I don’t think the fascism would exist if it wasn’t profitable to give it a platform.

That's stupid!

I am shocked to see this pseudofascist apologia so highly upvoted.

It's not the media's coverage of the fascism that's the problem.

You would rather deflect blame to the media than point the finger at the fascism. Shame on you.

this means that if Unity sends you a bill, you don't have to pay it, and if they take you to court, you prove that you're acting within the terms of the license you agreed to, which keeps your lawyer fees to a manageable level because you already have all the documents you need: the contract and your source code.

I mean right? IANAL.

Too many supposedly autistic traits are present in neurotypical people. In my study of autism I've seen a lot of autistic chauvinism and I'm finding myself viscerally opposed to smug celebration of the challenges autism poses for the people who suffer from it.

Put bluntly, autism doesn't prevent autistic people from falling into line and propagating "civilized" dysfunction. I enjoy the quotes this article puts around "civilized" from the standpoint of delegitimizing social approval as anything but a convenient and easily misused fiction, but not if it is used as a prop for autists to feel as if they are in any way superior.

Pride in neurodiversity is one thing, but autistic chauvinism is dangerous.

Traits which are adaptive in some contexts are maladaptive in others. Traits which when paired with other traits are sometimes more adaptive than they are by themselves.

Traits which cause interpersonal conflict are traits which cause interpersonal conflict.
