I didn’t change my tune at all, this is exactly what I was referring to, but you kneejerk reactionaries decided I was being “not nice” and that was good enough reason for you to dismiss me. “Ableist” is just another way for you to claim victimization, because that’s all the internet is now. Everyone rushing to claim victim as fast as possible because that justifies any action they take. It justifies not actually holding a discussion, because you’ve been “wronged”.

Grow the hell up and actually discuss the topic at hand, instead of attacking the person, their characteristics, and which “team” you think they play for or ulterior motives they have. All of lemmy is populated with you victimization weirdos like it’s some sort of fetish you have to be persecuted.

The original point I made, was that our democracy is at stake if some simple robocalls to idiots, morons, and retards can change the course of our nation. Robocalls don’t have to come from other US Citizens, so allowing this is tantamount to allowing other nations to control our voting.

Mods here will keep deleting my PERFECTLY valid argument, because they dislike the TYPES of words that I use. It doesn’t make my argument less valid. In this particular instance, I am referring directly to intelligence and its hand in the direction of our governing. Intelligence isn’t something I am “discriminating” against here, I am using it in a technical sense to describe the problems that it comes with. But you can’t see the fucking forest for the trees.

NORMAL people have these discussions on the daily. They don’t just turn around and walk away because someone said “retard”. Grow a thicker skin for fucks sake you absolute child.
