I didn't ask that he redact the username. I generally block people who platform that word and words distorted to bring that word to mind, and I don't want to block Brian.

I think it's truly special that Brian was highlighting the MAGA infighting, and that caused left infighting because a nazi very unsurprisingly uses the R word in their username. It's not even Brians post. Absolutely precious. We can't afford the i fighting. MAGA can weather it better than we can.
I rejoice in their infighting, and hope it tears them all to shreds. We agree on that, and that's enough for me.
Brian didn't use that word or "platform" it. That's a screenshot of a post by a nazi. I recently watched a video of ICE agents hitting a child with their car. Is that platforming violence against children?
Expansive empathy is a thing. I can be upset that a person I respect shared a screenshot from an offensive shit poster just to show that the shit poster is against Trump now - and I'm many magnitudes more upset about the violence perpetrated by ICE and by others.
Whn u apply such a stringent view of wht constitutes th use of th R word, th only outcome is division in th already minority party.U hve zero right 2demand tht we all censure ourselves 2such a degree tht we cant even share SOMEONE ELSE'S disgusting post 2make a point. Makes me ? if that's your goal.
If we apply your logic, all of the posts & videos of evil shit happening right now should be removed in the name of "expansive empathy." We are bearing witness to some horrific shit. A nazi who calls themselves the R finder is part of that. Brian is not using the word by sharing the screenshot.
Stop it. Just stop. Brian shared a SCREENSHOT by a nazi. The nazi used the R word. So you think Brian should not have shared the screenshot & you credit him with use of the R word? That has nothing 2do with empathy 2 everything 2do with stirring shit 4 attention 2 be the purest in the room. Gross
There is a stark difference between filing an atrocity to hold someone accountable and celebrating a word that has been used to marginalize and put down autistic kids for decades. It's not virtue signaling, it's doing right by a crying boy who had to eat lunch in my room to escape his bullies.
BRIAN. DID. NOT. USE. THAT. WORD.

And, how dare any of you say he did.
