This is what the republicams wanted, don't let them scream uncle
who the fuck still thinks it wasn't ...
All Republicans. My idiot sister. She's like "I watched it" as if that's proof it wasn't? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you're in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn't change her mind. She thinks we're all over reacting.
Breaking: Elon Musk's daughter has eyes and a working brain.
True, but shed also particularly able to speak on his mens rea. She's spoken openly about how even when she was young he was bigoted and cruel. So while many of us may have witnessed a man get radicalized by the right wing as he lost his damn mind which might lead some to think it was him being edgy or something, she's able to say that no, he in his private life as a man who was merely rich was a massive shit stain.
a comment on reddit, said vivian had less gender affirming care than elon musk.
Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem from the rest of New York.
It definitely was. He's apartheid nepo baby. Autistic or not, he's racist and a terrible asshole. Also a nazi.
If he's autistic, that can be dangerous when mixed with narcissism. There's research showing a link between it and mass shootings (practical example here). Possibly due to some autistic people thinking in polarised extremes, having poor social skills and lacking effective empathy.
At least provide some scientific data to back up any claim like this. Posting this is an extremely harmful claim to make regardless, but to do so with a “practical example” is not only incredibly offensive it has the potential to be profoundly harmful. Please consider providing real data for your claims or editing your post entirely.
No problem at all, and as a disabled and neurodiverse person, I really appreciate your concern. I'm at work so I've only got a few papers to hand but there's:
Kenyon, Baker-Really and Binder - lone actor terrorism, a systematic literature review. Ebbrecht - risk factors and mechanisms of radicalisation in lone actor grievance fuelled violence. Broad- incels, violence and mental disorder
That's an exceptionally dangerous claim to make; it's going to cause people to further alienate people that are on the autism spectrum. When you look at the report that the US Secret Service released on mass shootings (I'd have to find it; I've got a copy saved somewhere), autism spectrum disorder is not listed as a factor, while things like divorced parents is.
Perhaps you missed the part that said, "[Forensic psychiatrist Dr Iain Kooyman] found Prosper had an 'extreme lack' of empathy and remorse - something that could not be explained by ASD alone."
And, BTW, people on the autism spectrum lack effective empathy, not empathy. That means that a person on the spectrum has a reduced ability to understand what a person is experiencing or feeling, not that they don't feel empathy when they do know.
Youre right, I should have said effective empathy or similar, I'll edit my comment. As a disabled and neurodiverse person, I really appreciate you pulling me up on it. I'm at work so I've only got a few papers to hand but there's:
Kenyon, Baker-Really and Binder - lone actor terrorism, a systematic literature review. Ebbrecht - risk factors and mechanisms of radicalisation in lone actor grievance fuelled violence. Broad- incels, violence and mental disorder
And I agree, autism doesn't explain mass violence or cruelty.
