We’re going to need to stick together and help our most vulnerable if we are to survive the next four years.

this is not about visiting but about moving.

In most countries it’s impossible to get residency if you’re on disability benefits. And for a lot of us we’re unable to travel. Although we tend to be the people that are seen the least, and therefore forgotten about.

“this is not about visiting but about moving.”

this tweet is still fundamentally incorrect.

The distinction you’re making between traveling and moving is impractical in the real world.

“In most countries it’s impossible to get residency if you’re on disability benefits.”

you do not need to get residency to move somewhere.

“And for a lot of us we’re unable to travel”

“a lot”? sure.

“most”? no.

a lot of abled people can’t travel.

but most abled people can.

a lot of people cannot travel.

most people can.

Yo I recognize you from the last time I tried to say not everyone can easily move countries and you were like “it’s as easy as buying a plane ticket for a hundred bucks and you’re set”. I think you really need to look into how you empathize with people and realize that not everyone is you. The reality is moving is quite difficult for most people already, and now you’re in a chronic illness community basically telling people their struggles are imagined

Hey friend this is a support group for disabled people not a place to spout your unsourced opinions on disability. Perhaps read the sidebar.

if someone cannot work how do you expect them to move and support themselves in a new country?

Chronic Illness

!chronicillness@lemmy.world

Create post

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
