"I don't think you have to worry about mentally ill people gaining power from it" The Libreboot story contradicts this. Someone suffering from mental illness ("gender dysphoria") used SJW reasons to take over a project.

The post makes clear she was already a single point of failure in the project's power structure well before the allegations were made. Unless you have some facts that indicate it was her mental illness that was responsible for her "rise to power", your conclusion is not justified by evidence. In any case, if you care about reason and truth it was disingenuous of you to make that assertion with no attempt to support it. It's a common tactic of overzealous critics of SJWs to categorize their own assertions as "facts" when they are just opposite opinions.

  How dare you! I am mentally ill myself, and attacking me shows your bigotry.

    Again with throwing someone else's words at me as if I agree with them or have to apologize for them. I thought I had made my opinions on SJW tactics pretty clear. This is like talking to a particularly rigid telemarketing script, which doesn't even actually accomplish anything when its assumptions hold. Now that I think of it, I could swear I've seen that tactic somewhere before...

      Now you understand. You feel defensive. As if you have to apologise. That's how mental illness is operationalised. That's the lever of power.

        I don't feel defensive because I've possibly argued against a mentally ill person at all, since I don't think that's wrong (I'm also super circumspect that you are mentally ill). Seriously, do you just have your side of the conversation written down somewhere and refuse to deviate from the script?

        You're a little dense. Of course I'm not mentally ill. You said, "I don't think you have to worry about mentally ill people gaining power from it." I said I was mentally ill, to prove that you would feel defensive. And show how mental illness is used to gain power - contra to your statement. And you responded exactly as expected. As if from a script. Feeling defensive. It's a bit pointless for you to argue with someone when you prove their own points with your responses.
