this guy is right and the downvotes are insane. You don't always know what's going on. All they are asking is that maybe you don't judge people so harshly when you don't understand their situation. Jesus christ.

"No, I refuse! The world is perfect and you should have had a nurse or aide that you could totally afford help you out if it's such a challenge for you! You were able to run the first half of the mile! Why can't you finish it out?"

Ableist slime.

The ironing of assuming the worst, that someone is ableist before using dehumanising language by referring to people as slime. Cant beat it. Dude was temporarily injured anyway.

Every person ever has an excuse to ditch trollies of varying validity. No one would ever answer “because I’m a lazy, inconsiderate arsehole” if asked why they left it. Which can easily explain people assuming he’s one of said people and the downvotes. As someone who’s disabled would say “Im disabled” or something to that effect, not “I hurt my knee”. Much more likely than they hold the physically disabled to the same standard or are assuming “everyone who’s disabled should have an aide”. Get a grip.

Ableists are subhuman slime.

Not ironic, morally consistent. There is no paradox of tolerance.

Having a temporary injury still affects ability.

Crazy to expect people with difficulty moving to move more for your sake.

If they are assuming "everyone who's disabled should have an aide", well, first off they're strictly wrong. And secondly? They shouldn't be making assumptions? Ever heard that saying?

I didn't make assumptions. I saw someone make ableist statements. I called them ableist. They can retract their ableism at their discretion.

Get a grip. And maybe a more thoughtful argument steeped in logic and rational objectivity.

But is not disabled, by definition and therefore calling people criticising them ableist, is incorrect. Let’s try to keep this based in logic and rational objectivity.

The point that sailed over your head in your further attempt to do what passes as virtue signal by your metric, is that you’re engaging in the same behaviour you’re criticising. Judging people without attempting to understand, hence my attempt to explain they likely are not, as you accuse “assuming all disabled should have aides”. While providing potential reason for why the initial comment was downvoted. Ableism while morally bankrupt and disgusting behaviour doesn’t warrant referring to people as “subhuman slime”.
