Aspies For Freedom

I would find that quite beliveable

I do not watch CSI mainly because it is as ridiculous as Law & Order has become. To look at it, you would think every crime ever committed by humanity has a 100% clear-up rate.

This is mainly why I write, though. In the past decade, I have increasingly found that the television cannot, or maybe will not, meet my entertainment needs. So I write what I would like to see in print or filmed. Some recent ideas have crossed my path that I am going to attempt to put into a novel about a segregated society with an Aspie as its muscle. I originally conceived of this idea as a television show, so hopefully a producer might be interested in optioning it. Either way, imagine what will happen when a show actually written by an Aspie depicts an Aspie. It would shake the normies' house of propaganda cards to the ground.

Just out of curiosity, I-M, what would your key aspie character be like?

I tend to include at least one character in everything I write that is almost entirely like myself. Spirit + Stone, for instance, contains a Dwarvish King who is subject to dangerous losses of equilbrium due to aggravating factors that were once in his environment, for one thing.

The central character in this story would basically be doing anything he thought necessary to effect the changes he feels are needed in the world around him. If a cabal of scientists are on the verge of finding a way to terminate Aspies in utero, he will assassinate them quite bloodily in order to set an example to those with similar ideas. If the police/society are harassing an Aspie for no good reason, he will hide that Aspie and do what it takes to turn the tables. I guess one could look on it as Fight Club for the really disenfranchised.

One thing that your posts seem to suggest is a clear distinction between "normies" and "aspies."  I rather doubt that such is true.

Come live among me and my family for a month, observing and recording everything that goes on. You'll soon discover that a rocket sled could not bridge the gap between myself and the normies of the world.

What makes you think that your family is normal?  Plus, I was making a generic claim--citing a specific instance in which you differ from so-called normal people does not mean that there are clear-cut differences between all aspies as a class and all neurotypicals. As best I can tell, there are enormous differences among aspies (as well as among neurotypicals) and some overlaps.  I think of Venn diagrams--lots of Venn diagrams.

Apart from things like other normies coming out in support of them, well, what more do I need? I can go into so many more differences, but what is the point when you are so ready to absolve them of their wrongs? Or should I think it is a-okay for Aspie children to be beaten by their parents for behaving like Aspies?

Just because a specific group of people all behave different does not make them entirely non-despicable.

I-M, your posts seem to suggest that you think an essential and defining characteristic of "normies" is to be aspie-abusers. This, based on the treatment you have received from your family and others who support your family's methodologies.

I would argue that people who participate in child abuse are not normal.

I have not seen a show that runs counter to the culture of the moment in many a year now. But that is probably the effect of watching network television in this country, which is getting so sparse for actual quality it boggles the mind.

While it is true that digital media is allowing the production of a film to become decentralised, keeping the pieces coherent becomes a big challenge in and of itself. You wind up at the mercy of others' convenience.

energeia, an actual defining characteristic of normies is that they believe they have the absolute sole right to define right and wrong, and that their definition suits them most of all. When I was stuck in the school system, abuse of Aspie children was utterly rampant. So much so that they sent Aspie children off to special schools... to abuse them. But it is truly the ones who claim this is deserved by the children that are the biggest normalists.

I would argue that child abusers are more prevalent than a lot of people think.

Ah, I-M, are you saying that anyone who articulates, and then applies, a set of moral principles is a normie? You don't think that aspies also have moral principles that they wish others would follow?

Or, are you saying that aspies are people whose values of right and wrong are different from the prevailing culture's values of right and wrong?

And I think you're right--intentional and unintentional child abuse is disturbingly prevalent.

Better yet, have children home-schooled more extensively, until they are say, ten years old. Or make the school system more efficient by not keeping children in school for year upon year of their life. The first of those floors would ensure less abuse since most parents are able to observe changes in their children.

Of course, with the normies being such sages and great leaders, they are socially engineering us to make it impossible.  :roll:

Hmmm... if I could turn the dial on that idea back a bit, I would support the idea of a more tribal community. Not so much the entire destruction of the family unit, but more integration of family units together.

To be quite frank, normies deserve hell. In the philosophy classes I used to attend with my previous girlfriend, we were constantly told that you can determine what a man deserves in his life by how he treats the most vulnerable around him.

Given that I have a mother who thought it was appropriate to pick me up by the ear and scream into it until "my brain hurt", as I put it, I think the family unit is highly overrated. In fact, the organisation through which the girlfriend and I met deals with abused children all the time, and the number who have been abused by family members...

Yes, I prefer writing over face-to-face talking any day.  I have to date over 40 published short stories and three published novels (all over 100,000 words).  It makes for a lucrative hobby.
