   Im confused why, according to nondisabled leftists, we're supposed to show kinds of empathy and patience to people participating in (wilful ignorance of) the covid eugenics program out of fear trauma avoidance etc, that those same people never insist we extend to any other kind of reactionary or liberal. What could it mean?

     If you are aware that the correct prognosis for someone whose fear of housing scarcity leads them to anti migration attitudes is a bat to the face, I am confused why you are applying a different logic to people who have covid trauma leading them into anti-crip attitudes. Could it be that you don't think about disabled people outside of the frame of pity/charity (where we get only what scraps you are comfortable giving us, where you remain in control of what you do for us)? Who can say

     if you know your trauma is making you act in bigoted, eugenicist, genocidal, dehumanising ways (or if you actively shut down people trying to bring you to this knowledge), choosing not to act on that is a fascistic decision and selecting which fascists get a hug/patient talking to and which get the bat shouldn't come down to whether they're your friend/comrade, you like them, you hold the same privilege as them... It should come down to the most effective way to stop them acting like a goddamn fascist. And for fuck sake stop trying to get cripples to empathise with the people who are the reason we CANNOT EXIST IN PUBLIC OR TOUCH OUR LOVED ONES RIGHT NOW
