Just had to out this somewhere and this is probably the most safe space for it.

I am an ultra left anarchist so i support any progress shift in us political polls and i do get it.

I dont and wont ask people to stop using effective political memes. But whenever i see a top comment labeled these bad people as weird, i feel like i too would not be accepted, even if i know thats not what its about.

Sorry.

    Language and definition are a part of culture and subject to change though. (TIL: a word for a definition that is no Longer in use is archaic)

    There is also my own interpretation of information.

    I do wanna make a quick note that i am very aware of the difference in how i feel about stuff and how it is commonly perceived It is however my experience that such conflicts does not remove the reality of the subjective experience.

    I would not actually say its troubling me or that i am in distress but it was simply an observation of inner discomfort associated with the expression of which i correctly assumed other neurodivergent must have sensed it.

    So having leveled that pitfall (attempt):

    Following wiktionary the definition of weird can portray to one of the following:

    1.	Unusually strange character or behavior.
2.	Deviating from the normal; bizarre.
3.	Relating to weird fiction (macabre speculative fiction).
4.	(Archaic) Pertaining to the Fates.
5.	(Archaic) Connected with fate or destiny; able to influence fate.
6.	(Archaic) Pertaining to witches or witchcraft; supernatural; unearthly.
7.	(Archaic) Having supernatural or preternatural power.

    I believe many on the spectrum have experience expressing 1 and 2

    Personality i would call republicans sick. I think they are perfectly reasonable if you consider that they have a completely broken perspective of reality.

    Greed, inflated ego, lack of empathy. They are illnesses because they are undermining the survival of our species as a whole.

      Yeah but that’s what I’m saying. When people call Trump weird it’s because he fits the definition of 1 and 2 when compared to every other candidate in the modern era. So he really is weird in that way. Where as you may feel 1 and 2 but just different from your peer group. It’s not an insult in either scenario. Although colloquially it’s meant to be.
