Are they constantly imagining that they are talking to UNREASONABLE individuals?

I do not come from the US, but in somewhat lefty or centrist spaces I can’t see this style.

    Hi there,

    Didn’t try to offend anyone. To my excuse, I can only say that I’m not fluent in English and didn’t know that “mentally deranged” is an inappropriate collocation.

      Don’t worry too much about it. Most English speakers wouldn’t be offended, but rule #1 (“no bigotry”) for our Lemmy instance includes ableism, which includes sanism.
