re: #34 Dopamine Fish

It’s not quite like that. The comment I saw on your tweet apparently thinks it’s “ableist” to talk about someone’s lack of intelligence. For certain definitions of ableism, she’s right, but you’d have to stretch pretty far to get to any of those definitions. We’re not talking about someone who is not neurotypical (e.g. autism or some mental disorders), or someone who is handicapped due to injury or disease. We’re talking about someone who is willfully ignorant and chooses to use the brain God gave her to be a complete fucking moron. “Dim-witted” is not an ableist insult like “retarded” is.

Right. And again, to imply that it’s off limits to mention it when someone in a position of power seems to lack critical thinking skills strikes me as completely foolish and self-defeating.
