I’m just curious about this. As someone with a chronic illness, I pretty much never hear anyone talk about things related to the sorts of difficulties and discrimination I and others might face within society. I’m not aware of companies or governments doing anything special to bring awareness on the same scale of say, pride month for instance. In fact certain aspects of accessibility were only normalized during the pandemic when healthy people needed them and now they’re being gradually rescinded now that they don’t. It’s annoying for those who’ve come to prefer those accommodations. It’s cruel for those who rely on them.
And just to be clear, I’m not suggesting this is an either or sort of thing. I’m just wondering why it’s not a that and this sort of thing. It’s possible I’m not considering the whole picture here, and I don’t mean for this to be controversial.

It’s not stupidity, it’s the Just World Hypothesis. A classic example is that thing people do when when driving by a car accident. Many people will look at the wreck and say, “They must have been texting.” Or, “They must have been speeding.” People make up fanfiction to reinforce their feelings of safety. The same thing happens with health and ability.
why did you go straight into attacking their local culture rather then consider this as a fundamental human behavior
Exactly, why insult the fine people of Moronistan? Most Moronistans I met are really nice people. Been there on holiday a couple of times.

Being visibly disabled in public will bring these people out of the woodwork. You might not associate with any, but they’re everywhere.
Being non-visibly disabled is even worse, people will literally just not believe you if they can’t see it.
That’s been my experience.
Wow, you’re a dick
