re: "why are 'good-minded people' ableist as fuck, even in 2019?" 

@stackingstones@todon.nl Disabled people are an Inconvenience and throw a wrench in my capatalist worldview that Everyone Can, and Should be fiscally self-sufficient and independent.

Or put more simply: People who are Different make it hard to just Auto-Pilot thru life. Many people feel entitled to a life where everyone is like Them.

It's Conformism. And they get Nasty when it's just Not Possible to conform.

Actually, this sounds like a Disability! An inability to Empathize with other humans and treat them as People, not Things.

Oh, wait, we know what that one's called.
