at the root of it, to excuse capitalism you already have to accept the premise a person’s value is their productivity. those who can’t provide it are useless, so why should we give them the means to survive? – this is where a lot of it starts and ends, and a lot of these people just out of hand even reject the idea of any social security net for people who cannot pay it back or ‘produce value’

then even if you are a lib who believes in social security, there is often already the cultural perception of ‘welfare’ beneficiaries who don’t actually have need for these social programs, or mooches.

The answer is simple:

The proletariat and the other classes are not seen as humans by the bourgeoisie, but another means of production. So they’ll be more than happy to throw out the broken tools to be replaced.

Unfortunately, we have too many class traitors who embrace the propaganda. Even this tread have one.

a life of indoctrination about “bootstraps” and the need to “fight for your survival as g-d intended” and the mind virus of “social darwinism” make some people to believe that disabled people are something that shouldn’t exist, because the reasoning probably is something like:

“if you can’t even work as a common human that uses its own limbs to keep ahead, you’re a failure as living being, and god doesn’t make mistakes, so you’re some evolutionary anomaly / devil invention that needs to be removed, because “wasting” resources in you is even probably a sin, you can find something in the bible giving testimony against your existence”

is probably something on those lines: a mix of “someone that even can’t reach its bootstraps doesn’t even deserve to live” and pseudoscience trying to assimilate us as animals that just kill the “defective” babies for efficiency and proper resource allocation (and because gibs are a sin against the economy)

This is a worse phenomenon than any of us realize. There are tiers even among the disabled as to which disorders are palatable. I guarantee way too many of us believe hollywood bullshit or otherwise about the likes of BPD, ASPD, NPD, paraphilic disorders, or spout casual bigotry regarding them.

Because these dipshits judge a human being’s worth by their ability to do labor. To them, if they can’t produce value via labor, they are not worth keeping alive.

because all post holocaust resources went to colonizing palestine.

i had a holocaust education class in high school. we happened to have a special education class next to us. whenever we heard noises from the class near (god forbid a bunch of disabled kids dont stay completely still for 8 hours a day) our teacher wouldnt hesitate to stop and comment and use slurs and berate the kids. when we were literally learning about the dangers of degrading people and seeing them as only obstacles in utility.

reddit is a truly awful place

if we must choose i’d put the redditors and their billionaire pedophile masters into the camp instead and give their houses to the disabled

There’s a sentiment, especially in the Mediterranean where I live, where people think a lot of people are on disability benefits but are just cheating the system. Which might be true for certain cases, but is not the rule.

From my work I know it’s really easy to be certified for disability when it doesn’t involve anyone paying anything to anybody (e.g. parking permits, access to special passageways/elevators/toilets, easements on school tests/exams, etc). Because the logic there is, it’s better to be wrong than to make somebody’s life worse. But here is where a lot of people actually do take advantage maliciously. For example, recently there was a scandal where the majority of students who got 100% in the final exams (determining entry into university) where students allowed extra time due to learning difficulties. And other students were complaining about the unfairness of this system.

These instances are twisted by neoliberal politicians and then extrapolated to financial safeties (don’t call them benefits, it makes it sound like a privilege) given to disabled people. Where, again from my work, I know that it’s actually extremely difficult to be approved for. The process requires up to a year and involves multiple panels of doctors, medical/psych evaluations and several hoops that you need to jump through every few years. Plus a pretty incompetent and ridiculous bureaucracy.

This false perception is nothing more than a form of propaganda, aiming to cut social welfare programs in favour of financing capital.

Considering how nazified the world is getting it won’t be long before we’re being rounded up and herded to our deaths.

Yep. That’s exactly what the ruling class is planning to do, and with the help of the high salaried workers too. It’s so frustrating to hear communists say that the high salaried workers are proletarians and therefore part of our movement. Reddit is filled with skilled workers who are “middle/upper class” and what these people detest above all else are the people who need social assistance. They view us as “life unworthy of life.”

Just seen a reddit thread

Bots, losers and actual children who are not representative of the average person. Most people know someone with at least a mild disability.
