Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s comments about autism are part of a long legacy of right-wing politicians deciding which people’s lives are and are not worth living.

    So let me see if I follow the anti-vaxxer dumbfuckery…

    1. Vaccines cause autism.
    2. Also, let’s target those with autism?

            My current prevailing hypothesis is that it’s that, combined with an underdeveloped empathy part of the brain, akin to aphantasia.

            These people are all about lying about how great they are when everyone knows they aren’t. It’s narcissism, or greed, or whatever you can assign to it.

            'Can’t be my fault he’s so r******d. Must be the vaccines. God damnit I knew I shoulda protected MY BABY BOOOY!! ’

            These people need to be victims, and I don’t mean that in the sense that bad things should happen to them. I mean that they personally feel the need to be victims, so they can use it as justification to lash out angrily.

          A good deal of them are people who have autistic kids. They absolutely despise their kids because they fantasize about the non-autistic child they think they could have had “if their kid only didn’t get that vaccine that turned them autistic”.

          That’s the thought pattern. I fucking seen it in person and it’s fucking disgusting.

          BTW, these same fuckweeds also like to martyr themselves on the cross of all the things they have "sacrificed’ for their autistic kids. As if loving and supporting your kid no matter what isn’t something they should be doing anyway.

    “I hate what I am ignorant of, so I will cause pain and suffering instead of trying to learn and fix my ignorance. It’s easier that way, and since I am such a huge sack of shit born with a silver spoon in my mouth and have been given many many chances to better myself I am going to close the door behind me. Fuck you, I got mine and that’s all that matters.” - Rat Fuck Kennedy

    Anyone ever hear this guy speak? He sounds like he has Parkinson’s, that disease that has no cure and is genetic and unavoidable. He needs to go on a cull list because he is unfit to be a human, not because of the disease but because he is trash.

      He has spasmodic dysphonia, a muscular condition that MAY have been exacerbated by his drug use. His voice is a result of an experimental surgery he elected to undergo to alleviate it to a degree - IIRC he is claimed to have spent most of 2017-2020 almost completely uncommunicative with the world outside his house, barely ever leaving AT ALL because his dysphonia pre-surgery was so bad that it was a great effort to speak at all.
