Taking to social media and tweeting antisemitic conspiracy theories & inciting violence at Jews is not mental illness

It may be exacerbated by mental illness, but on some level those values have to be there in the first place - & saying it’s just mental illness is infantilising

People who don’t have mental health issues can be racist.

People who have mental health issues can be racist - they’re racists who happen to have mental health issues.

I will add: of course conspiracy theories can be *a* symptom of mental illness - but the incitement of violence and hatred Wiley’s shown towards Jews today is beyond that

Suggesting it’s just a mental health issue completely takes away agency, and in many ways is abelist
