   If you're on the Left and your worldview AND praxis don't involve the liberation of disabled people, you aren't on the Left.

   You're performative.

   Gross.

     @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @communism I've seen way too much performances of being on the left. My neighbors are the very definition. They have inclusive stickers everywhere and are nasty people IRL.

     @Dremmwel @axnxcamr @theautisticcoach @CStamp @actuallyautistic @communism None of you needed to "well actually" the OP, you know.

     Also, telling folks from *any* minority group they have to *do more* to end their oppression (eg, "How would we know about disability rights if disabled people don't tell us?") puts an undue burden on the folks being oppressed. Not to mention, oppressed folks are already explaining their oppression over and over again, it's not like there isn't a history of 100 years or more of disability activism.

     Yes, folks should listen to disabled people, and *part* of that listening doesn't include telling them how to speak about their experience.

     @axnxcamr @theautisticcoach @CStamp @actuallyautistic @communism and it's not only bc of autism (which isn't of help btw), but I think it's dangerous to let ppl assess one's needs to be a good leftist.
     No, to be a good leftist, you accept to be teached by others (disabled, non-white, whatever minority) and then you try your best to help or at least not to be an ennemy.
     Let disabled ppl speak in their own name! ;)

     @theautisticcoach

     I'm not sure that after being called stupid, @CStamp will be eager to listen...

     @axnxcamr @theautisticcoach @CStamp @actuallyautistic @communism
     "Why do you think it’s on disabled people to educate everyone?" Hmm well bc when you aren't disabled yourself, you may find difficult, at first glance, to know precisely what disabled ppl really need?
     It's like, idk, I'm white so yes, I know that I'm favoured compared to non-white ppl, but how would I have a full understanding of the difficulties of non-white ppl if nobody take the time to explain?

     @CStamp @actuallyautistic @communism why do you assume that we don’t inform? Why do you think it’s on disabled people to educate everyone? since when is ignorance excused?

     Asinine comments like this are exactly the issue. Rather than taking it defensively, perhaps listen to disabled people 🙏🏼

     @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @communism It could also be just not knowing better. People don't know until they know. So instead of demonizing, maybe inform?
