I’ve been autistic for 43 years. Yet somehow I’ve avoided amassing billions of dollars to further the cause of worldwide fascism.

Weird how that works.

34 years here, and not yet done anything resembling a fascist salute, unless you count awkward waves turned into touching my hair when I realised that person waving at me was waving at someone past me instead.

votecnp.bsky.social•43 days ago

Right, he's a psychotic Nazi greed head. The fact that he also is neurodiverse is irrelevant and certainly not an excuse for giving Nazi salutes FFS🤦

annalyric.bsky.social•42 days ago

Isn't it funny?

I've been autistic for 40. And you're not gonna believe this, but the 'tism has never made me do a Sieg Heil!!!

wave-wellness.bsky.social•43 days ago

I've also never done a "Roman salute" on accident. Weird.

Woman 👍🏻
Apparently I’ve been autistic for longer than that
and *this*
Reminds me of one day in college when a guy came over, chatted, and then said, “Sorry I was an asshole last night, I was drunk.”
“I’m not an asshole when I’m sober, so I’m not an asshole when I’m drunk.”
said 18 year-old me

Wait, the right feels empathy for autistic people now? Truly bizarre times we live in.

You can rest easy knowing that all the funds previously allocated to support programs for the disabled will be going to your friendly neighborhood billionaire going forward.

Because you know. Mars.

Ha yes

Go on, do an autism for the nice lady.. SEIG HEIL..

graybeaton.bsky.social•43 days ago

That is odd, my daughter's 9 and she's got all my cash! Non-verbal so uncertain about her views on state capitalism and media ownership. Will enquire.

vanjuska.bsky.social•43 days ago

almost as old and never managed to give a nazi salute as a result of “social awkwardness.” must be doing something wrong i guess

buddshenkin.bsky.social•43 days ago

LOL!!!

promobarbi.bsky.social•43 days ago

Same!

purplepuddlenut.bsky.social•43 days ago

Sus

quincedad.bsky.social•43 days ago

Have you tried the nazi salute?

ahideousthing.bsky.social•42 days ago

You probably didn't get given a lot of that by your parents from their apartheid era emerald mine, and then get even more in government subsidies. Same here tbh

tiadee1031.bsky.social•43 days ago

ADHD here for 71 years and I've never done a Nazi salute.....

goodbyeyall.bsky.social•42 days ago

45 years for me!

witcheshut.bsky.social•43 days ago

Same here.

sarahmucho.bsky.social•43 days ago

If only you reduced your Starbucks latte orders… maybe then you’d be able to say you did both. 😉

I'll bet you probably have not "accidentally" hailed a smatc either.

crashdive625.bsky.social•42 days ago

Well done!

twfarlan.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh but his particular hyperfixation is apartheid-style oppression. /s

cheryldambrose.bsky.social•42 days ago

Special interest. Taking over the universe.
/s

mipmarsh.bsky.social•42 days ago

ADHD and dyslexic for 38 years. Never got distracted half way through doing the dishes and accidentally written a bunch of fascist social media posts.

db-user.bsky.social•42 days ago

I've also refrained from bursting out in Nazi/fascist salute to express the feelings in my heart. Not once have I done that!

northwitch.bsky.social•42 days ago

You’re not doing it right

plopseven.bsky.social•42 days ago

The US didn’t fight WW2 against “neurodivergent people.”

If fought it against fascists.

squizzradical.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’ve been autistic for 47 and nope, haven’t got any reason to support fascism.

kaimaster.nafofellas.com•42 days ago

But do you ever find yourself accidentally giving the Seig Heil when you are over excited about something?

karlosrovira.bsky.social•43 days ago

A T-Shirt saying "It's not autism, it's fascism."

emilyrose.bsky.social•42 days ago

Here you go.

karlosrovira.bsky.social•42 days ago

Thank you!

emilyrose.bsky.social•43 days ago

That can be arranged.

blametrumpvoters.com•43 days ago

I bet you never gave a Hitler salute to an adoring crowd, either.

jeezusno.bsky.social•43 days ago

Your daddy didnt have an emerald mine to enrich you!

quelynn.bsky.social•42 days ago

You probably never made a Hitler salute ”by mistake” either.

madamew.bsky.social•42 days ago

I bet you’ve never accidentally autistically done a Nazi salute either.

shahabzargari.net•42 days ago

Weird! Sus!

amandajones29.bsky.social•43 days ago

hmm. Have you tried pulling yourself up by your boot straps?

theramblerouser.bsky.social•43 days ago

To be fair, for me it's just the "further the cause of worldwide fascism" part I would classify as "successfully avoided". The "amassing billions of dollars" portion is purely that I've tried and failed.

machineiv.bsky.social•43 days ago

You should have been born with an apartheid emerald mine!

theramblerouser.bsky.social•43 days ago

angryparakeet.bsky.social•43 days ago

Autism haver as well. Probably nobody ever prescribed having a parent with an emerald mine fortune to us.

jayelise99.bsky.social•42 days ago

47, autistic, and me too

g-ill.bsky.social•43 days ago

Because Elmo actually isn’t autistic. That’s a calculated lie intended both: to make him more appealing to the many neurodivergent folks in STEM & VC, & to silence folks who recognize he’s an oafish social subtard arrogant prick, who believes he’s the smartest dude in any room & w no sense of humor.
