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 the disabled (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have cancer. I'm open about it. This medicaid funding shit could literally kill me.

I am so sick of people suggesting I should "pull a Luigi" or "go out like a hero" because they still have things to lose so they don't want to stand up and lose them. So because I'm gonna die, I should say fuck it and risk it all for a bunch of jerks who wouldn't and haven't done the same for me?

Do you have any idea how disrespectful that is to people who are already suffering? When nobody is standing up to sacrifice themselves to save the weak, broken, sick, and disabled? Why's it our job to save the able bodied? Why can't these people see that even though they think their heart is in the right place, they're still basically telling us "your life sucks anyway and will end soon, you should throw it away for the rest of us who never did anything for you" or more simply "kys."

I'm officially tired of this inconsiderate and frankly ableist bullshit.

Honestly, I wish some mods or admins would make some rules about it since it's ableist.

Interesting timing. I was considering my own sense of guilt associated with this. I watched and was dwelling on innuendo studios South Bank of the Rubicon video. I was thinking where mine was, when I would act, what that action looked like.

Part of me had the same reasoning, I am disabled and my qol is set on a ever increasingly downward slope. Physio is merely to slow the acceleration of the decent, as such why wouldn't my South Bank be a little closer, action a little more drastic.

I do have a fiancee whom I love dearly, but no kids. My social circle is very close but quite small. My job is for hobby money, it's not a career. All of which screams why wouldn't my South Bank be a little closer, action a little more drastic.

I see JSO keeping corporate sponsored climate disasters in the news. I think who among them had better QOL prospects than I? Why was their bank so much closer, their actions more drastic?

I don't have answers, or I do and I don't like them which is functionally the same. Just a mild sense of guilt which peaks whenever I see someone doing something.
