not because the people there are valuable.

How is attempting to be polite radical?

I think I have heard enough. Careful you might be a case for /c/meanwhileongrad

If you truly think I have to listen to you you're more delusional than I thought. I believe in IDIC. Just because I don't understand the way you think doesn't mean you aren't valuable.

I'm anti-authoritarianism, so no I don't fit there. Sorry. I'm just pro-kindness.

Where did I imply you have to listen to me? I'm pretty sure I explicitly said to make a choice for yourself. I just also said you can choose kindness and empathy, or you can choose selfishness because you are mad about change.

Good. People will assume you don't think they're valuable if you use their condition as an insult though. They'll assume that you think they're lesser, because you're saying being who they are is a bad thing. You understand how that could feel bad, right?

I’m anti-authoritarianism

That's a good one.

I’m just pro-kindness

dehumanizing people by stating they have no value is pro-kindness. News to me.

You understand how that could feel bad, right?

No, still think you are wrong. Have you heard black folk talk to each other, do they feel bad?

I know someone who would have been described as retarded in the past. I asked him, he doesn't mind, he doubts any sane person with his disability would mind.
So stop being retarded yourself and stop advocating for groups you are not a part of that don't want none of your screeching.

Coming into this instance, and stinking up the place. Other admins would have defederated, good thing we have a great admin.
(yes, hyperbole)

What? Quote me where I did that. I did not do that.

Wow, the "but they use that word!" argument. Context is important. Just like retard in music just means to slow down, how, when, and who uses words can change things.

I know someone who would have been described as retarded in the past. I asked him, he doesn't mind, he doubts any sane person with his disability would mind.

Also, the "but I have a ___ friend" argument. Hitting all of the classics right now, aren't you? One person does not make rule. I've heard from others that they don't appreciate it.

So stop being retarded yourself and stop advocating for groups you are not a part of that don't want none of your screeching.

Nice insults. Good argument. Which one of us is "screeching?"

I'll advocate for every group. All people are valuable

Other admins would have defederated from what? All other instances? I'm from a pretty small technology focused instance. You think your admin should defederated from us? Why? Because you don't like one person who's trying to get you to be a better person? Doesn't that seem a but much? Are you OK? You can talk about whatever's bothering you.
