Hmmm, I seem to remember there’s a mental illness that causes one to randomly spout the most vile shit they can think of. Begins with a T?
Can you see where I’m going with that? In any case, illness can certainly make people violent. Look at Alzheimer’s for example. Hell, look at Charles Whitman. He knew something was wrong with him, and getting worse. After he was shot out of the clock tower they autopsied and found a brain tumor.
You… you aren’t trying to imply Tourette Syndrome, right? Because that’s not how Tourette’s works, like, at all. I would know, because I have it.
In reality, we have a set of “tics”, which are just small noises or motions we make uncontrollably. Of course, for some people it’s more severe, but the worst I’ve ever heard about is that some people may yell out swear words as one of their tics. But In no circumstance would it ever cause someone to type out and post “I’m a nazi” or “I love hitler”.
My late son had Tourette syndrome as well. Normally he had his physical and small verbal tics, but he also would get the bad word tics, I think it is called Coprolalia. But he literally never tweeted the stuff.
Of course not. I’m bringing up the fact that mental illness can cause people to act hateful, or, ya know, turn into mass shooters which OP denies is possible.
Mental illness doesn’t make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn’t make people mass shooters, that’s simply not how it works.
Mental illness can make you susceptible to stuff like this

I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine going through something like that.
He must have watched that one South Park episode and thought Cartman actually had Tourette’s 😂
there’s someone at my HS has Tourettes and occasionally I’ll hear a really high pitched “fuck” along with some other noises

Okay, so could you clarify exactly what you meant in the first paragraph?
Having tourettes doesn’t make you post about being a Nazi…Jesus Christ that’s dumb.
No, I can’t.
