is it because its a juvenile term and its time to use the serious terms (harassment? sexual harassment? assault?) is it because most people stop getting bullied in high school and its something that happens almost exclusively to the neurodivergents? is it because were adutls and have other things to worry about? why are people this resistant to this. even in more progressive spaces ive been told to toughen up/move on? whats hapening

what??? a welfare state does NOT refer to welfare programs !!! a welfare state in the capitalist world (the context of your post) is often a social democracy which objectivly uses the resources from imperialism just with a different distribution !!! and now you came in my vent post about ableism to tell me that i misunderstood things and im ableist when youre the one that did !!

    I apologize if you are not against welfare programs, but when people talk about the "welfare state" they are indeed talking about those programs.

    An example, when reactionaries complain about the "welfare state" they are complaining about social assistance given to the poor and to those disabled and unemployed.
