One can present a state of derangement independent of their normal mental health but which does endanger those around them while the state is ongoing. I hope you are not falling for garden variety concern trolling but even as a non-local user I wanna say I do appreciate your commenting (and that of the individual who filed the report) to prevent casual ableism.

That’s like saying Thatcherite, carpet bagger, TERF or brownshirt are slurs. You may not identify with the term but we have a long way to go before its a slur.

“They chose this”
Ah yes, the drowned children and the women carrying ectopic embryos and the detainees all down to a man chose this by voting. Sure.
There’s an empathy shortage on this planet and its gonna drive us extinct. People on this site delight in the suffering of faceless unknown Americans like my grandparents delighting in Christendom’s pillaging of the heathen Middle Eastern countries because “they chose wrong,” that choice being non Christian and non-white.
I think they might have mumblemouthed it but you bastards have decided among yourselves that their mispoken statement cannot merely represent an ignorant and misinformed read of history but an intentionally violently racist viewpoint. The screenshotted user was I warrant correct in their historical analysis and absolutely fucking wrong to put words in the thread-OPs mouth, as if earnestly trying to alienate instead of persuade or fact check a damn thing.
Like yeah, abolition wouldn’t have happened without black people, from freedmen writers to rebelling chattel slaves, advocated for themselves. All the well meaning white people (on average rarer then anyway) wouldn’t have meant much without black people wanting to be free and making it known.
Why would you go out of your way to read a person’s response in the worst possible way? Maybe I’m just a fukken airhead but I didn’t see any dogwhistle that justified how you lot are speaking to them. You simply decided to tar and feather the fucker for being kind of wrong about labor history. Then you springboarded into a merciless bed of assumptions.
