Tags from @cranialgames “the only part I personally care about is that he will recieve the highest level of care of any single person in this country and not pay a single fucking penny for it when the rest of us can’t afford to heat our homes and feed our kids.”
Yes. Absolutely. I’m already seething with rage over that and the total injustice of it all.
I have zero regard or sympathy for him, and so much anger at the system that perpetuates his and his family’s existence.
He could get struck by lightning tomorrow and I’d light a celbratory cigarette off the ashes.
I’m just trying to gently nudge people to rethink their choice of language around illness because as a chronically ill and disabled person with lots of friends who have or have had cancer, is it not fun to suddenly wonder if the people who you thought were your friends secretly think you did something to deserve your suffering.
Like it's okay if your knee jerk reaction was “oh good he’ll be gone soon” (I did it too) I’m just asking people to reframe illness in their minds and remove the morality from it.
Christian idealogy about deserved suffering with regards to health is the reason so many of us die neglected and in agony.
Charles with all his ill-gotten money will not face that. He’ll have round-the-clock care and someone to push a boatload of morphine into him when the time comes. Be angry about that, by all means be furious. I am.
Just don't throw other, more vulnerable people under the bus of your ire with him.
