how did you get to supremacist from that? genuine question
There's a vocal subsection of the ASD community that treats their condition as the "superior" form of humanity (because they're low support needs and being assholes). That comment echoes that thought process.
Source: am low-support ASD tired of hearing this stuff
edit: for clarity
That's a lot of assumptions about the poster but I can see how you got there.
Below is a response to the idea of supremacy in general, not a response to @chuckleslord@lemmy.world
That seems like a particularly stupid and relatively indefensible hill to die on, but I suppose if you are going to plant a supremacist flag, you haven't really used well reasoned arguments to get there in the first place.
Why not just go with "I disagree with them to such a degree that I wish them and any like them, dead" ?
No need to base it on utterly and stupidly false claims.
I don't understand what you're saying. I don't want anyone dead, what the hell are you talking about?
ah, my bad, that was two different responses, only the first line was directed at you.
i've edited the response to be clearer.
