    I'm so jealous of the people complaining about their lib parents on here. I'd be so happy if my parents were libs instead of reactionaries who still think Trump won the election.


  • Because internet never goes down right? And everyone's computers work 100% of the time with no failing parts or technical difficulties whatsoever. And being sick does nothing to impair your capacity to learn or participate in a class right? What do you mean "bed rest is good for immune system health"? Sounds fake.




  • It's meaningless because my original point was that modern society lets tons of people live that otherwise would not, and to say that civilization was better before without acknowledging that comes off as unironic anprim "return to monkey and let natural selection sort out the weak" bullshit. Even if that's not what you meant, you can't just hand-wave everything away as "disabled people are mostly the result of modern society anyway".


  • It's fine. It's just that this unironic "people were better off before modern society" take pisses me off because it's privileged bullshit that doesn't apply to tons of people. And then to have people respond with "well ackshually disabled people are only disabled because of modern society too" with only minimal evidence to back that up, or implying its the fault of people's poor diets when there's no evidence for that in the case of type one diabetics, comes off as condescending. Normally I'd just downvote and move on but since downvoting is disabled I have to actually yell at people I disagree with now.







  • Type one dietes exists in every country regardless of its level of civilization. It even exists in wild animals. There's some evidence that it might be exasperated by some aspect of modern civilization due to the higher rate of people with type one diabetes in "first world" countries, but you can't say with any certainty whether or not I would still have it in a different time period. You're basically saying:

    well actchully you maybe might not have had it before civilization because... uhh.... makes vague hand gestures and trails off
