Looking forward to a friendly and reasonable comment section.

Yeah it doesn’t matter how disabled you are if you have money. Truly heartwarming

I dont think we should compare disabilities and decide which is worse or better. The take away from this is that there's always room to help others regardless of your own situation.

..unless I didn't understand the post if so can someone explain to me what I missed?

I..honestly don’t know how to react to this, like it’s clearly ableist but I don’t feel like I can correctly articulate why it is.

The one who is begging is alright in his body but has a weak mind.. so he gave up on life..

But the one who is giving money is physically disabled but in his mind he is strong hence he is able to earn and live well.

Ohh ok thank you for taking the time to explain btw :)

Yea that's the vibe I got from it but I don't really know how to explain it either lol

Just to clear your doubts about this image .. here is what it means

The one who is begging is alright in his body but has a weak mind.. so he gave up on life..

Mr. Crutches must have a mental disability. Why else would he be using two crutches with no legs when he could be in a wheel chair?

In his mind he’s definitely disabled. He should be in a wheel chair not on crutches.

Am I the only one who noticed he should be in a wheel chair, not crutches? This MF disabled physically AND mentally.

You are reading too much between the lines mate.

This mf is definitely mentally disabled. He should be in a wheelchair, not crutches.

I was kidding bro, that was a joke. Just something i think the artist overlooked.

Instead of taking the positive message you are nitpicking here unnecessarily.

I’m not nitpicking, it was a joke 🙄 You’re taking this a little too seriously. If anything this message is condescending. Not all disabilities are visible bro.

Got a laugh from me

Right? If these are 2 crutches, that must be insanely difficult and quite dangerous to use it this way. If one of those is an artificial leg, then why is it only one leg? Clearly he has money to install a second one and hugely improve his quality of life.

Weird. I get the point of the picture, but there is clearly a lack of understanding of the disabled by the author, questioning his ability to give an advice on the topic.

This is anti-homeless propaganda. The ways the guy without legs has been lucky and gotten help, and the ways in which the homeless guy has been unlucky, are invisible.

I'm still trying to beat the mental programming of failure my parents have me. It's hard to be positive when you were always the failure.

i was wondering if that is psychically physically possible or not... i'm leaning toward not

Physically, btw

And what about mental disability? What about opportunity? Some of us get them some of us don't.

What positive message, exactly? Please enlighten the group with some anti-homeless rhetoric.

Like, the guy receiving money may have an invisible disability like ADHD or diabetes? I think that is why I see it so ableist. It is like “look at this amputee giving money to someone - he can do it so can you”

I think the quote is accurate, but the image is judgmental to the homeless guy needing help

TIL my mind isn't part of my body

this post would've been fine with the quote only

Schizophrenia? Maybe OP is throwing shade at mental illness.

Now that I see it... I think you are right.

>Not all disabilities are visible bro.

I, an American, identify as 7'1 but I'm only 6'.

No one could tell by looking at me that I've that disability.

It's ableist because it basically uses a person with a disability as the "lower bound" of what should be possible for everyone else. It's saying "If this guy with no legs can live a regular life, then anybody can" as if missing your legs is meant to be borderline life-ending.

It also assumes that only visible disabilities/struggles count as real problems people face. Although that's more just bullshit than specifically ableist.

No I think I see what you’re saying and I can dig it

I’ve put a lot of effort into the machine itself without necessarily using it for all that it’s capable of; no reason to make and maintain such a functional meat vehicle if I’m not going to take full advantage of it lol

He'd be leaning too.

It's a horribly drawn comic with an Andrew Tate/Joe Rogan level take. I.e., total shit.

It's satire. How the fuck would someone stand upright with two missing legs on crutches.

you are correct. ugh and because it's a word spellcheck didn't pick it up

I think the part about that that is true is “look at that person with challenges, they’ve overcome them and so can you!” Which is motivating.
