    If this person has been diagnosed with Asperger’s as her profile name seems to imply, I’m not sure she should be super thrilled about eugenics. Considering labels like “Asperger’s” and “Low and High functioning autistic” were invented by the nazi to determine which “untermensch” were going to be subjected to slave labour or simply exterminated.

      A lot of libertarians in Poland at least, but also seen that in english internet, got for some reason* convinced that having asperger syndrome makes them some kind of math genius automatically. And thus, because libertarians are nazis and think in nazi terms, modern specifically capitalist ubermensch and since capitalism is something completely natural also evolutionary advantage.

      *That reason is probably Janusz Korwin Mikke, who have asperger and is successfully grifting them for nearly 45 years by now.

      Well Asperger himself was a fucking nazi who sent children to death camps if they weren’t “high functioning” enough by his standards so yea

      People on the spectrum who aren’t fascists really shouldn’t be using his name for themselves or at least they should have to read about who he was and decide if they still want to use that label
