Comment on Can we stop asking people who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly to sacrifice themselves for a bunch of able bodied people who refuse to stand up and sacrifice themselves for us?

This is the exact ableist attitude the OP is talking about. Getting armed and defending yourself isn’t a useful option when they don’t need to storm your house to kill you and even if they did, you might not be able to physically use the gun.

Self-defense is an ablest concept, get out there and defend one another!

Those is the exact thing the OP is talking about. Telling people they need to go out and fight, putting their lives on the live when you don’t know their situation.

Self defense is not an ablest concept, it’s a natural response to being threatened, and it’s not limited to getting and using weapons.
