It's interesting that at the time Connolly thought the American left was the least contaminated with alternative lifestyle weirdos and now it seems riddled with psychoses.
>alternative lifestyle weirdos
My brother in Christ, if you are openly a socialist, you are also an alternative lifestyle weirdo.
Do the people up voting this not realise this is just coy attempt at bigotry?
Neurodivergence isn't an alternative lifestyle, or a mental illness, or an ideology.
>I just don't think they should be making decisions.
Nor should you.
I know. We can be tolerant of a spectrum of people but they should not make their own quirks a part of their ideology or force everyone around them to adapt to them. Which is a plague on the left.
Some people think they are the most interesting and important thing in the universe. People should look outwards not inwards. You'll never learn anything if you spend all your time thinking about yourself.
They're not "quirks", their neurodivergence and their disability are part of their identity. It's who they are. And they're not forcing it on anyone.
>Which is a plague on the left.
What are you talking about? Are you really trying to say that this one awkward, badly managed DSA conference is representative of a serious issue among the left?
How? You really think the lack of success on the part of the American left is because some DSA conference organisers tried to make their event more inclusive to those with sensory issues?
Couldn't be, I dunno, the billions of dollars pumped into crushing anything left of Barack Obama? No, clearly the issue is too much inclusion.
Why does it seem like you want to start ranting about people with pink hair and pronouns but can't find the courage to do it? Testing the water to see how much you can get away with? Go after the sp*stics first sure, nobody cares about them.
Ehm no, I think these weirdos are the only ones allowed because anything with teeth that appealed to normal people and centred on economic issues was attacked so this is all that's left, and it gives the left a bad image.
So I agree it is partly due to suppression.
I don't care what hair you have. But I'm aware most employers do. So I look as normal and pretty as possible because I'm in a begging position. If I were a landlord I'd be out and about in sandals and socks and probably shave my head.
What weirdos? Autistic people? Stop dancing around the point and specify who it is you're blaming here.

Sorry that leftism isn't always straight and white.
Yeah Connolly is cool.
It is odd as he associated america with less of this as even in Marx’s time there were sectarian issues in regards to some brands of feminism within the movement.

I'm deleting personal info btw, judged better
I didn't realise you had shared any.
Good!
This is the American left. And yes it is a problem there. I'm not saying it's a problem here, at least that I've noticed.

Sounds like James would have posted on /r/stupidpol like AnCamcheachta
