Jason Unruhe and autisme

Dear people,

On Youtube there is a communist YouTuber named Jason Unruhe (aka Maoist Rebel News) who makes interesting videos about politics: He defends North Korea, for example, saying that there is democracy there and things like that.

What bothers me most about Jason is that he seems to attack autism as some sort of "disease". He says that autism is not an identity and that liberalism makes autism an identity, because according to Jason identity politics is liberalism.

Below Jason's videos:

  • I find it ironic that a Communist would deride identity politics; given that the latter is pursued by Marxist American Lecturers.

  • Everyone has views and opinions and their is lot of information that is on Youtube as a platform that I disagree with when it come to politics, autism and other related subjects. You have to remember that every time someone watches or stumbles onto their content it promotes and encourages the content creators view point. You don't necessarily have to understand their point of view, but you have to at least try and understand where their coming from and learn to respect it. 

    I kind of agree that being autistic shouldn't be someone whole identity but its also a lot more complicated because its apart of what makes you, you. Those that are social warriors for autism often fail to represent the entire diverse range of autistic individuals and some of them have use their autism as a business or a weapon to sell their own agendas   

    An example here would be that I personally dislike  "The Aspie World" as a lot of his content is extremely contradictory & extremely repetitive. "The Aspie World" on YouTube often fails to explain from experience but instead pushes fictional & stereotypical opinions on what autism actually is in order to push merchandise & their brand which is having serious negative effect of the general publics opinion and views on individuals with autism. "The Aspie World"  influence created a massive issue a year ago where because  "The Aspie World" was rejected from appearing on a tv show that would of promote his career not awareness and they directly and encourage an entire impressionable fanbase of young autistic audience to go after show creators personally which gave us so much negative press in media outlets across the country.  

    The content creator who is behind "The Aspie World" fails to see that his family, location & early intervention has enabled him to succeed and I just cant relate to them at all & many people on the spectrum especially those who diagnosed later in life are frequently compared to individuals like "The Aspie World" and Elon musk which is like comparing the average working class the the extremely wealthy.
