instead, I seclude myself at home (online) and engage in radical liberal divination
have you considered that organizing the masses is cringe

Real praxis is day drinking in your Baltimore apartment (I did A LOT of praxis in my mid-20s FYI)

her grift isn’t even political, it’s getting people to believe she’s alive inside
Getting roasted in the replies.
I get it, you are an avant-garde artist who has no use for things such as ‘community’.
I’m starting to be positive about natalie’s patreon income because it seems to be the most humane way to ensure nobody ever has to interact with her in real life
I thought everyone unsubbed already and the CIA is laundering the money to her through it still
oh, word? In that case, critical support to the CIA for ensuring natalie does not cause harm with her presence in any organizing situation
don’t think there was any real risk of her ending up in one of those, there might be icky poors there!
I think it would be good for her if she had to go outside and talk to anyone who wasn’t an internet personality and/or one of her sycophants
The post she is commenting on is a year old. Do you think she just saw it, looked specifically for it, or took a year to come up with this zinger?
All of the above
Calling NYC DSAers Marxists gives this a very

It’s offensive to asses!!!
fuck this
Yeah, it’s ableism, as can be seen from how: a) anyone still uses the term “d–b” to refer to mute people and b) “d–bass” is totally in reference to an ass who shares a quality with a mute person. You can tell from the context, which is that it’s being leveled at a person who is mainly known for bloviating by means of speech in response to yet another unreasonable communication from her, which clearly means it is plausible and salient to liken her to a mute person. That’s just how language works.
We’ve discussed this issue on the site before. The reason a word like “dumb” is considered ableist here is not its previous meaning as “mute,” it’s that it currently is synonymous with “stupid” which is an intelligence-based insult.
Are all intelligence based insults ableist? I’m skeptical of this because I think lacking intelligence is not something inherently linked to disability. Plenty of disabled people, even mentally disabled people, are perfectly intelligent. Many neurotypical people are not intelligent, and much of that lack of intelligence is born of laziness and uncuriousness. I don’t think your average person who denies climate change because it was cold out yesterday is disabled in anyway, they just reject facts because acknowledging them would be too much work so they’d rather enjoy their ignorance.
Okay, doesn’t answer my question
Sorry, meant to defer to ND comrades, not to be dismissive. My personal take is that insults based on intelligence are ableist, despite ability not being equal to intelligence, because someone’s mental functions are never the reason for them doing or saying something reactionary. When you use someone’s perceived lack of intelligence as an insult, you’re reinforcing the idea that someone’s worth is (at least in part) based on having the correct mental ability.
FWIW I’ve used those words in an ableist way on this website before, even pretty recently. It’s one of the harder things to correct.
You oppose religion and yet you occupy its premises. How ironic.
Yeah our PR guy is named Dick Fuckner, why do you ask?
