And the fact that you keep invoking it ("He was being FORCED to let that dirty dog into HIS CAR! His OWN PERSONAL CAR! The car that he OWNS as his PROPERTY") means you don't have the standing to talk down to other people as "radlibs" you think you do

People may have a "right" to their passive "well-meaning" bigotries based on falsehoods ("Service dogs stink up the place", "A gay man might leave AIDS on my toilet seat", "A woman in the office? That'll attract bears!") but every little choice where they act on them is a harm

All the little stuff adds up into big stuff and ends up materially excluding a member of that group from society "Service dogs can't ride in my car", if everyone thinks so, makes life ENORMOUSLY harder for people already struggling to avoid an IMAGINARY COST

And yeah, I guess I'm a radlib because I think in the world as it currently exists we have a positive responsibility to at least try to be decent instead of arguing no worker is responsible for anything until the revolution comes

I don't think it's reasonable to ask disabled people to wait until we have full communism and the state can pay highly trained professionals to treat them like people instead of making us poor working stiffs do it Fine But don't call your stance solidarity

It's identity politics, it's solidarity with workers you can put yourself in the shoes of and defining people you can't as nonworkers, lumpen You haven't once acknowledged that the disabled person in this conservation IS A WORKER and ableism materially affects HER livelihood

Don't think I haven't caught the repeated references to her using Uber to "beg for a ride" (as opposed to purchasing a ride, like any other customer, that she is entitled to) or "begging for donations" on Patreon (as opposed to seeing compensated for her labor through Patreon)

No The situation is that she DID get an accessible ride and the driver didn't let her onto it That is literally the situation, it is a situation 100% caused by the driver, the argument that Uber should've done something else by sending a driver willing to take her is shit

There was no burden placed on the driver by her that he didn't already have from driving for Uber at all The idea that his situation was sympathetic or understandable is utter garbage Uber's business model is shit because it let him onto it at all in the first place
