    Was the shot at Abbott’s disability really necessary? He’s an awful enough person that surely you can find something else to slam besides that

            No worries; I saw it once and it stuck with me. For an ms paint drawing it’s pretty powerful. I do have one small issue with it, which is that it doesn’t explicitly state that it is not a bad thing to have that trait. Calling someone disabled as an insult implies that being disabled is bad, which I fundamentally disagree with. It’s not because I ‘don’t want to upset anyone’ – it’s because I completely disagree with the implication, and I think the implication is directly damaging to us as a society.

            I’d much rather insult someone because they’re a neo-fascist who deserves to find Lego on their bathroom floor with their foot at 1am when they only went for a piss and now the pain and adrenaline has jolted them awake and they won’t sleep until at least 4am… for the rest of their life.

      Nah. Tolerance and respect is a peace treaty, and he violates it every time he opens his mouth or holds a pen. He doesn’t get to benefit from the same grace he maliciously refuses to give others.

      He’s the only guy in a wheelchair I’d advocate for pushing the damn thing over and running away.
