In a capitalist world, it can be hard to remember this. But despite what you are pressured to think, your value as a person does not come through what material value you create for others.

      Not everyone has to contribute to make a society functional. From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

      You’re being exceptionally ableist.

        It’s not albiesm to say that people should contribute to society. I even directly said “according to their ability” in the comment above that was removed without explanation. You’re quoting my own words back at me and acting like it’s a disagreement. It is exceptionally rare for someone to be so severely disabled that they are incapable of contributing anything, and in those situations society should help people according to their needs. Being unwilling isn’t a disability, it’s a bad attitude.

        Edit: I’ll ask you again since you’re avoiding the question and instead just issuing personal insults, what do you derive your value from if not your actions and contributions to the society, community, or family you’re a part of? It’s a genuine question that isn’t being answered.
