    If my team ever finds out I’m autistic, will they assume that I’m a fascist piece of shit like Elon Musk

    incoherent ranting about Elon Musk and fascists

    This is what makes it so INFURIATING when the media defends his fascist actions as “oh, he’s autistic, he doesn’t know better”. I am autistic, it probably affects me more than it does him (though he can just throw money at any problem), I have a lot of difficulty with daily life and got no social skills at all, that doesn’t mean that I would go and do a nazi salute on the big stage. Most of us won’t. Didn’t the nazis kill autistic people? At least those that they didn’t see fit for “useful work”? Why the hell would I uphold the ideology of those who would lock me up in a mental institution and then starve me to death or perform horrible experiments on me?!

    I guess that’s what being amerikkka does to your thinking. Even if he wasn’t rich. They think they’re is untouchable. To the average USA person, the nazis are an abstract idea, something that happened far away while they were comfortably sitting on their continent. Their country didn’t get invaded and destroyed by the fascists. The fascists didn’t massacre their people. They didn’t need fight a war against them for years with incredible sacrifice to expel, and then somehow recover and rebuild the country after that despite the death of millions. They think pretending to be a nazi is “edgy” and hilarious because they are so detached from the reality of what fascism is (otherwise they would see that their own country is inflicting it onto the world right now).

    And of course, this guy Elon has his class interests. He isn’t ignorant, he understands perfectly well what he is doing. Fascism is good for his class interests.

    Of course, the same media ghouls who spent the last years screaming about how anyone who has even the slightest opposition to isntrael is anti-semitic, will do everything to defend this. Common class interests. Same empire. Death to them all.
