; what really pisses on my parade is when people try to act all high and smarty party by saying " yeah well YOU did this that one time !! We're basically the same and you're no better than me !! " in response to being called out on being ableist. Because while I am not saying I am not even the slightest ableist, ( as that'd be ridiculous, I've spent the entirety of my life being raised in an ableist environment with daily ableism that little ol me might not even fucking notice being taught to me, and younger me sure didn't. Like hey I'll admit I said shit like that because I was taught it was okay, I'm not saying I'm squeaky clean. And I apologize to anyone I've hurt in my stupidity ) the difference is you don't even care, and can't be bothered to begin unlearning the ableism so heavily integrated into our society and into your life, while I and many others AM trying actively to do that. You're ableist now by choice, you've realised your ableist ideologies and have done fuck all to change them !! That's the difference between you and me. ( pt: That's the difference between you and me :end pt ). You don't care because you've been taught not too and now can't be bothered to enact the magical concept of self education and personal thought, I'm teaching myself to be a better person to those around me. Please know the difference before deflecting " call outs " by turning it on the other person, because we're focusing on YOU right now and what YOU'RE doing. Thanks.
