They truly do, and I don't get how expending all the effort of the movement to accommodate them helps anyone get forward in the world. It's incredible. How does someone, whose reaction to misspelling their own email address and missing an email because of it is to literally scream and cry and hyperventilate, contribute to a movement when their reaction is so toxic?

They are sometimes the same people who demanded that FYAD poster get banned for ableism because she suggested that people go out and volunteer for feminist causes in a feminism megathread :ssh:


I seriously don't get how these people can exist without constantly weeping in the fetal position. I saw one of these people once say they were offended by James Adomian's Gorka impression because it made him seem of greater significance than he actually was.

It's amazing because it turns out if you actually get involved with organising or politics there probably already is a ton of poo poo you can do even if you are disabled and cannot leave the house/go canvassing whatever. Like in my local Labour party we have a bunch of disabled people who do stuff like data entry, social media presence, writing, packaging leaflets etc.

We even got a cool talk from a local disabled activist recently, who was telling us about direct action campaigns by disabled people in the UK in the 1990's, where they would throw paint or dirty protest places that refused to improved accessibility until the law got changed to make it mandatory.

I WAS going to give them a chance over here to convince me about the circumstances with which we can better society but instead I'm just gonna call 'em fags and roll my eyes because one of them just flipped out over a microaggression and is having a hyperventilating fit on the ground like he didn't get his McDonalds szechuan sauce.'

Optics matter. Getting what we want necessitates some consessions to make the movement palatable to normies. The loving crazies kill movements. They're doing it right now.

This is why social media is horrible. Every post is interpreted as performative, nothing can be kept private and the only context that matters is the reader's context, which is completely outside of the control of the author. It completely obscures the intentions of strangers and ensures stupid petty drama like this continue.

The process part of this, one WG previews a new guide and another WG says "we'd like to be involved" and then a mistake about contact info gets straightened out, that's nbd (other than DSA should probably have an accurate list of WG contact info).
I keep hearing about how forums are dying in favour of social media and Internet 2.0, but Twitter and Tumblr are awful formats for having a conversation. I need someone to explain why that's where the conversation happens because I've been a cranky old man since I was 12.
