@mavica_again the problem is nowadays we have far better media about a pathetic menial laborer who makes sardonic comments to the audience about the drudgery and suffering of his life, with a disease spreading rodent occasionally appearing.

CV-11 is in fact the better dilbert

I'm unable to find it, but I dimly recall some afterword on one of the Dilbert collections (this was long before dude outed himself as fash) where he claimed to have defeated cancer with the power of positive thinking or something like that.

and I guess he wasn't thinking positively enough this time :blobfox3c:

"they're here illegally" imagine caring about that shit. Bureaucratic nonsense. Do you get this pissed when people's car tags are out of date? Who cares, get a life

"Scientists design intelligence tests to compare other species to humans, but they tend to overlook alternative modes of knowing. For instance: could I, a human, survive for years in an urban woodlot with as few resources as a skunk? Could I travel many miles of unmarked forest and swamp to find the small hole that leads to my exact wintering den from the previous year? Are those not types of intelligence? While many things about our bodies and behaviors make us distinct from other species, it is unscientific hubris to build a hierarchy out of these traits. This hubris is what has thrust the planet and all its inhabitants into crisis." Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian, #ForestEuphoria

Several times a day, if not several times an hour, I see people using "sane" as some sort of synonym for ethical and "insane" as some sort of synonym for unethical.

Think of what you're saying here - instead of grappling with the idea that abled people can do harmful and/or evil things, the moment some threshhold of evil is passed, you simply label them "insane".

This equates disability with evil, and equates being abled with virtue. It's a rhetorical frame to keep you comfortable. #Ableism

To the leftists who refuse to stop discriminating against the mentally disabled

<Excerpt 2/3>

Dictatorships and authoritarianism are not practiced by "crazy" people. They are frightening because they are exercised by sane people. Those judged "insane" by those in power are pushed to the margins of society, stripped of their dignity, and even killed.

"You shouldn't fat shame because you don't know what that person has been through."

No, you shouldn't fat shame because fat shaming is wrong, period. It doesn't matter if the person went through hard times or not.
