There are a lot of existing alternatives to temp mail, you shouldn’t need to resort to anything he has to offer…

I’m certain you didn’t mean that they are, but the meme format kinda implies it, so I just thought I’d point out from here on that intersection that the two groups aren’t mutually exclusive😊

(also shout out to fellow enby and or agender afabs lol)

Otherwise both this and op are sadly spot on.

I couldn’t help it 😊

(edit to clarify, just in case: couldn’t help but describe them that way. I just realised how confusing that phrase might be in isolation to someone who isn’t a native speaker, or maybe my stoned and tired brain is just overthinking it lol)

Jokes are meant to be funny.

Ah yes, crabs in a bucket, doing yet another of the capitalist’s jobs for them… 🙄

I’m honestly not sure what the point of your story is, if anything, it was a surprisingly good result that the teacher was removed and the child wasn’t abused any further, and quite gross that the protest was against this happening. Sounds like you agree with the protestors and were not happy with that result and think the child should have been subjected to even more scrutiny? Which is an odd point to try and make around a group of autistic people talking about being abused by schools and other institutions.

Literally last month an autistic kid was arrested and suspended for a “bomb threat” AFTER all they found his bag was a stuffed toy.

Also

a otherly-able (I hope this is a okay descriptor)

No, it’s not ok. Disabled is the word you are looking for.

Unfortunately autistic kids still today, because knowing that autism exists and is much more common than previously realised hasn’t really stopped anyone, but rather just gives ableists more opportunities to express their ableism.

Yup, it’s more of a thing those in power like to tell themselves to maintain their cognitive dissonance and keep them as far removed as they can from the direct consequences of their actions.

Fair enough, I get your point that there is a philosophical question with no consensus on an answer in the kind of example you gave (potentially, unknowingly, unintentionally causing harm to a single individual at some hypothetical point in the future), and that there are interesting discussions to be had about those kinds of situations, but I still maintain that the example bares no relevance to the situation we’re discussing here (deliberately, certainly, directly and immediately causing the deaths and suffering of countless people), because as you say yourself, it’s quite easy to make the direct link from CEO to deaths.

Except

If I leave a rake on the ground and it rusts over 5 years

Is categorically incomparable with “I implemented a robot specifically designed to withhold healthcare from as many people as possible to save my company money and gain me a big fat bonus”

I wish it were any consolation at all to say you weren’t alone in those feelings…

Oh yeah, I completely support getting these people’s names and photos out there.

“The person who killed a CEO who sanctioned the deaths of countless people for profit iS tHe rEaL nAzI!!11234” 🙄

The other person (E: whose reply seems to have now vanished?) is correct about why it’s different, but it took about a minute to do in paint, whereas finding the blank image and putting in the correct text would have taken much longer lol

Certainly a very valid point, and hopefully we’re building up to that (bigger money comes with much tighter security), but I do think the people so directly sacrificing people’s lives for profit shouldn’t be overlooked.

Unless she got fired for whistleblowing, I think we can still count her, but it is good to stay up to date, thanks!

Oh yeah, shit 😂

The movie was on in the background (which is why I looked the meme up) and winding up, so Morticia and Gomez were talking to each other, and my brain must have scrambled. I’ll fix that.

I’m from (Scotland) but I would read about insurance and employer healthcare and be really confused, since up here everything (prescriptions, glasses, teeth) is free and there’s no insurance.

I’m in England, and I know there is a difference, but I highly doubt private insurers haven’t made it up your way, and are slowly carving the NHS hollow from within just like they are down here (a very superficial look confirms that hundreds of millions are already being spent on private firms carrying out NHS Scotland work).

People get denied NHS treatment all the time, if not directly (and yes, some directly, like trans people, but also disabled people with long term and complex cases, which I know from personal experience), then via cuts and waiting times.

Sure, we have it better than the yanks, and you up north have it better than us down south, but please lets not pretend our NHS is in good shape (or hands, Starmer has made it clear that he is for more privatisation), providing prompt and accessible healthcare, or not going the exact same way the US healthcare system is (often being bought up by the very same companies).

The last thing we need is to be getting complacent.

Lol, absolutely fucking not.

More like

(perhaps not in abolishing the system quite yet, but in finally understanding the inevitability of how that’ll have to happen)

I see zero reason for it to not be both. These people are all your enemy, as is everyone above them in the chain.
