why is it so hard for ableists to accept that there is no support network for those that are not well liked, that resources are withheld or deemed nonexistent if they are considered unpleasant or rude or just unlikeable, and that fact legitimately results in peoples deaths

#this is about a lot of things from physical ableism to mental ableism #until ubi is implemented there is no support network for ppl who don't get along well with others or are socially unpleasant or who cannot #access services without relying on someone else. because Someone Else's good graces always run out eventually #there's countless homeless people from my hometown who die every winter because they're not well liked enough to be allowed to stay at a #shelter becaus 'their personality clashes with others' or the manager doesn't think they're sufficiently grateful #there's plenty of people that kill themselves bc they have no one in their lives (and I swear I'm this fucking close lmao)#like. not being well liked isn't just a playground childish oh no my feelings are hurt thing #when peoples opinions about others are allowed to control the access to resources in any way it's gonna be used in ways it shouldn't #or even in ways that the system encourages #and of course this extends to White Feelings and how that interacts with the system as a whole in keeping brown people away from resources #idk I'm just tired why do ableists think it doesn't matter of course it matters #as always these types of posts are a mess and I consider them more vent posts than like. coherent put together These Are My Thoughts On It
