I hate on the internet when someone will point out ableism and all the comments are like "The ableist has a point though!"

I'm not going to name specific places in the internet because of this subs brigading rules, but I want to be evil about people enabling the most vile ableist bullying disguised as 'advice'

A post will be something like "I have multiple severe disabilities and this person called me lazy and told me to pull myself up by the bootstraps or die. Isn't that messed up?" And the comments will be full of people saying things like "Umm actually they have a point"

Just the amount of out of touch dismissal of peoples disabilities and the societal abandonment of people doing it tough boils my blood. It's so cruel. How can people be so cruel to people at their most vulnerable? How could anyone stomach saying with a straight face "You're all alone, and that's on you." I just can't fathom that kind of lack of empathy. It makes my stomach sick.

No, the ableist pretending disabilities aren't disabling and blaming the victim for the lack of support from others doesn't have a point! Have a heart, people! Stop giving disabled people 'advice' that will only make them feel more alone and depressed!

I'm so tired. I want to cry. I make so many accomodations for the neurotypicals in my life, but the moment I (the disabled person) ask for the mildest of consideration I get hit with the "that's life, find a way to cope" card. There is only so much I can do. I'm exsausted.
