1/ "Ableism" is problematic, in the correct sense: difficult to formulate, complex, cuts up reality awkwardly.https://twitter.com/drethelin/status/615998461855412224 …

6/ There are islands of that among the disabled, eg deaf culture, but it's not the norm, particularly for the worst off.
-
7/ The psychiatric survivors movement never took off, for obv. reasons. I find crazy people difficult to be around, and I'm nuts.
-
8/ To sum up: ableism is important, in part exactly because it's difficult to formulate in terms of identity.

@puellavulnerata True. And ethnic groups have family and cultural bonds. Point is that recognizability indicates a form of counterprivilege. -
@puellavulnerata The worst off are the least visible, because they're denied community and identification along with other things. -
@puellavulnerata (Invisibility can be a tactical advantage when a pogrom is on, ofc. But even the Nazis went after the disabled first.) - 1 more reply

@St_Rev Schneier talks about this. One tactic of folk who "defect" from society is to form their own social groups with which they cooperate -
@drethelin And the disabled generally don't have the resources or control of their environment to do that. -
@St_Rev yeah. It's also wrong to frame it as defection, since he was originally talking about criminal gangs.
