While I said I don’t want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn’t find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

      Yeah, that’s what I was doing, drawing out the aspects of what “stupid” means so you can use them without bundling in the ableism

      Like, @context 's comment says to focus on material conditions. “Backwards” holds implicit that a person holds those ideas because of material conditions, usually underdevelopment. “Incoherent” focuses on the deficiencies of the statement, not the personality of the person saying them.

      I think you misunderstood my comment you silly Billy.
