#but also stop it. stop it. stop it

okay this is gonna be Controversial or whatever and i don't really care but you have Got to stop acting like people using words in contexts you don't like. is the most important problem that we all need to focus a lot of energy on. This is vaguely in response to someone i saw going off at someone who's post they Entirely Agreed With but op said "delusional" in a not exactly positive context and THAT became the issue to focus on, rather than the actual subject at hand.

like please. can you stop. for a moment. take a deep breath. and remember that this is not the most important issue for disabled people in real life. nowhere near. nowhere near

we all have limited energy especially disabled people. and there's so many things you can do that will make disabled people's lives tangibly better, beyond just avoiding being upset by a string of letters. the words are not the problem. the words may be a symptom of underlying societal issues but please can we address the societal issues instead of yelling at people about words. you're just gonna make people defensive and then you've created a division and an enemy where there really needn't be one. when you could be spending your energy in so many other, more useful ways

here's a couple examples ok

disability benefits/welfare. lobby your government. get involved with activist groups. campaign for disabled people to get enough money to live on and then some. campaign to remove barriers to access to support disabled people are (/ should be) entitled to

social stigma around disability. this doesn't mean yell at people over words they use but it does mean this. tell people being disabled (/delusional/crazy etc) isn't a bad thing, campaign for mental illness and neurodivergence to be seen as disabling conditions, make people aware that the vast majority of us will become disabled permanently or temporarily at some point in our lives. destigmatise use of mobility aids and such. make support easily accessible and don't make disabled people have to ask and fight for support where it can be avoided. don't make disabled people prove their disability and don't make them have to get more sick in order to get help. etc.

there's so much more but this is like the most basic stuff n i might make a seperate post about this. point being. stop making it seem like words people use are the main issue When They're Really Not.

seriously. discourse about what words are okay to use in what context is a great way to stall progress and distract from the actual issues disabled people face, that threaten their lives and livelihoods. just look at what's happened with lgbtq activism - progress is reversed and erased while baby queers fight each other about slurs. its sickening

by arguing about language you're putting the cart before the horse. can we please make sure we don't have to fucking fight for our lives first. and THEN maybe we can tell people to stop using deluded in a negative way. but can we make sure disabled people can survive and thrive first. can that be the focus of our activism please. yelling about words is not real activism holy shit you guys.

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S (2023)

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???
