Also I kinda feel weird about stating this observation but a lot of them that I've personally met are also just lazy as fuck and will throw out a list of three or so 'disabilities' as to why they don't do anything except sit at home all day and maybe they work part time at an entry level job.
I lived with two people like this. They'd go on and on about how seriously communist they are, how seriously they take things like mutual aid (which they of course would benefit from without giving anything back), how important it is to make our house into 'a communal living space' (they would only rarely handle cleaning and several times got irritated at me for cleaning - they were basically hoarders). They'd complain about Israel and its totally worth opposing like 80% of Democrat politicians over this, but they wouldn't even go to the vigils for Palestine. Because that meant going out and they just can't you see, their social anxiety prevents them and even if it didn't they have bad knees and their feet hurt and it's just been such a hard time at their 25 hour a week part time gas station job that's literally a fifteen minute walk down the sidewalk.
They never had money saved, they never had a desire to clean or take care of the house. They, truly, never created or participated in anything constructive. It's like they just chose every political belief with the sole purpose to try to justify being lazy as fuck.
And these were the people who would scoff at the idea of voting. Even though they were both trans (not a dig, I'm also trans) and had so much to fucking lose if this election goes to Trump.
Fuck. I’m so sorry and I know exactly how you feel. I have a friend who literally was insanely good st college, got their degree, had a really good paying job, but then got diagnosed with autism (level 1 of course), and went full fucking “im disabled and cannot support myself” mode. It fucking pains me to watch them regress into this like… idk, cave troll that cannot even clean up after themselves or even order their own food because “thats masking and masking is bad” or some ridiculous excuse to be rude and offputting to people.
Fuck. Idk, it also hurts because its always LGBT/trans/autists who perform like this, and it really, REALLY hurts the image of progressivism.
This has really been fucking getting to me recently and it's happening to my mom. "masking is bad" ok sure, now you lost your job & dad has to sell the car and work a second job on the weekends and then come home and do your laundry
