    Disabled people are literally paid just to be alive.

    Trying to paint reality as a hellish dystopia only works if you say true things.

          I’m referring to your comment about disabled people. I can’t imagine being such a piece of shit that I can’t see the value of anyone beyond what money they can bring in through physical labor. What a way to view the world.

              Your comment “Disabled people are literally paid to be alive” heavily implies that you view disabled people as though they have no value at all, and are nothing but a drain on society. If I’ve misunderstood, please feel free to explain.

                Here’s how the conversation went:

                • person mentions having a disability

                • second person chimes in with “society has determined the disabled are useless and we do not care about you”

                • I say “that’s not true. We pay disabled people to live.”

                • you say “you’re a monster who doesn’t think disabled people have value”

                • I get very confused
