Autism or not, he's just another edgelord trying to provoke people. And hiding behind disabilities is a really shitty thing to do.
Second, I saw no desire to see him get beaten up. More a desire to grow the fuck up.
Those tweets were written ten years ago Andy as for the desire to see him beaten up

Someone should beat him up, but just because he's an annoying little toerag
Pretty clear to me. Yeah let's go kick the autistic person's head in because his views run contrary to us.
It's pretty clear that remark is saying if he gets a hiding, it should be for being a dick, not his politics, and whatever you can say about autism, going out of your way to try and provoke people for clicks and coins is being a fucking dick. It's also pretty clearly hyperbolic in nature.
Still, if his autism means that his opinions and actions can't be taken seriously as provocation, why then should they be taken seriously outside that framing? Ye can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.
We regard capitalist journalism as an effective weapon in the hands of a well-informed, but utterly unscrupulous, enemy, rather than merely as an unbiased recorder of passing events.
