  • Damn, this is a lot to read. You’re based in Hungary, right?

    Also, as a fellow Autistic, I suggest being careful with how you air your opinions and maybe let the kids decide while presenting them the facts of the matter.

    Don’t try to browbeat them into the correct opinions or truth; you want to not traumatize anyone accidentally. Definitely clamp down on bullying.

    When I was a kid, I was called racist epithets and bullied a lot.




  • They have dunk culture when it comes to people a lot and you barely have time to respond; my own comments were one or two sentences long sometimes because 1) I was going through a crisis IRL and didn’t always have the time to respond effectively; and 2) they… sometimes made long points but didn’t always have much substance to them; it was basically “CPUSA is revisionist.” “I don’t think anyone in CPUSA is revisionist or believes in such” and then “You’re not giving me any reasons to believe that they aren’t revisionst” and I’m thinking to myself “What the fuck am I supposed to be RESPONDING to?” (Not everyone did this, and some replies were more thoughtful or well-put, and gave me more to work with, but other people just wasted time, looking back, especially during an IRL crisis, and the “he said, she said” fiasco didn’t help), and 3) the replies or comments were sometimes very rude and would spawn off into something else when I tried to call them out on their ad hominems, sometimes, I would mention one point… before someone jumped in and spawned that one sentence into something different, and usually it was rude and didn’t have anything to do with the original point. For example, someone blamed my problems on me being Autistic and justified it with saying “I’m Autistic as well” and I’m thinking to myself “Then you know that in the Autistic community, we say 'If you’ve met an Autistic person, you’ve met an Autistic person.” I do want to add that they were NOT doing it in good faith and were very rude about it too. It’s very rude to just mention that and in such a curt fashion, no matter who you are.

    There were a lot of people that, for example, were anti-Autistic or had poor behavior toward Autistic people, such as that mother who made her 3 year old son go to ABA and justified it and… wasn’t reprimanded, especially not banned. She seemed to be quite abusive, but eh, nobody did a thing.

    Overall, I could’ve handled things better, but honestly, me mentioning something like “I like CPUSA” before it spawned off into a whole argument while I was dealing with abuse and trauma IRL was really uncalled for.

    I’m glad that I was banned, I guess, looking back.
