Probably Not a Dinosaur

One of the things that’s so ridiculous about citing someone getting bullied in high school, or being downwardly economically mobile, as a causal explanation for them becoming a school shooter or a nazi or whatever is that those things are extremely common. Most people were bullied in school at some point in their lives. Most people are downwardly mobile as young adults. Most people have dysfunctional and/or limited social circles. Like it’s just such a weak claim. It purportedly attempts to use broader social trends to explain anti-social behaviour, but the net is cast so wide as to be meaningless, so it ends up (maybe ironically) becoming a very individualistic explanation - becoming a school shooter is because this guy, specifically, was poor. Becoming a nazi is because this guy, specifically, had a dad who didn’t care about him. It essentially lets this behaviour off the hook because it positions those social/economic circumstances as unique to Nazis and school shooters. It engages in the idea that poverty, poor education, and family dysfunction (which is only something that happens in poor households) is what produces bigotry - the unwashed ignorant masses are where bad ideas come from

i hate it when people say things that exclude the disabled and then say "i wasnt talking about disabled people" like yeah you never are that's the issue. you never think about disabled people

I've said it before and I'll say it again, disability absolutely needs to be brought up when discussing homelessness due to there being a rather significant amount of homeless people who also happen to be disabled in some way, shape, or form.

We’re past the hump now and we’re not even getting good memes out of it
