all this to say, this is why I have very little patience for people who just throw their hands up and say “well [country] is fucked, there is no saving it, you might as well just leave” its just selfishly pessimistic, and often comes from a place of having the privilege TO leave. things CAN be better, and if you truly want to be an ally to marginalized communities, you must do what you can to make it better.

i was talkin with some europeans about their healthcare and i realized like, even if i had the means to immigrate, i most likely would not be allowed to in most countries as a single person because I am disabled. This is another major aspect of ableism I don't see talked about often, the way immigration systems across the globe are designed to keep disabled people (who would be 'burdens' on the welfare system) out.
