Bait
No, it's just ableism.
Even if it's ableist bait, this is bait.
Possibly true, but that doesn't make it any less ableist (not that you're saying it does). I anything, it makes it more ableist. If it's just bait then the goal is purely to offend disabled people.
I don't think they are saying it for any sort of ableist reason, they are just making fun of Discourse. For example, you sometimes see radlibs say "actually some disabled people had no choice but to keep slaves" and things like that. The point is to make fun of tokenizing lib idpol rhetoric.
At least, I'm pretty sure . . .

They’ll be disabled when I’m done with them.
I disagree strongly with this comment. Explanation inside the spoiler.
Why would you allow slave owners to live? 
They don't deserve a quick death. Make them pay for what they've done.
god damn it this one gets me good every time
They don't deserve a quick death. Make them pay for what they've done.
I didn't really want to get into it in this thread, so I responded to the initial comment with a light-hearted joke about killing slave owners (well, it's a joke but slave owners did deserve to be killed of course). However, the underlying implication in that comment (and also in yours I think) that living with disability is a fate worse than death did bother me and does IMO express a very normalized form of ableism.
I want to make sure to be 100% clear that I am not accusing you or @deforestgump@hexbear.net of being malicious here. As I said, this notion is normalized and structurally integrated into most societies today. I just wanted to make this comment because I felt that it was important to point out. Disability isn't a punishment that's greater than death (and the idea that it is has been used to enable genocide - though again, I don't mean to accuse you of this of course). Disabled people are still alive and their lives have equal worth to those of people who have no disabilities (although it's more proper to say no disabilities so far, since many disabled people are disabled by circumstance and not birth).
I love that image by the way, it gets me every time.

Would be really nice if everyone could just shut the fuck up for like 30 minutes or something
Just like half an hour, please, I beg you
Twitter created the worst fucking culture of saying this type of thing with the original character limit.

Someone said that "guy with tourettes loudly shouts the n word at black actors at an award show" could be a standardized test question for Woke 2 and I thought that was funny.
Anyway, as someone with Tourette's (not as bad as this guy but still,) I know that you can't control it but I also sympatize with the actors who were (unintentionally) greviously insulted during what should have been a proud moment for them. I think if anyone was in the wrong, it'd be the BBC for not cutting it (it wasn't even a live broadcast and they cut other shit including "Free Palestine," they thought this was more appropriate than that)
Having Tourette’s is not equatable with owning slaves but I missed any previous struggle sessions on this so go off folks

this shit is driving me mad, why is everyone arguing about the guy with torrettes instead of banding together to tar and teather the person(s) responsible for this thing not getting censored?
you hate to see the divide and conquer shit working so thoroughly

Kind of surprised that the website that just had a discussion on if words like "see" were ableist would have a struggle session about this.
I'm not dismissing the importance of speech, but it is easier to engage with the concept of ableist speech/wording than with a lot of other, more difficult aspects of ableism.
I think this is a good post! People of color are often given the bill for accommodating white disabled people.
Of course crackers here are twisting themselves in a knot about Black people being rightly pissed off about blatent racism and ludicrous accustions of ableism
Also it's a just simple statement of historical fact, a disproportionate number of slaveowners were indeed disabled, it's almost like the existence of disability doesn't negate the impact of racial abuse hmmm

Of course it doesn't.

Come on, we all know that "simple statements of fact" that disparage marginalized people without context are not actually morally and ethically neutral "simple statements of fact". This logic is reductive and it harms not only disabled people but all other marginalized people as well.
