Well some people may think people with ASD are subhuman but to me, it's more of a reflection on where society is going; we're living in a world where networking and being able to 'talk the talk' is (unfortunately) more important than anything else. So parents may not think that autism is hateful in itself but are…

White people making fun of white people has basically jumped the shark. It is a dog-whistle for social justice cred that allows untalented hacks to attack cultural institutions from the safety of a satirical position.

I just watched "Agora" last night. It's the Rachel Weisz film about how ascendant, militant Christianity in the late Roman Empire clashed with a sclerotic, condescending Paganism to the point of armed conflict and finally the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. I was trying to imagine ever being so worked up…
Any system under which behavior like this is not considered criminal, is a failed system.
Unfortunately, this kind of behavior is often written off as understandable, since parents of "disabled" children are considered to be under extreme mental distress. Look at the light or no sentences given to parents who have murdered their disabled children.
And how fucking self-centered they can be.
There are almost no words for the inhumanity of this. Someone is not only promoting a treatment of bleach enemas to…
