When abled progressives use ableist insults against right wingers, they're engaging in similar shit as right wingers do. "Cretin" is a eugenicist term. These fascists are eugenicists. "Personality disorder" would be a real disorder and something that person couldn't help. In other words, an alibi. So using it as an insult shows disgust for people with disabilities at the same time as it's exculpating fascists by not focusing on their CHOICE to enact violence. #Ableism #Eugenics

I've heard folks say, "I use these words because they hurt right wingers. I want to insult them." The question is, why do you agree with right wingers that "disabled" is an insult? Why do you think it's more insulting to accuse them of something people are born with rather than focusing on their actual choices to do evil things?
