See? A mind so terribly atomized that it’s been surgically separated from it’s own evolutionary history. Do you know why humans run the world? It’s not because we’re the toughest or the fastest, or even because we’re the smartest. One genuis hominid out on the savannah is just lunch. Human beings survived our introduction to the free for all of life by understanding that our survival is coterminous, inextricable. Only the tribe can hunt a mammoth, only a working class can build a city.
Margaret Meade, famous anthropologist, considered society to have begun in the prehistoric cave times, because that’s when we started finding the remains of people who had lived long lives with broken legs and crippled spines, people who had been taken care of by the tribe. They couldn’t gather, they couldn’t hunt, but they were fed and cared for anyway, by people who’s unbelievably harsh conditions would have given them every excuse to leave the injured for dead. But they didn’t do that, because those harsh conditions taught them something fundamental about human life, something that a relatively cushy existence subsumed in capitalist propaganda tries to obscure: that it is and always has been a collaborative effort. That everyone is responsible for everyone’s survivial
The opinion you are espousing is below the level of social development of early cave peoples.
I also don’t think you’ve considered the implications of someone having a broken leg. That means they were doing something physically dangerous with other people. Not sitting at home. Legs don’t break spontaneously.

Sounds like they figured out a way to live without working.
I’m still not gonna cover your rent, I’ve got my own expenses.
Performative glibness will not protect you from the psychological consequences of internalizing your master’s ideology.
Is that the new “God will punish you”? Lol

They’re just being too nice to call you a miserable, embarrassing boot-licker.
