Well they shouldn’t blatantly lie to stop disabled people from receiving help if they don’t want to be despised. The lies they told on my form contributed to my benefits being stopped, hence the dire straits I’m in now.

My so-so understanding it is Capitalism is, literally, mathematically, exploitation. Exploitation of humans comes through the malicious exaggeration of all natural differences in things so as to divide and conquer. Within the captive population, it doesn’t really want to exterminate (that’s for the uncontrolled outsider), because it’s happy with the mechanism of division that it understands, and it fears novelty.
It needs “wretches”, the labour of their suffering is a threat to other workers, who it tries to make complicit through endless propaganda. Turning the people against themselves makes them into their own oppressors and undermines their ability to understand themselves as a class.
Since those with disabilities are more complicated to exploit, they’re less profitable. And since care for others is so innate to humanity (and I would say basic to Life), turning the people against those in greater need is an even greater distortion - “from each according to their needs, to each according to their ability”.
