      Arthur Chu Retweeted The Lemurian

      Oh yeah bigotry of all kinds is everywhere but ableism in particular is openly defended all over the political map A lot of people have very strong feelings about what responsibilities we expect from people as a society and then get super pissy when people "make excuses" over ithttps://twitter.com/johnnylemuria/status/1220377087992909824 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      The Lemurian @johnnylemuria
      Replying to @arthur_affect
      As a libertarian, I used to feel bad that our principles didn't confront ableism as much as they should. Obviously we still need to do better, but it's darkly comforting that most people are terrible on the subject, not just us.

      Like the whole drama over plastic straw bans, and how plastic straws don't actually matter very much to pollution/global warming but matter a lot to some people's daily lives And how outraged people get that disabled people are an obstacle to doing "one small thing"

      Both the Left and the Right draw on images of shared sacrifice to rally the troops They both like to use images of "laziness" and "selfishness" to attack the enemy They both naturally fall into ableist narratives by making ability into a moral issue

      The environmentalist left is guilty of this as hell - "Why can't you just walk and bike everywhere", "Why do you need so much A/C and heat", "The human race should get back to living off the land" But you can come back there from any direction

      The Online Marxist Left is really, really bad about proles vs lumpen, the deserving vs undeserving poor "*I* deserve better because I'm an ablebodied hardworking man It is unjust to lump me in with these shiftless lazy assholes lying on the couch all day"

      Anyway I got in an argument once with an Aimee Terese fan defending her bullshit about how the Left needs "right-wing values" like discipline and honor and sacrifice to succeed, "You can't win a war without an army" And I of course told him to go to hell

      It was specifically the point at which every real life leftist revolution decided that because they needed to win a war they needed to become an army that they *stopped being leftist* "The individual must be sacrificed for the greater good" is the seed of ALL RIGHT WING VALUES

          His whole thing was defending the movie 300, saying that even though the movie was bad and racist if you don't have the core values the movie tries to teach of steadfastness and shared sacrifice And I said fine, let's ignore the racism The traitor Ephialtes is still my hero

          Ephialtes did nothing wrong and if I existed in the world of the movie I would be him Sacrifice yourself for whatever values you want but if your values demand *I* be sacrificed I will gladly snitch on you to the feds and watch your movement burn

          This is how I feel about the science fiction classic The Cold Equations The moment the cold equations said the girl needed to be thrown out the airlock she should've grabbed the controls and taken the whole ship down with her She should've aimed for the whole colony on the way

          I rooted for the kids at the end of Cabin on the Woods, sitting on their asses and smoking pot as the world collapses and the human race is destroyed The correct ending of Life is Strange is saving Chloe and letting the storm flood the town and kill everyone

          People who get off on trolley problems and on narratives of sacrifice have no understanding of what it's like to always be in the category that automatically gets sacrificed To *constantly* be asked to think of a greater good that *never* includes you
