I’m so glad we all voted the Tories out in favour of the party that actually cares for working people. /s
What, you expect the same people who are abetting the starvation of children in Gaza to give a shit about their own citizens being “a bit peckish”?
Could always you know. Get a job like everyone else
Because people aren’t too disabled to work, or unable to find work because there are far more people looking for jobs than there are jobs available, or unable to find/pay for childcare, unable to afford the upfront costs needed to get a job like clothes/transport, or don’t have any qualifications as they were deprived in childhood, or a million other reasons why someone might not be working.
If you read even a single study you’d understand why that isn’t an option.

Sorry for catching you in the crossfire, but disabled people being less able to do things is in the name. Even if they think that an able person can “just get a job” it still follows that it wouldn’t be that easy for a disabled person, even before you get into the major logistical and discriminatory aspects many disabled people actually have to deal with.
∞ 🏳️⚧️Edie [it/its, she/her, fae/faer, love/loves, ze/hir, des/pair, none/use name, undecided]@hexbear.netEnglish3·1 month agoI fully agree. Though I think that doing a rug pull on asking someone to read and learn and, well, better themselves isn’t really funny or good.
Definitely understand that perspective, but I’d say it doesn’t really apply in a context like this; you can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t use reason to reach in the first place. They didn’t come here intending any level of intellectual honesty, they were just here to abuse a disabled comrade, so even if there was study they’d only read it to find reasons to invalidate it. I definitely agree that if they intended to learn and better themselves it would be a dick move, but that wasn’t the case here.
