| ‘Disability Culture' and the Allure of Victimhood |
| 2023-02-01 |
| [Daily Bell] The "Oppression Olympics" — the victimization hierarchy in which more extreme victimhood equals higher social status — is an odd outgrowth of the wider helicopter-mom, "everybody-gets-a-trophy," "Nerf-the-world" culture that saturated everything circa the 90s. It proliferated from there under the guises of "tolerance" and "equity." In the last few years, the unofficial Twitter-based Olympics commission introduced a new category of oppression: disability. One might flippantly assume that nature or fate — a bad genetic role of the dice or an unfortunate accident — might be to blame for disability. But it’s actually "ablest" society, according to the "disability community." Society, according to disability culture, is designed to weed out the disabled and exclude them from participation. The challenges that disabled people face aren’t due to their disabilities per se; they’re due to society’s failure to properly accommodate them. |
