  • Idk, I’ve had three clients diagnosed with schizophrenia and, while one was fairly racist, the other 2 were rad as hell, and I don’t think the bigotry had anything to do with the racist one’s mental health- just culture.

    In fact, I think bigotry is a pretty normal human thing to experience. Psychotic symptoms (and poor mental health in general) can certainly lead to and exacerbate bigotry, but I don’t think pathologizing bigotry itself makes much sense. I mean yeah if someone is experiencing bigoted delusions/obsessions/compulsions/etc then we should call that what it is, but bigotry itself is typically better explained by culture and natural human behavior

    Edit: but I do like the idea of coopting it. I think it would be hilarious to respond to someone using it as a dog whistle with something like “haha I’m [autistic/ADHD/BP/etc] too.” I think that would really rustle their jimmies














  • Some instances don’t show downvotes (like blahaj.zone). Also, maybe they’re bashing Democrats bc Dems are fucking awful? Not as bad as republicans obviously, but that should go without saying around here. Leftists shitting on Biden and refusing to vote for him seems to have played an important role in him stepping down and, until he did, we were constantly shat on by liberals over it and accused of being Russian/trolls/etc. This is the same. Harris needs to adopt leftist positions if she wants leftist support

    Edit: I am aware, however, that OP likes to troll. Their style is classic (i.e., obvious yet still reels people in) and it’s hilarious
