That Autist Rob?

@thatautistrob.bsky.social

No Redhats, Nazis, or otherwise fascist chucklefucks allowed. I post about autism, therapy, politics, funny shit, and life. Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks. Be kind, take no shit.

Today marks 25 years since the September 11th attacks. I continue to mourn the nearly 3,000 killed in the attacks, as well as the over quarter million civilians killed in the War on Terror that followed. At a certain point, we no longer get to claim victimhood, which was already flimsy at best.

If you’re upset about Charlie Kirk memes today, just remember when your hero and martyr told you that, “Empathy is a made-up, new age term.” And before you say a goddamn thing, I don’t give a fuck about the context.

Donald Trump is now saying that he will pay a “Trump dividend” of $5000 to every US citizen if The Party wins the midterms. Ah yes, along with the DOGE and tariff checks. Not only is he trying to buy the election, he’s using the “I’ll get you back later; you know I’m good for it” strategy.

You are responsible for your actions. Even if you are on drugs. Even if you have trauma. Even if you are mentally unwell. You are responsible for your actions. Part of dialectical thinking is that we hold BOTH to be true, not for one to be a qualifier or exemption.

Trump made threats. Iran responded by hitting four US bases. Trump vowed vengeance until there was “nothing left.” He bombed a wedding, and killed more kids in the process. Look, I’m glad he lied about the “nothing left” part, but this guy is a fucking monster.

Yes, we gutted the regulations that enforce food safety, and yes, the food corporations immediately cut corners leading to a spike in preventable food-borne illnesses, and yes, food costs are somehow higher now than they were without the diarrhea and death, but at least the libs are triggered. 🪨🇺🇸🦅

Nowadays it’s all Flock this and ICE that, and everyone is losing their damn minds over the Fourth Amendment. Meanwhile, here I am thinking that a lot of this would be a lot less possible had we just DEFUNDED THE GODDAMN POLICE

The people banning books are lecturing us about free speech. The people threatening to burn mosques down are lecturing us about freedom of religion. The people who beat cops at the Capitol are lecturing us about “backing the blue.” The people who support a rapist are lecturing us about morality.

The same Senators that are protecting motherfuckers who were documented raping children on a private island for decades (including the sitting President) are now holding in contempt the very doctor who developed the jab that they took so they could attend donor galas. This country deserves to fall.

We need to boost the testosterone in our military so we can actually win the wars that we started and are winning so hard in as evidenced by the fact that we keep saying we won even though we’re also crowdsourcing an exit strategy but we won but we’re not effective enough because low-T or something.
