Jokes are meant to be funny.

Ah yes, crabs in a bucket, doing yet another of the capitalist’s jobs for them… 🙄

I’m honestly not sure what the point of your story is, if anything, it was a surprisingly good result that the teacher was removed and the child wasn’t abused any further, and quite gross that the protest was against this happening. Sounds like you agree with the protestors and were not happy with that result and think the child should have been subjected to even more scrutiny? Which is an odd point to try and make around a group of autistic people talking about being abused by schools and other institutions.

Literally last month an autistic kid was arrested and suspended for a “bomb threat” AFTER all they found his bag was a stuffed toy.

Also

a otherly-able (I hope this is a okay descriptor)

No, it’s not ok. Disabled is the word you are looking for.

Unfortunately autistic kids still today, because knowing that autism exists and is much more common than previously realised hasn’t really stopped anyone, but rather just gives ableists more opportunities to express their ableism.

it doesn’t seem to merit this level of pedantry.

But it’s just so much easier for them than confronting the reality!

Sure thing, you keep telling yourself whatever you need to to preserve that cognitive dissonance of yours lmfao

Lol, making you uncomfortable doesn’t make it wrong.

Yup, the holocaust was legal, as was slavery, as was the genocide of Indigenous peoples the world over, as were so so many other atrocities.

But they’re not lying. It’s pretty reasonable to believe both that his parents were working class, and that him becoming a class traitor on such a level does make him a hero in capitalist eyes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah, it’s totally benign… 🙄

Lol, yeah, the billionaire owned main stream media is completely benign an neutral in its coverage. 🙄

Honestly, what will it take for some of you to stop taking the world at the face value those in power are selling you as reality?

So you’re not, in fact, “super supportive” at all then, are you, and are not, in fact, worth hearing out… 🙄

For context:

In 2023, the telecommunications company Orange generated around 17.73 billion euros in revenue in France. The revenue of Orange in the European country has fluctuated over recent years and peaked at around 18.5 billion euros in 2020.

Yup, it’s more of a thing those in power like to tell themselves to maintain their cognitive dissonance and keep them as far removed as they can from the direct consequences of their actions.

Also @spujb@lemmy.cafe - I think this thread would fit right in to your collection.

Yeah, because being objectified and sexualised from before you even hit puberty, having fewer rights (including those to your own body), getting paid less for the same work and not at all for all the work that isn’t considered work by men like raising kids and running a home, wondering if we’re one of the women who WILL statistically get murdered by their partner on any given week, being subjected to near constant rape threats and almost certainly (again, statistically it’s pretty much all women) surviving sexual harassment and abuse if not rape too and then facing an entire system dedicated to discrediting and blaming you while protecting the abusers (“wouldn’t want to ruin his life over a bit of fun”), as well as having to deal with misogynistic asshats such as yourself who convince themselves that because men buy us drinks at bars (in an expectation of sex, of course) we’ve got it easy, and pretend none of the other things are happening because it’s easier to gaslight your victims than it is to accept that you’re a massive and active part of the problem, on a daily basis, is a real fucking treat…

Ass.

Because bigots can’t help but out themselves, it’s like some sort of fucked up reflex they have…

Fair enough, I get your point that there is a philosophical question with no consensus on an answer in the kind of example you gave (potentially, unknowingly, unintentionally causing harm to a single individual at some hypothetical point in the future), and that there are interesting discussions to be had about those kinds of situations, but I still maintain that the example bares no relevance to the situation we’re discussing here (deliberately, certainly, directly and immediately causing the deaths and suffering of countless people), because as you say yourself, it’s quite easy to make the direct link from CEO to deaths.
