>>1107"It would seem the reporting of Putin's alleged autism is geared towards working on the unspoken prejudice against those on the autistic spectrum which permeates though society, in order to slander a political opponent.
The perhaps unintended off-shoot of this is that they could be seen as arguing for the inverse - that through guilt by association to the ideological enemy, to the international "bad guy", the unreasonable despot, there must be something wrong with others on the spectrum, something irreconcilable with the general public.
And just like that you've made a new enemy.
We live in a world where we are forced to adhere to the view that non-binary genderfluid diversity is not a disease, and not a lifestyle choice, but simply another way of being. Yet unquestionably, everyone (including many on the spectrum) accept that high-functioning autism is a disorder.
Note, this is feminist agenda, articulated no better than by Simon Baron-Cohen, academic, feminist, Jew, with his Empathizing-Systemizing "Theory".
His theory purports that men tend towards the systemizing, women towards the empathizing. I won't touch on how his crude, biased (mis)understanding of empathizing skews his theory (even in the case of Autists), but the upshot of his theory is that the extreme systemizing, hypermale brain "may be symptomatic of Asperger's", et voila, the psychology of the male is labeled a disorder."
I just listened to it again and I don't think I burped. I was taking a gulp of water a couple of times. My burps would've been a lot louder.

>>1108there is such a variety of accents in Britain that it's not entirely false to view most British accents (excepting received pronunciation) as non-standard.
same goes for american i guess, again a variety of accents even though they're spaced out over a larger area.
if you're saying you speak standardized american english, that's a pity.
why don't more americans have jodie foster's accent?
