I am autistic and I have seen this going around even shared by parents of my disbabled friends on both sides of the Ailse:
While I don’t think people intend to do this or be scary
We don’t intend to step on feet and cause pain nor to bump into eachother but we still say sorry.
Joe Biden has a stuttering disorder he went through therapy for just for people and (ive seen disabled people)say he had Dementia there are valid critiques of him and ones that are just awful. This is awful. Not to mention implication that those in our community in wheelchair are expendable.
Sharing this is Abelism and suggests those with physical disabilities ,those with invisible disabilities assumed to have higher support needs,those with higher support needs and those with dementia and memory disorders should be pushed off a cliff and killed.
Just like people keep trying to say we we should “sacrifice the weak and reopen.”

This image makes me sick, it makes me feel afraid, I am wondering if this means people believe those in my community are expendable and something to sacrifice
It makes me wonder with the guns and threats if they will actually choose to “sacrifice.” The sick and the disabled to reopen with guns or otherwise.
Especially if There is another American civil war ...
It may seem funny but it isn’t if you are asking yourself to what extent is it a joke and to what extent those with crueler beliefs will take it as a call to action.
Even if it’s not you as a liberal who still doesn’t like Biden or a full Trump supporter You can’t deny there are people out there who carry Nazi flags to support Trump
A flag used to kill 130,000 of us (Disabled people.) In the Holocaust at a minimum estimate (That we know of or who were passing as ablebodied.) and the confederate flag which is used as an alternate Nazi symbol in Europe
The people who carry those flags and guns scare me because
how thin is the line between
“defending the second amendment.” To “defending themselves against those who cirque faccism.”
How thin is the line between
To categorizing us as who in are community is deemed by classification “intelligent.” Enough to live and have quality of life
As an autistic my life expectancy already ends at 36 I am middle aged at 22! How much of our life do me and those in my community need to get stolen living in fear of being scared of put into asylums and having our rights taken away when we only got the right to vote in 1990 (and still don’t have it in some places.) or deemed again not to have quality of life?
How thin is the line between
“owning the libs.” And them “believing they literally own other people via slavery.”
This shit isn’t harmless and Again I don’t want to be killed or bury my friends who are deemed by others as sacrificial
I love the people in my life Even the ones people with Nazi and confederate flags want to “run over for protesting” or “sacrifice.”
I don’t want people with extreme views to take Abelist stuff as a call to action or violence.
People oppressed by race,sexuality, religion, ability or whatever on both sides of the aisle don’t need to feel in YOUR civil war the only thing people can agree on is how little value our lives have compared to yes your opinion on wether or not we should be able to have rights or exist or quality of life or if we are “those people.”
DEMOCRATS ,REPUBLICANS,LIBERALS,CONSERVATIVES,
Just because we don’t intend to be harmful doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful. I have dont stuff I didn’t realize has caused harm to it’s ok to stop to change your thoughts to own up and say I’m sorry.
I don’t want to see people waving Nazi flags
confederate flag because that is violence. “But the confederate flag respects our vets.”
It sure as hell doesn’t respect BIPOC service members and you know damn well why.
It also doesn’t respect world war 2 vets who FOUGHT AND DIED f to keep Nazism out of America when that flag is used as an alternate Nazi symbol as Nazis used it for inspiration but thought confederates had gone to far.
And to protect thier families which those flags now oppress and harm.
Dont laugh at and share things like this because it can be interpreted as a call to action by those with extreme views and I AM BEGGING FOR MY FRIENDS AND I NOT TO BE KILLED
Stop Calling eachother retarded and using libtard dotard Qtard whatever to eachother as RETARDED WAS A WORD USED TO KILL AND IS THE LAST WORD MANY PEOPLE HEARD AS THEY WERE MURDERED IN ASYLUMS, IN WITCHTRIALS, IN THE HOLOCAUST, IN almost every genocide the disabled are sacrificed and rounded up first! So much so it’s a warning sign!
Murdered by those who are supposed to protect them by resource officers who are not trained and don’t understand nonverbal behaviors interpreted as violent are often a desperate cry for help from somebody having trouble communicating it (going nonverbal) or someone literally cannot speak. People who die for it and for being odd and suspicious and deemed as “Mass shooters.” And “Mentally ill killers.”
Every time we use disability and mental illness as a tool for colonialism homophobia and racial oppression.
Even using disability and intelligence to Devalue leaders or governments
They are not unintelligent and that is the problem they are often willfully and severely ignorant because they hate those they marginalize more than they love their own survival
Don’t compare these people to disabled and mentally Ill people who THEY ALSO HATE US
TO THE POINT THEY ADVOCATE SACRIFICING US TO REOPEN AND USE US TO OPPRESS OTHERS
IM BEGGING YOU STOP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP
Asylums here shut down only in 1996 most of my disabled and mentally ok elders who lived there DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WAS THAT TRAUMATIC BUT NOW THEY ARE FREE THEY ARE SUBJECTED TO THIS AS A JOKE ??
Those who even understand this is about our lives having no value...
Pleae just stop I don’t want people with Extreme views to take this as a call to action
I don’t want to bury my friends
