I have no idea how some of you guys are able to get super into politics & reading about communist stuff because accessibility wise??? it's been a nightmare for me

#that brain damage + dyslexia combo is kicking my ass #reading in general is uh...not easy but ESPECIALLY not big walls of text #i know its generally frowned upon for some reason but i actually like when things are explained in the simplest way possible #like explain it to me like i'm a kindergartner who doesnt know shit about anything. big word stressful #and i have little to no faith in able bodied leftists to look out for the wellbeing of disabled people #i genuinely like discussing this stuff like communism is actually interesting to me #but i have yet to hear a response from someone when discussing disability that isnt either very vague or dismissive #like yes of course we'd only be doing what we're *able* to do in terms of work #i know I would be able to if there were more accessible options #however that wont be the case for everyone #and if ''work'' would be different from how it is now - how?#what would that look like? and when you say people would be taken care of is it just like the bare minimum? or something better?#for some reason some folks get defensive but like its a genuine question man #not all disabled people are the same - some can do far less than i can and i more than likely will never be able to hold a traditional job #i care about the wellbeing of all of us and want to make sure people aren't just getting the literal bare minimum to stay alive #we ALL deserve to be able to live our lives and be safe #engage with our interests and our community and live as individuals able to express our personalities #and god nothing enrages me more than the white commies who try to get all condescending with you #and insist that there's no such thing as a disabled person who is COMPLETELY unable to work #completely & conveniently forgetting that there are people w mental / developmental / physical disabilities who cant care for themselves #at ALL. even if the extreme cases aren't as common thats not an excuse to not think about them??#this is why i wont talk to white folks about politics. jesus christ #and they'll be the ones that are the loudest too #especially if you're an actual content creator and you're dismissing disabled people & treating them like shit?? you need your ass beat ♥#i'd really like to find some good audiobooks about communism #especially if they're something you can find thru online libraries like libby or on the internet archive
