S********T : what is it like?

[Casually Red]

How many are anti's, posing as far right.
To be quite honest some of the none racist stuff is good on there, and gives good advice: Martial Arts, Settining Up Businesses, Recipes, Nature, Sport etc.

do they have train timetables too ?

 

[frogwoman]

i'm kind of half joking of course but loads of people on here, probably the majority have aspergers or other "non neurotypical" conditions or if they don't have suffered mental health problems, drug/alcohol addiction, depression, ocd, have self harmed etc. none of which is "normal"

regardless its not like the fuckwit has recently stumbled into doing this

the thread is how many years old... he be able to cope with the varying opinions across multiple and opposing opinionated boards...

to declare "i'm Asperger's" to explain

is slightly disingenuous

I thought that came from someone else tbf.

well it's a nice hot day and we're on the internet talking all day about nazis, laurie penny and jamie oliver rather than going to parties, having picnics, bbq's and other social activities (not that going to parties means you can't be on the spectrum but i think i have a point somewhere)

Lol. Nicely illustrated.

Very true. I actually find that a strangely comforting thought for some reason.

 

[BigTom]

Aspergers might explain why mp thought the posting of what greebo said as his Sig was fine (I can't remember the full story), it has fuck all bearing on anything else imo

I think if you looked hard enough you could find some form of mental health issue with anyone.

 

[Idris2002]

The bold-hearted folk of Urban75 are keen to fight the good fight against Nazism. Thing is... they can't find any Nazis. Damn!

Never mind. They've found some poor harmless autistic creature who likes to make online 'friends' and has chatted to a motley bunch of third-rate racial ideologues, some of them maybe even bonkers enough to be Nazis, on some internet message board. He'll do.

You never let up, do you? There's always some new low.

I dread to think what the next one will be.

well the current statistic is 1 in 2 but i think that's way too low

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

I registered with Scumfront to check out some stuff for possible articles. Found it too nauseating and stupid to ever stay there very long and the articles remain unwroted.

that is far more of an insult to anyone with aspergers and the families of those with aspergers than what has been posted by any of those criticizing meltingpot.

 

[tar1984]

Everyone knows you're meant to throw your 'on the spectrum' qualities into far-leftism, lefties have far more interesting political & social theory.

This is bullshit, frankly.

Being an Aspie doesn't remove a person's obligation or ability to tell right from wrong and it's patronising to suggest that it does. It's also no help to an Aspie to be allowed free rein to do and say whatever the hell they please and then be allowed to use their Aspie status as a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card every time they're called to account for words or actions other people find unacceptable. By all means make reasonable allowances (those allowances vary according to how far they may be along the spectrum), but don't suggest that Aspies should have a free pass without ever being accountable for their words and deeds.

Bit of an aside, but I find that post very helpful to my own understanding - particularly given the source.

and the thing is, maggoty JHE couldn't two wet farts to the wind about aspies, he just thought he had a good stick to beat people with.

Yeah it seemed like that to me, which is even worse than patronising the 'aspies'. Aspies , JHE even found a shit way to label them.

Yeah, I don't think there is any such thing as normal. Well no one lives up to it anyway.

Is "aspies" not okay?

I'd have assumed not normally, except I thought I recalled posters with aspergers and/or posters with partners that have aspergers using that term. So I assumed it had been adopted iykwim.

My feeling is that if someone wants to self identify with the term then that's up to them but it's not up to me. Kind of like if someone calls me a junkie I'll tell them to fuck off but I have called myself it in the past. I could be wrong here, just seemed to be part of the whole patronising thing imv.

No, that's cool, and makes sense. I've seen it used so frequently without malice that I'd mentally marked it as acceptable (not sure if I've actually used it much), but I'll mentally add a big note of caution in that case.

[butchersapron]

Meltingpot is a racist dick - he doesn't know how or why.
JHE is a racist dick - he knows exactly how and why.

JHE tried to use what he sees a vulnerability of the first racist dick to attack the mass of people who know he's a racist dick and he didn't think twice about charactetising the racist dick meltingpot in a way that that was offensive insulting and revaling in order to do it. That's it isn't it?

 

[purenarcotic]

It was Bakunin who has Aspergers who used the term 'aspies'.

It tends to be a term that a significant number of people with aspergers use for themselves. for some it is their prefered 'label' for most (i think) it is acceptable, some don't like it and some loathe it and consider it infantile. shock-horror, aspies aren't all alike

that's cause he's not listening. that might be aspie stubbornness. or just being a dick. but I do think he would be capable of understanding if he chose to listen rather than defend the indefensible.

Is it right that you know him in real life? Has he ever struck you as being a racist knobhead? Or is he just incredibly naive?
