If you're a member of this society and disabled, society should take care of you, otherwise it's a shite society.
The problem is our society is hostile towards the concept of... Society.
We've been poisoned to believe individualism is strength when it is weakness. We've been propagandized to resent Americans when they fall on hard times, angry when they draw on herp derp muh tax dollars so as not to die when they lose a job or get an illness.
The US has a profound, deep rooted culture problem. We're more a gaggle of wannabe rugged individuals undermining one another for oligarch crumbs than a society. That's why I want this place to collapse, as both parties want that hyperindivualism poison to keep running us, because only under that die alone, sink or swim, winners and losers race to the bottom national ethos can the owners continue to exploit us to death for ever moar profit that's still never enough.
It's brought nothing but misery, it's destroyed the social contract, and it's destroying the planet. If we do not end our worship of the individual and the pursuit of avarice, it will end us.
I don't know... I think it's the phrase "government teet" that I don't like. I don't ever want to be portrayed as suckling at the government's teet. But yeah, I mean, they hardly give me anything anyways.
That phrase is again just the perverse villainization of the social contract and being a society, and it ultimately only benefits those that want to extract wealth from societies instead of being a member of one.
I'm sorry that it sounds like you've internalized that capitalist aggression meant to keep our citizenry undermining one another instead of lifting one another up. If you're disabled, your society should be judged for failing to give you adequate aid.
