      If you dont have a net worth that’s 6 figures minimum, or come from a nice family with a background of being an american “patriot” or otherwise having come from a not-shithole country. then you’re a useless eater.

        “Useless eaters” are a term with a specific history of explicit oppression of the disabled (usually ablism is merely implicit).

          Im aware. Im re-using the term with 21st century moron-think

          I have literally heard strikingly similar arguments to the “useless eaters” rhetoric in refernece to everything from housing, jobs, and even f’ing gadgets.

          have heard maniacs say “we gotta have a depopulation if we’re gonna be able to continue affording our quality of life”
