  I am not even an ML. So you can actually go fuck yourself with this dishonest attempt at a character assassination.

  I mean you don’t. If anon were to go to the psychologist, the psychologist would tell him that he has significant mental issues. A disability if you will.

  Why you preach this pulling yourself up the bootstraps mentality is beyond me. Completely antithetical to what the vast majority of disabled people need to hear.

  I’m afraid you don’t understand what it means to be disabled. Disability happens when people stop being able to function in daily life. As far as anon is concerned, this probably happened right when he got his HS diploma. Anon is exhibiting severe social dysfunction which is likely aggravated by C-PTSD, Autism, or a schizoform disorder.

  This is true, it’s the need for consistency that drives up costs.

  I don’t think you are considering how people are interdependent on each other. Let’s assume someone abandons their child, let’s also forget anon in the post here for the sake of simplicity, it signals to the child that they are on their own and that they can make it on their own. This is a falsification of how things work in real life. If you now have a bunch of people who think that they are the masters of their story, you get essentially what’s been happening since the capitalist revolutions. And that becomes toxic at some point because it’s all about intentionally blinding yourself in regards to the context that things happen in, people start being unable to put themselves in the shoes of others, they can’t deal with topics that in the most literal sense concern the environment.

  A lot of it is because people take reality for granted and to arrive at the whys is difficult because there exists a whole industry that legitimises the present state of things. Think of Fox news, or the Washington Post, or the Guardian – who would rather want more competent people in charge of an inherently antirationalist system than to fully overcome it. As more and more people are immiserated they will gain the knowledge of the absurd contradictions that have been considered normal and desire to supersede their masters. So in this culture there is a fragment of overcoming the metastability of infinite growth and so on.

  not right now, anon will be fucked, since the economy is fucked

  Yeah, but that is the reality. You can have your hypothetical grabby industries all you want, if they don’t exist and don’t provide what you claim they provide, which is a life, than you are talking about a fantasy. Plus the point of disabilities is not one where variety matter, how many disabilities there are, what matters is that people have those disabilities and the fact that very often people do have those disabilities.

  Photography is harder than most people think. You need to get to the places where you are doing your job, there is tons of communication involved, then there is editing and proper archival stuff you need to do, accounting is also completely different from that of an uber driver’s, and it’s not just the camera that costs more than 5K (looking at you BRIESE and Profoto). It’s really a whole thing.

  I am going to be rude and say that this mindset is completely mentally ill.

  Some people have disabilities, they might not be visible. Truth is even they have needs and to say “sink or swim” reeks of cynicism and plain hatred for humans and closing one’s eyes to the human condition. You say that he should just go to work. As if people exist in a vacuum and can apply for jobs and get them. It’s clear that he has issues, guy has not been able to work. You can’t seriously believe that the system will want to employ him.
