This is where the dialogue is fucked up.

A disability isn't just another disadvantage. It can't all be made better by changing society.

You can make life a bit easier but you will never be able to bring these people quality of life and opportunity up to the standard of healthy people.

Sometimes, that's ok, but sometimes it's still too much suffering and we need to be able to talk about that.

No suffering can be as big as a woman who loses her children due to her own decisions. Its already hard on them when its not.

You need to get out into the world and actually interact with some severely mentally disabled children and adults.

You need to get out into the world and actually interact with severely mentallly disabled women who murdered their child.

Too bad your mother didn’t do the same to you.

I already have and doing so made me want to kill everybody who isn’t differently abled as punishment for all the war crimes they committed against everyone who is.

I put down animals, not people. Quality of life is just slogan pushed around by the media to justify eugenics, just like climate change is a convenient narrative to justify population control. The people who run society don’t want useless slaves to take up resources.

People suffer, but you work to reduce it, not kill them off. The way the world is structured and the values propagated by the entertainers and educators make you think that those who suffer should be killed rather than changing the things that cause them to suffer.

Very outside your home and go interact with severely mentally disabled people.

You can only releave some of their suffering, that's the fact you have to accept. Not addressing that is cruelty and causes more suffering.

What are you doing help these people?

I start by unaliving ableist bigots as a preemptive strike against terrorism.

People feel pain. But not all pain is suffering. Most of the suffering the disabled feel is because of the way "normal people" think.

By your logic we can end poverty by killing the poor too.

Animals are food. Human life is sacred, and anybody who thinks human life is disposable needs to be disposed of without even so much as a trial. This post is already a confession of guilt so all we need to do is carry out the sentence for advocating genocide of a protected class.
