    If Hitler had been wheelchair-bound would it be wrong to insult him using the wheelchair as a point of criticism? Real question not a troll.

      Yep. Make fun of people for their actions, not aspects of their anatomy they had no choice in.

      We should criticize choices, not traits. This happens frequently when the public becomes upset with a trans person, using is as a reason to intentionally misgender them. Or using slurs to talk about a gay, PoC or religious minority when they do something shitty.

      Kaitlin Jenner has tons of wrong opinions but she is a woman who is wrong. So in the same vein, it is wrong to make fun of Hitler hypothetical wheelchair. Jasmine Crockett was out of line for her Hot Wheels comment, true MAGA has regularly said worse for years, but that doesn’t make it somehow not-albeism.
