Sure, but that's not hte joke in the OP. The joke in the OP is that Zuckerberg looks like a robot, which is a pretty well known anti-autistic trope that we aren't human because we do not emote how an allistic does. It doesn't even matter whether he's diagnosed as autistic or not, that he passes as such and gets shit for not emoting (a thing I don't do "correctly" either) is still having the effect of stigmatizing autism, just as accusations of Michelle Obama being a man are still transmisogynistic (and racist) even though she's cis. Nobody should need a diagnosis to not get shit for having a "weird" face or showing what allistics think are "human" emotions. And Musk is very openly autistic.
They don't call them lizards because they aren't Jewish. Lizard people is a known antisemitic conspiracy theory. That's the joke. We shouldn't even be entertaining using "jokes" from Alex Jones types, that he's Jewish should make calling him a lizard person unacceptable. We shouldn't really be calling anyone lizard people for the same reason, but especially not a Jewish person. You're probably right that most people aren't aware that he's Jewish, but the people who started calling him a lizard person sure as shit did and are probably quite pleased they got normies parroting their shit.
Yeah, because we're not defending Zuckerberg as a person. I don't particularly care if he's slandered as a pedophile other than wanting people to have an accurate picture of why he's a piece of shit. We're defending autistic people from the friendly fire of brocialists doing shitty bits that stigmatize who we are because it manifested in a billionaire we hate.
If we're gonna focus on who's overall hated more, yeah. I don't think the person you responded to should have necessarily made this about XYZ billionaire is hated more because they pass as autistic, but the ways they are attacked view the fact they pass as autistic as a vulnerability that can be freely exploited for cheap dunks, because how autistic comrades feel about it don't matter to brocialists.
Again, it doesn't matter if most people don't know he's Jewish. The people who do know push the lizard memes and are very happy that it's mainstream to call a hated Jew running the world a lizard person, it grants them plenty of cover to be antisemitic in public and get away with it.
You're right there I suppose. I guess it's similar to complaining about Soros all the time as if he's the ultimate puppeteer and not just another run of the mill capitalist in the giant sea of capitalists.
