again with the race politics and wrong history....

africans were not taken advantage of because of their skin.... if you think that then your racist yourself as then you h ave to describe to me how their skin colour makes them more easily manipulated... its just skin... its no different to white skin, so it doesnt make them more easily taken advantage of... to think it makes them more easily taken advantage of is to play to a actual racist mindset that their skin makes them.... somehow... lesser.... i dont wanna even say this but thats what your words imply when used like that. and im guessing you must be pretty young and have been taken advantage of yourself because all this race ideas are what someone forced onto you without context or history isnt it? 

so right away those marxist ideas, pushed onto you before you understand history or reality, and you easily taking them without question because you had trust in your teachers, is a form of abuse and taking advantage of your condition isnt it?

i see you as a victim of radical left wing hate teaching. they have taken advantage of you for sure.

but as another seed to make you critically think.... you bring up european past and colonialism as a excuse to hate and demonise white people, despite the fact that was so long ago and no one was involved in that..... i want you to think back to 2000s when we had islamic terror attacks, the people who did that and support that are still alive and are guilty.... now we had a time the media demonised all muslims for terror attacks and basically said that all muslims are terrorists.... then it flipped on that and then said its then racist to say they are all terrorists and to not judge them on the actions of the few, and anyone even suspecting them as terrorists became a racist and it became racist to call muslims terrorists... 

with that in mind on the last paragraph.... flip that and impose it on your hate for white people.... its racist to call us all colonisers just because we are white, on the actions of the rich few elite who are not even alive to this day anyway. to judge us all over that we havent had a hand in, thats long past that no one guilty of is even alive... to call all white people colonisers is infact racist as calling all muslims terrorists. do you understand now? ... im not saying your racist though, im trying to make you think, what i believe is you have been brainwashed and taken advantage of by marxists who preach this racist double standards thing they call critical race theory. you need to think on it and question it more rather than take it as gospel. your being misled by it 

I edited this and put this at the top because after reading your post again then reading everyone else's again I don't detect animosity from you, I detect you coming from what is clearly Gen Z and trying to make a - HEARTFELT - point.  Therefore if you read further, view it as advice specifically understanding that thought crimes are rape of the mind and the sooner everyone in the next generation realizes this, the better your lives will be because governments have convinced you that a thought is a crime.

Do you realize we are less than 10 years from technology that can read neural impulses in the brain and display them as actions? In other words, when you're in your 30's this line of illogical reasoning will get you jailed. Imagine when you THINK the wrong thing, police show up and put you in prison. That's less than 10 years from now with current technology and your line of thinking.


Enflores3000 I say this with all due respect. I am Autistic, white, male, have died clinically twice, two other times the military had to find my body with infrared in a forest. Hate crimes are THOUGHT crimes. Did you never read 1984? We are NOT a sickness OR a disease and I don't know what is going on with Gen Z but as 41yo Gen M American male, the lack of understanding of Freedom among younger people is alarming.

We are the most marginalized, forgotten and abused group on planet Earth and never would I subscribe to the idea of "Thought Crimes." Adding us to that list just robs society of freedom and makes us victims of which we are not!

Before you go down this road of not only not understanding that a hate crime is a thought crime of which someone else gets to determine what you're punished for based on what you think that you would read

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell

Having carefully read through all of the responses to this question on this thread, given my own lived life experiences as an older Irish gay man living in the U.K. 22 years, active on both the gay scene and in non-profit parts of the gay world, from a traditional Rural Irish Catholic background, recently diagnosed later in life and having worked in supermarkets for 30 years as a traditional Irish Catholic, I consider this to be a most interesting and highly relevant question. On balance, I consider it to be true for many of us with autism even before we were diagnosed and this question is in some ways even more relevant for all of us in the post Covid era, where our world has changed so rapidly and fundamentally in the space of 4 years alone. While I personally believe that our only way out of our current situation is a return to traditional moral and social values, as I believe that so many of us have been programmed in so many ways since the 1960’s and since Vatican II, given some of the emotional based responses to this question, so many of us cannot come to terms with the fact that we have been brainwashed, mind-controlled, manipulated, indoctrinated and taken advantage of in many other ways during our lifetimes even before our diagnosis - I know that for myself, the experience of Covid has been an emotional roller-coaster as I have witnessed the rapid changes happening to our world in ways that I was not even aware of in my teens 

I am nice to other people.  And anyone who disagrees with that statement deserves a smack in the mouth.  (Irony of is that hypocrisy?)

