    some disabled people just cant work and thats that. disabled people shouldnt have to work if they cant. this type of thinking contributed to what allowed nazi germany to gas disabled kids.

      I would honestly rather be gassed than starved and impoverished to death, at least it would be quicker. So in a way the British government treat the disabled even worse than the nazis did, gaslighting us the whole time by pretending there’s a great social support system and we are all taken care of.

        As someone disabled myself, I fear this is a sentiment shared by those in seige socialist states because of the necessity to develop in the face of hostile entities. If that is actually the case, and I’ve heard ableism from China, then the west is even worse for spreading conditions that give rise to ableism.
