Not in the personal sense of guilt, but in the sense of personhood. When you say Elon's actions are the result of an illness rather than a free unbiased choice, you're saying that such actions, such evil if you'll excuse the evocative language, cannot be the result of a person but must be the doing of an illness

Illness or not he’s a fucking asshole who deserves to eat shit

[-] exocrinous@lemm.ee -3 points 10 months ago

Yes, that was the position I started my argument from. Why are you saying it like it's an argument?

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Because you think having a mental disease absolves you from your actions. Wrong.

[-] exocrinous@lemm.ee -5 points 10 months ago

No I don't. You don't really understand what this conversation is about, do you?

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Accusing Elon of mental illness doesn't do any good. It implicitly absolves him off responsibility for his actions

Do you have a mental illness too?

[-] exocrinous@lemm.ee -2 points 10 months ago

That kind of personal attack isn't okay.

Neither is your opinion
