First the FBI warns of a possible Iranian drone strike on the West Coast, then the Army suddenly has missing drones a day later. These false flags are getting lazy.

It's always been about conquest and resources since day one.
You can't call yourself an empathetic leftist and demean people that are fighting the folks supporting genocide.
The post was originally public, but it's either been deleted or made private as I think he realizes how badly he fucked up.

All of this is to say, if you pride yourself on being a leftist with empathy, you should understand that aligning yourself with pro-genocide Zionists as you use ableist insults to silence your autistic leftist acquaintances discredits everything you think you're doing.
(17/18)
Moreover, the insult is thought-terminating as accusing an autistic person of virtue signaling is often a way to shut down conversation, dismissing their perspectives as "aggressive," "rude," or "socially performative" simply because they do not match neurotypical standards of interaction.
(16/18)
Essentially, it argues an autistic person is engaging in standard neurotypical conversation with subtext to score a higher hierarchal social status.
(Or, TLDR, they're saying you don't actually care and are lying about it to seem like a good person, but you really aren't a good person.)

When an autistic person expresses a deeply held belief, it comes from a place of deep, sincere conviction (rather than to gain social status) whereas 'virtue signaling' implies a hidden, manipulative, or superficial motive.

Why is the insult ableist? I'm glad you (hopefully) asked if you didn't already know.
This insult invalidates communication style, intentions, and lived autistic experience based on neurotypical social norms and can stem from lack of understanding of autistic communication.

But this leftist prides himself on empathy and compassion. And then he defended a Zionist and lobbed an ableist slur at me to really make it hurt.

I wouldn't expect most people to understand that saying this to someone (who has biological/neurological differences that cause them to believe passionately based on their moral compass) is a form of ableism.
(11/18)
Calling an autistic person's advocacy or passion "virtue signaling" is a distinct form of ableism.

For those unaware, justice sensitivity is a key feature/bug of autism and other forms of ND. Specifically, it's cognitive rigidity. For me, it focuses on the treatment/welfare of people everywhere (not just in the US and Israel).
Here's a graphic that explains it a little better.

Yes, I have absolutely called out pro-genocide people before that he's witnessed (again, both on/offline).
He knows this.
It's what made this bizarre b/c he'd never said a word to me before (making me believe we were aligned each time I pointed out Israel's actions).
(8/18)
TLDR, he believes my years of advocacy against genocide (both on/offline) are merely insincere virtue-signaling to score social points online.
He said this to someone he knows is autistic & has repeatedly said this issue was important (*even to this leftist IRL for Cthulhu's sake!*)

This person, who claims he'd like to see more empathy in the world, accused me of arguing w/his Zionist friend "to feel self-righteous b/c of internet virtue points." Followed by, "This isn't the first time you've done it..."
(6/18)
The "leftist" friend never bothered to comment, step in or otherwise say anything over the course of this multi-hour conversation until the very end when he chastised me for calling his friend racist as he lobbed one of the most ableist comments I've received in recent history.
(5/18)
The Zionist accused all Palestinians of being terrorists & any support for Palestine as terrorism. I called his arguments racist (among other things).
The conversation devolved as he admitted genocide wasn't a dealbreaker for him (b/c he didn't view what Israel is doing as genocide).
(4/18)
One of his white-passing friends (who I would later learn was both Jewish and a devout Zionist) chimed in to say McGinnis was supporting terrorism. This led to a predictable conversation (one I've had countless times with online Zionists).
(3/18)
A few days ago a local queer leftist acquaintance I've known for around 3-4 years published a social media post about Brian McGinnis (the Marine whose arm was broken) shown here.

I've been sitting with something for a couple of days and it's still bothering me, so I'm going to share my pain with all of you in the hopes you don't also do this. It's a multi-parter so lock in.
