Also, Asperger's is no longer a medical term and there is no indication that Elon has ever actually been evaluated. Autism is not an excuse to throw a Nazi salute, for fuck's sake!
Someone should tell Musk what the Nazis did with "Aspergers" kids.
as a matter of fact, Hans Asperger's work during the national socialist years in Vienna can actually be described as dialectic. a rough summary would be that while participating in the evaluation and killing of children he developed his dissertation in order to get some of the kids out of the T4 program. that dissertation later became the base for the diagnosis that was named after him and found its way into popular culture.
Seriously... The fucking irony
For lack of a better term I find it "interesting" that they're using the outdated term named for a Nazi collaborator
It's not an accident either. It's a dog whistle.
please y'all read the studies about Hans Asperger. in short: nothing happened for the amusement of Americans some 80 years later.
Autist here, while I can be awkward and accidentally do or say offensive things not meaning them...
A full on fucking Hitler salute isn't even something we can do on accident.
Closest I've gotten was while getting excited in public shouting "WHITE POWER!"
Context: I was playing a Power Rangers game on my phone, and got Tommy Oliver's White Ranger, my voice went out before I could say "Ranger"... I am very bad at controlling the volume of my voice. Seriously, sometimes I'll say something and it sounds like I'm whispering, but I"m yelling and vice versa. I have no idea what's up with that, people often have to tell me if I'm yelling or not.
Maybe stick with the Green Ranger going forward.
Did you turn around and say the same thing to the people behind you? The first one I could maybe say he did a fucked up dab. When he did it again…. I’m speechless.
No I do not believe that I did.
Eyup, Musk is a Nazi
All the fucker needed to do was raise or move the wrist shortly after the "bluff". He kept the whole arm straight, he knows he doesn't need to hide anymore.
Maybe Dr. Strangelove was autistic?
Thank you.
On Twitter, no less — a sycophant whose opinion is a net negative.
with that guy's history of making sock puppet accounts, this eric one is highly sus.
I actually did speculate on neurodiversity yesterday (as a neurodiverse person myself) and I can tell you it was because of shock over the whole thing. I'm not going to speculate.
edit: fixed some spelling
