"Why are you only criticising liberals/leftists when the right are even nastier to disabled people?"
Because liberal/leftist spaces have a very specific brand of ableism that they hide behind a mask of progressivism and anti-capitalism.
And because the left should be better.

When you will throw disabled people under the bus in your environmental activism.
When you will side with workers who break the law and abandon disabled people at the side of the road.

You say you want a better world. And yet you don't see us as a part of that better world.
At least we know that the right hates us and would rather we quietly died.
And that's why it matters, and that's why I do it.

Right wing spaces will never be safe for us.
But your spaces, over there on the left? They fucking should be.
