Ask yourselves why words originated to describe disabled people are the words you use to describe fascists?

Fascists who make disabled people among the first they target & kill?

Seriously think about what it means that you'd rather use ableist slurs - that calling a fascist a fascist isn't insulting enough in itself? That calling them disabled is actually considered a *greater* insult than calling them a fascist?

It takes work to change, but the work starts with this Q.

@meganL not defending it, but the reason why is that to the people being addressed, “fascist” suggests power/agency and is a compliment whereas the ableist slur genuinely gets under their skin
