#if you're advocating for treating us as badly as our current hellscape why should we believe you that your world would be any better?

If your supposedly radical plans for what you're claiming will be a more progressive, fair, egalitarian future just so happen to accidentally involve the deaths of a fuck ton of extremely vulnerable folks, like all the disabled, chronically ill, mentally ill, and homeless people who don't fit your ideals of what a "real" or "good" or "deserving" vulnerable person look like, then I deeply and fundamentally do not trust you to be leading any kind of glorious revolution, bloodless or otherwise.
You've either already decided that we are acceptable collateral damage, or haven't thought through even the basics of how to run a society in a not horribly evil way. Objecting to such poorly designed plans doesn't make us bad progressives, or alt-right trolls, or too picky, or too sensitive. Pointing out that, without heavy changes, your plan will get a lot of us killed does not make us unreasonable, and does not mean we're reading too much into things, or even taking things too seriously, for fucks sake.
It is not unreasonable for us to ask that your plans not include accidental eugenics. It is not unreasonable for us to point out that groups that demand that we "wait our turn" and refuse to even consider making plans that include our survival until they're "closer to the finish line" tend to be groups that use and discard us at best.
It is not unreasonable for us to refuse to support groups and ideologies and plans that see some of the most vulnerable marginalized folks as acceptable collateral damage.