Which sucks because when you think about it using and taking advantage of someone autistic is in a way an attack on our disability because many times people who use and take advantage of us, especially narcissists, gaslight or use our disability as a way to coerce and manipulate us. That’s why I think this needs to be a topic of discussion and something that we should consider advocating for because we deserve just as much protection as any other minority group.

I hear You.
In the eyes of the Law, taking advantage of somebody is not a hate crime.
A hate crime is defined as attacking a persons race or sexuality.

Well, it sure came across that way but then of course all of us who are Autistic do that, hear something negative and react but at the same time, I did state that I didn’t say any of that in the post several times and I also said that I don’t know where you got that from because I said in the topic and the post itself that using and taking advantage of Autistics should be considered a hate crime.

Well i am sure everybody reading this will make up their own minds.

I dont bully, i simply hear s...t and react.

I’ll Admit the “An” was a grammatical error on my part due to being tired and my brain going faster than my typing.

The topic is literally: 

I Think Taking Advantage of And Using An Autistic People Should Be Considered a Hate Crime

-.-

Well i suggest You post your topics CLEARLY in future.

I HAVE ASD !  Am i taking advantage of my flipping self also ?

You’re being irrational and I’m done talking with you because you’re just trying to start drama and I’m not having it. Just cause you’re bored is NO EXCUSE TO PUT WORDS IN SOMEONE F*CKING MOUTH. Now stop bullying me and leave me alone and trying to argue with me. I’m not gonna keep going around in circles with you about putting words in my mouth which is EXACTLY what you have done. That’s a you problem, not a me problem and attacking me isn’t going to change any of that. Anyone can look and read the post and see that no where did I say Autistic people are taking advantage of other Autistic people, no where did I say that anyone on this forum is taking advantage of anyone or that no one in the ASD community is safe from others in the ASD community. So thank you for the bullying, the sensory overload because you are putting words in my mouth, something as a fellow ASD, you should know better than to do as we tend to take everything said literally meaning we don’t go around thinking that there’s more being said than is actually said…

Ok. I,ll call it quits.
You're right. i am wrong.
Goodbye.

Please say no !

Dude, you need to take this bullying elsewhere. This is totally uncalled for and it’s very clear you’re the one trying to argue with people. You’re acting like me trying to make things better for autistic and trying to start a conversation about making it a hate crime for using and taking advantage of Autistic people is a bad thing and that’s just disgusting… sorry you’d rather see people suffer but you’re not gonna make me feel bad for it by treating me like sh*t. Bye!

I HAVE ASD !  Am i taking advantage of my flipping self also ? !

Dude, you’re literally putting words in my mouth, the title of the topic is 

I Think Taking Advantage of And Using An Autistic People Should Be Considered a Hate Crime

I’m sorry but I do. In a way it’s discrimination because it’s using someone’s disability to your advantage and how is that any different than when Africans were being taken advantage of and used because of slavery because of their skin? Both are wrong and discriminatory. I mean think about it, it’s well known Autistic people because of our lack of understanding a lot of social cues and norms, who’ve been gaslight, and endured abuse to the point of being unable to trust our own instincts are very easy targets for narcissists and used and taken advantage of by people because they can use us missing social cues and norms as a manipulation tactic.

So yeah, I honestly think that using and taking advantage of Autistic people should be considered a hate crime. I think it would very much improve and help Autistic people.

The “I’m sorry but I do.” has to do with a continuation of the topic. Talk about making assumptions… I don’t need this drama… and false accusations crap, get enough of it every day just for trying to be a good person, help people out, don’t need this cr*p from an Autistic group either. I’m off here…

What planet do you come from ?
Seriously ?
Are there any more on their way ?
Please say no !

I suggest you look at your original post at the top of this page then tell EVERYBODY on here you never said it.
The only reason i am still answering  you is because there is nothing on th t.v.
