There’s a clear campaign against the mentally ill with the global rise of fascism. Lots of it shows up in anti homeless rhetoric, but you can see it in the MAHA and anti vaccination movements.

There’s no reason to use the word “r-tarded” to describe someone. As someone who’s worked with the intellectually challenged, it’s an insult to them to compare them with people who are willfully ignorant.

      Many of “fuck faces” have degrees, so singling it out isn’t effective.

          Cool, let me collect the educational background of each fuckface I want to offend. Genius.

              How is “uneducated” offensive in any way? Do you not understand what “offensive” is?

              How is this different to “retard”? Not every uneducated person is evil or bad. They’re also a marginalized minority. Education isn’t free, nor is it accessible everywhere in the world with ease.

              See where this is going?

                  Or you can just shut up if you don’t have anything to add to the conversation? Because offering random nonsense as sollutions has never advanced a discussion.

                  K thx bye
