@passenger children start out tolerant and empathetic. as they grow up many have it beaten out of them, and many more have to learn to deprogram themselves... but not all. some people just know right from wrong in their hearts and won't be told otherwise, even if they're not smart in most other ways

@passenger sometimes the folks with no reading skills and no "critical theory" know what a bad thing looks like a lot better than some people who are extremely well-read.

@passenger big reason why ableist insults are silly! "stupid" does not equal "bad"

@passenger what do you mean by "stupid people"? could you say that without using an ableist slur?
