Ah yes, body shaming. A tenet of the left.
what she actually said was that he looks like he's insecure about being short, not that he is short
so it's not quite body shaming, it's shaming his alleged feelings about his body
also, there are no rules for how to treat people who are absolutely pieces of shit. they don't get the same courtesy as regular people
look man they don't listen to reason, maybe small pp jokes will do something
It's literally ableism. Leftists don't talk like this, only liberals.
Again, she made fun of his own self hatred at his body, not his body itself.
You can split hairs, but its ableism regardless of the packaging. To deny that she's making fun of his body is to deny reality.
She just isn't though. She is clearly making fun of his anger and self hate at the reality that he is not a perfect picture of his OWN values regarding eugenics and taking it out on people who are not to blame via genociding them. And that's exactly what he is.
If she was talking about Robert Reich, he has a very different mindset about life than hurting others, so it just wouldn't be valid when applied to him, because of who he is as a person. He has made the world a better place because his disability (per his own words) allowed him to see the importance of social programs and economic equity. So no one would claim Robert Reich is angry at being a little person and taking it out on others by deporting families/genociding them - because he isn't. Therefore, the criticism isn't about his SIZE, it is about his self hatred, eugenicism, and genocidal reaction.... OBVIOUSLY
As I said, denying reality.
Yes, you are.
Liberals will do anything to justify their bigotries, even and especially reimagine reality.
Here on planet earth, AOC's comment was ableism.
I went through 1 page of your profile and found several ableist comments you've made.
She was criticizing his attitude, not his height. She wasn't being ableist, and you clearly don't care about ableism anyway because you constantly call people delusional and ableist statements when you don't want to argue in good faith. Are you racist or something? Is that why you dislike her?
Ah yes, I'm a racist because I check notes rightfully call out a dumbass politician for a nakedly ableist remark.
Also, don't follow people around and harass them. You found no such ableism. In fact, I bet you were shocked by my post history. It must not been easy to realize how difficult this was going to be to wriggle free from.
Again, on planet earth, and despite your pathetic attempt at deflecting, AOC's comments were ableist. Keep trying to defend it, it's a great look on you.
I didn't say you were racist, I asked.
It is allowed to look at someone's profile and comment, that's why that feature exists. I also only commented on 2 of your recent comments to point out your REGULAR USE of ableism. Your post history did not shock me at all lol, you come across as a troll.
No, she wasn't ableist. Yes, you are ableist.
What you're doing is absolutely harassment under your own instance's rules. I encourage you to keep replying to unrelated comments via my post history and see what your own admins end up doing to you.
And you're still a dumbass.
It isn't harassment and I'm responding to your comments to me. Saying "this is ableism" twice to your clear ableism isn't harassment.
Oh and 'dumbass' is ableism btw, you're doing it again yet keep claiming it's a problem when others do it
I noticed you get banned from communities a lot. Interesting, that.
Keep harassing me in unrelated posts and see what .world admins do to you.
It's not ableism, it's body shaming. Slightly different concepts but neither should be done.
Body shaming is ableism.
How so?
Are you 4' 10" balding rectum, like Miller?
Average .world user here, folks.
I think we should consider this the way we would any other form of hurting people. So long as you don't have to, it's wrong to do so. I agree that we shouldn't body shame and I question the need to do so even in this instance, but I have to acknowledge that those on the right do not respond to reason or appeals to their better nature. If by mocking them we can hurt their ego enough that they start acting better to stop the mocking and that stops them from literally killing people then by calling them 'short' we saved lives. War is messy business and I'd much rather hurt someone's ego and cause the societal harm of normalizing shaming about body type than have to kill somebody.
I'll reiterate that body shaming is an ugly thing and the only way to justify it is as the lesser of two evils. We have to hate fascists openly and unabashedly. They have to know that all the social niceties we give to tolerant people cannot apply to them.
Body acceptance is a form of tolerance and tolerance is a social contract. It's dangerous to body shame but not more dangerous than tolerating the intolerant.
Ableism is never acceptable. It's a tool of the weak-minded. A leftist using ableist terms has no solidarity and doesn't understand her premise.
Liberals are not "the left"
I'm mocking American bipartisan electoralism. How are you so naive?
You should leave the mockery to people who are better at it
Are you upset that you didn't understand what was happening? If you miss something, it's normal to feel silly, but don't make your ignorance my problem.
Lol pure projection
You're too stupid to realize you missed the entire premise of the comment you replied to. And now you're just saying words.
Embarrassing.
Lol this is also projection
It's not. I was intentionally mocking the American left by reverse conflation in the exact same way liberals think they're leftists but have never read a single point of theory.
If you have a question about politics, ask it, don't sit there uneducated forever.
Whatever you were doing you failed miserably
I think you're embarrassed because your 'lol libs arnet leftisfs' schtick fell flat on its face since you're talking to a socialist who very clearly can articulate what he meant when pressed by a random chucklefuck.
Yeah, a lot of people need to stop doing it, it doesn't harm them, or if it does it also hurts those that aren't horrible like them. People, but especially the left, need to stop doing it.
Thanks for being a sober voice in a pool of drunkards.
Great job.
