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

im gonna give you some credit because you joined 3 days ago but when i think of welfare state i think of a social democracy that still exploits the global south for resources. im gonna misinterpret u just as bad you did me. do disabled people in africa and western asia deserve to die? because they do, where do you think the funding for the welfare states come from if not from those nations? people in these nations have no energy to care for the disabled after being exploited for resources and endless western backed coups. did the mamdani thing set you off ? genuinely because youre my comrade and i want to understand

    I am aware that imperialism funds those programs. Imperialism also funds the high salary of doctors, lawyers, or software engineers etc, and it basically assists everyone in all imperial nations in this way. Of course, I am against exploitation of the Global South. The point however is to eliminate this exploitation and keeping these programs that assists those that are disabled and unemployed.

    I am on welfare and disabled. Every day i fear that the fascists will kick down my door and kill me. Where i live, the fascists are setting up people like me as a scapegoat and i just cant allow that to happen..

    What's the point of your comment?

    And I defend my rights outside lemmygrad/the internet as well. You claim that this is my "method of self defense and resistance against the fascists" as if it is the only I use.
