Obviously this is not a big deal but it does irk me sometimes when people include ableism alongside the other isms or when they say shit along the lines of "as a disabled queer POC". The logic being whatever aspect of your identity "disadvantages" you the harder you have it and the more righteous you are. It really is straight intersectional bullshit and trivializes the fact that race and gender are all things that are violently enforced to maintain the political rule of capitalism. It is true that disabled people suffer disproportionately under capitalism, especially under the pretext that all humans must work to produce value for profit, but hell capitalism fucks over all kinds of people. At the end of the day its just not a special form of oppression that deserves the same level of attention as forms of oppression literally centrally to capitalism. The reason questionable languages like this takes hold is because there is a plethora of liberal or straight up reactionary theoreticians the likes of Slavoj Zizek and Judith Butler that dominates the intellectual sphere and the revolutionary kernel of Marxism completely buried under paragraphs after paragraphs of indecipherable bullshit made up so some humanities professor can keep their pathetic job.
This is literally the "oppression olympics" shit that right-wingers spew.
Come on.

We did, and without further explanation from you this reads like class reductionist bullshit.
so you think disabled people face the same kind of oppression that queer and people of color face? Gender oppression has been around since the inception of class society, the subjugation of races, their exploitation and expropriation created the bulk of capitalist wealth, what is the significance of the oppression that disabled people face historically? It is not something that gets to stand on equal footing with the other two, and quit throwing stupid names at me
Is this some sort of weird bit I'm not getting?
Disabled babies were literally killed at birth not too long ago, then we "progressed" to locking them up in institutions, and where we are now capitalists are doing their best to ensure that tHe gUbMinT can't force them to even do something as basic as making their businesses wheelchair accessible.
The level of ignorance you're displaying here is fucking astounding.
what? They die or get killed off in the background of arguments like this.
Why are you so opposed to the liberation of disabled people, or at the very least opposed to their inclusion in our own struggle? What purpose does this serve?
The intellectually disabled being sterilized and executed is, like, how the whole Holocaust idea came about
Explaining to a guy in a wheelchair that his is unable to use the non-ADA complaint restroom for reasons that are totally different than the poc or LGBT person legally bared from its use.
Therefore, the material constraint doesn't matter.
I did.
