You better come with some jokes then. When I'm moving some bulky furniture upstairs and really not having a good time, sometimes a well-timed joke is exactly what we need to drop it and injure ourselves.
Was this supposed to be an attempt at a joke?
If you want to be included by people, try to be less of a dick.
This isn't me talking about the wider disabled community, of which I am part of, when I say this btw, this is me talking to you.
Okay, while you're jerking off the dicks driving big-ass little-dick trucks, I guess I'll try being nicer to those assholes while they honk their horns at pedestrians, double-park or park on crosswalks, and all that other shit that they do and everyone knows they do because they're doing it in big-ass trucks and it's not subtle.
Especially the ones rolling coal and flying trump flags. Should I try to be less of a dick to them to? I don't want to be included in whatever they've got going on. I certainly would never ask one to help move furniture. Their trucks are only for show anyway...
Are you in a lot of pain or in withdrawel or something? I'm struggling to understand where all this self victimising vitriol is coming from otherwise.
Yes, being disabled sucks, yes most people also suck, and everything is also fucking awful everywhere most of the time, and that sucks too.
But this is a comment section under a lighthearted post about moving furniture, so there's obviously something else going on that has you so upset.
Also, I don't know what makes you say standing up for pedestrians, disabled people, and other invisible or marginalized groups makes me "self-victimizing."
Do I find myself in some of those groups? Sure. But telling people they can't stand up for a marginalized group if they include themself in that group is a very insidious way to put down any resistance to fascism.
Yes, of course. You're so special and woke and this is such wonderful resistance you're doing! Everybody needs to listen to your miserable bitching about how awful you know everyone really is, and if they don't then it's fascism.
Lmao, seriously are you like bpd or something? This is such attention seeking woe is me bullshit you're pulling here, it's really gross to watch.
Oh fuck off. The next time you hear people talk about racism or sexism you should respond the same way you're doing now and see what that gets you.
Maybe ableism isn't as "hot" of a topic or whatever, it's not as sexy to discuss it as other forms of oppression, but if anything that just goes to show the disabled are even more marginalized, since apparently no one has their back and it's such "attention seeking woe is me bullshit" to critique ableism, according to you.
And don't pretend you're not ableist, you literally just stigmatized mental illness, specifically borderline personality disorder, as if people struggling with that don't already struggle enough with social rejection and low self-esteem. Genuinely, fuck you.
Of course I'm in pain. Putting aside a lifetime of social rejection, ostracization, ridicule, and derision for being different (and therefore incomprehensible to the normies who fear and hate anything they don't understand), I've spent the last few years watching my country devolve into fascism.
And these "Kevins" in the world who drive these big trucks, and are willing to help out their neighbors, are not always the "good people" that this post portrays them as. Their neighbors might call them "good ole boys," but there's a dark side to it. Those Kevins often voted for trump, support the fascist GOP and the capitalist order, often hate anyone they view as too different.
They might accept the OOP even though he's Asian, but if he was Black or Hispanic it might be a completely different story. If he was gay or trans it might be a completely different story. Kevin isn't some benevolent altruist who will help anybody and everybody. I know these types of people. They might seem nice on the surface, if you're the type of person they don't exclude. But in order to keep their approval, if you have it in the first place, you'd better not say anything that might tip them off that you're a liberal. You'd have to laugh off the casual racism, sexism, homophobia that they weave into nearly every conversation.
I see through this because it's the type of people I grew up around. I'm telling you, they're not nice people, even if they seem like it to their friends and neighbors. Anybody can treat their own friends and in-groups with kindness. Even fascists and oligarchs help their own when given an opportunity. That doesn't make them good people.
