Alright folks I don't want this to be a struggle session so let's operate from "'stupid' and 'dumb' are ableist terms, now what?" I would like people to offer up alternative insults/negative remarks. (hexbear.net)

While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

Like, @context 's comment says to focus on material conditions. "Backwards" holds implicit that a person holds those ideas because of material conditions, usually underdevelopment. "Incoherent" focuses on the deficiencies of the statement, not the personality of the person saying them.

I think you misunderstood my comment you silly Billy.
