By not believing disabled people are people.

I’m saying that a guy who studied a rapid genocide by a people group who didn’t seize the apparatus of government has a blind spot around fascist regimes who did. Admittedly wrote that sentence poorly. Character limits, no edit button, and comment threads are not great ways for me to communicate.

fair enough, but “he’s speaking from ignorance” isn’t really a defense so much as an explanation, especially if he styles himself an expert on fascism and has such major blind spots about it

I’ve never seen anywhere that he claims to be an expert of fascism (though admittedly haven’t read everything he’s written recently), but I’ve used his stuff when discussing state violence and the conditions of genocide.

I think his statement at the beginning of this thread shows a belief in himself as more of an expert than the incorrect claims in it show him to be

So ummmm, why are you melting down then?
