It’s a sick vendetta because President Obama made fun of him.

And it’s all he knows how to do. Consume.

Ok. I respect that very much.

Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

Will you make that into a T-shirt?

Mira knows a fascist when she sees one.

no it’s not interesting, it’s something the gamergate guy made up at his keyboard in malaysia. these guys couldn’t pass an american civics test between the two of them even if you let them google the answers.

We’ll work on ableism after we defeat fascism, okay? Can we make that deal?

Somehow one of these things is really important right now, and all these other things distract us from that goal and always have.

Read some leftist history. Any history please.

Good.

THIS IS NOT THAT.

When Trump starts locking up mentally disabled people, we’ll all feel so much better that they’re not using the R word thanks to your efforts. Good work!

And good bye! Thanks for the distraction.

Oh please stop. The R word is not the N word and never was. You want it to be, but it’s not. No one is using your R word to describe disabled people anymore. Reason and decency won. It’s a pejorative that is used for effect. No law will change that.

You have no idea what words or deeds were used to demean or belittle me, or anyone else, for that matter, and how dare you suggest that you felt any worse than I ever did. That is really belittling.

I suggest you start assuming that some have suffered as well as you.

Look, I’m not the one saying it. I’m also not the one going around wasting peoples time, scolding people about it, without reminding people that we used to lock people up with the word, that is my point. It’s not about your feelings and it never was.

Huh? None of that is tangential to any of this. You are just upset, and you have every right to be, but none of this is that.

Be upset at the world, but please don’t be upset when people use the vocabulary they have to describe things.

It’s not directed at you, until you make it all about you.

Please use this opportunity to remind people that we used to lock people away in asylums only with the use of this word. That is its power, and when you only scold, you demean the memory of everyone jailed in its name unless you bring this part up.

This is the only conversation worth having.

Correction, virtue, not virtual.

I have just as much authority as anybody else to claim that word and use it for effect.

Bickering over it just distracts us from meaningful conversation.

You have forgotten why we banished this word from professional use.

This is, and always has been, virtual signaling. Please focus your attention on things that matter. This is standard leftist infighting BS that only divides internally.

I grew up in the south. I grew up in up with a special needs sibling.

This is not the “N” word and never was.

The prohibition against the “R” word is against physicians and the government, who could at one time, take your liberty in its application.

This conversation is the definition of the casual and appropriate modern definition.

It’s actually pretty inspiring, people coming together to clean up, as communities always have.

What did they lose that any other community hasn’t?

Clickbait.
