There’s a clear campaign against the mentally ill with the global rise of fascism. Lots of it shows up in anti homeless rhetoric, but you can see it in the MAHA and anti vaccination movements.

There’s no reason to use the word “r-tarded” to describe someone. As someone who’s worked with the intellectually challenged, it’s an insult to them to compare them with people who are willfully ignorant.

    Now people openly laugh at us for not having a solution to homelessness besides renaming them “unhoused.”

    As long as one ignores all the solutions that capitalists dont like, sure. We also cant figure out why people starve while we’re at it.
