  • You seem to think having mobility issues is an all or nothing, can’t-move-at-all or you can run around at will thing. I swear to fuck, people like you are the goddamn problem.

    Grow up and figure out the reality of the world. Then get back to me. I am not going to live somewhere where I have to walk a path, pull myself onto a bus with tons of other people, cram myself into a seat, ride where I need to go, get what I need, CARRY THOSE THINGS BACK DOWN TO THE BUS AND GET ON THE BUS WITH THOSE THINGS, AND THEN GET OFF AND WALK BACK HOME ALSO WITH THOSE THINGS. Hell, even if I was healthy, that’s a pain in the ass.

    Do you not understand such fucking simple things? Maybe you need to take the time to think about them. Don’t reply to me for a couple of days. Look at people who have mobility issues that don’t look that bad. See people getting out of their cars in the mobility parking that just snap up right out of their cars and walk seemingly without issue to the place they’re going? Hint: most people who do that are not faking a disability. Disability can manifest itself in many ways, and it doesn’t take much beyond simply walking down the street or living alone and being able to do enough basic tasks to get by safely to run into their actual problems.

    Grow up, shut up, think, and get back to me. If this was any other goddamn condition, you’d be ostracized from society for being so goddamn hateful, but for some reason, ableism isn’t a real enough thing to people for them to be angry, and it absolutely should be as someone who does have some serious mobility issues.



  • No, you want a world without cars. That is your stated goal. You backtracking is you trying to take a more neutral position than your original one, which is “cars bad, everyone walk/use public transportation”. That’s ableist, hateful, and impractical for a ton of people, including people who don’t have mobility issues for so many damn reasons, including transporting goods, weather, going places as a family, having a shelter for not only the weather but for anything else, and going directly to and from one’s destination. Cars are the primary way of transport and nothing you and your anti-car buddies say are going to change it. You’re like vegans and religious people arguing against common sense and logic and reason; you are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

    Wake up and accept modern life and our necessities.

    Fuck “fuck cars”. There’s your “unproductive language”, which is, you know, just language. Being vulgar isn’t unproductive, it has its reasons to exist. Which, in this case, to in no certain terms damn your entire worldview.
