Why does the mental illness part of this matter at all? He is at any time liable to go out of his mind and ruin people's lives, given a platform to do so. It doesn't make any difference about why that happens; he shouldn't have a platform. I don't care what's wrong with his brain, I care what's wrong with his actions and mitigating the effects of them.
A blind person should not be driving, regardless of how "ableist" this opinion makes me. Likewise, a mentally ill man with a history of life altering slander should not be writing for a public platform.
- chrsig 5y ago> Why does the mental illness part of this matter at all? Because as it turns out mental illness is part of a protected class, and that's a big deal in employment law. The solution here isn't limiting his freedom of speech, it's accommodating with a fact checker of some sort.
- blindmute 5y agoI'm not a government, so I don't care about the protected legal classes in whatever country he's in. His employers are morally obligated to come up with whatever fake excuse allows them to legally not hire this guy.
- chrsig 5y agoah, well if you're embracing open bigotry, then yeah, I can see why you'd think that.
