Once AS becomes "woke"

Really sadly, I think some people don't care about being seen as nasty.

They kind of enjoy it. It's a power kick.

But when there's filmed evidence of them looking 'cringey', they mind that.

It's something that is hard for autistic people (and for intelligent, nice NT people like you) to really wrap our heads around. We don't care enough about 'cool' to get it.

In Stranger Things there's a scene where a school bully - who knew he was seen as horrible and who didn't care about that - is made to pee himself through the power of mind control. Cringey and embarrassing for him. It's like that. Except this time they brought it on themselves.

I think this will put off people, esp young people, who might have joined Neo-Nazi gangs in an attempt to be cool and powerful and because they didn't like minorities. It used to be that the cringey nature of 'SJWs' put people being of 'SJW'. Same cringe thing will now be in effect in reverse.

Real racists will probably just shift. Find new ways to say the same stuff. That's how they are still around: after all, Nazis and KKK are not just dangerous but also ridiculous.

If you think someone is doing it just for the sake of it and doesn't believe in it, call them a hypocrite.

In my experience people don't tend to know.

People who are virtuous are better than those who aren't. That's what virtue means. And why we argue about what is virtuous and what isn't.

Again: it strikes me as like an NT kid saying to another kid 'quit being such a goody goody'.

If you think they're being virtuous, copy their example.

If you don't, criticise their 'virtue'.

Exactly.

I've been called a virtue signaller just for having different POVs to other people.

I do it from a good place not from a look at me place.

1 I don't care what is cringey or not because I'm not an NT Cool Dude type.

2 The 75 gender thing is a straw man. The actual argument is that gender is on a spectrum. As soon as one recognises the difference between sex and gender, this becomes obvious.

3 It's not actually that hard to say 'they' if someone asks you to.

Israel is not just a racist theocracy, it practices apartheid.

Turning words into a pejorative is just a way to create an ad hominem fallacy and deflect the conversation away from the issue. Part of that fallacy is creating the perception of hypocrisy of the person that cares about certain issues. Ultimately, the argument is coming down to the speaker using this approach just does want others to do something the speaker does not like. It also gives the speaker a false sense of superiority as they don't need to to actually provide an argument against the issue. It is simply a rhetorical tactic to shut down discussion.

Thus, supporting Israel makes someone a racist-by-proxy -- a supporter of racism.

Which American administration did not support Israel?

None. Israel is an Anglo-American base in the oilfields.

Every administration has supported Israel. But some also supported the Palestinian to greater degrees.

Wait, the 76 genders thing was a lie the whole time? I have literally seen people say this. Maybe they were just Tumblr trolls to hurt the LGBT. :shrugs:

Is autismgender also a made up right wing troll thing too?
