I will say that more disabled and homeless people I have talked to have discussed wanting to maintain the existing system of exploitation and somehow just get a lucky break/subsidy to get them out of their rough spot, rather than discuss class conciousness, strangely enough.
That said, I conversate with them, give what I can to them, look them in the eye and try not to ignore them. They are humans too. I hope this high profile incident brings more awareness to the need to work together to counteract the lazy bums living off of taxpayer money and government handouts (healthcare executives).
I don’t think that’s what OP was commenting on, they were just pointing out that class consciousness and changing systems to incentivize helping people would be a more effective long term solution to the struggles people face with disability and homelessness.

Disabled people shouldn’t need to discuss class consciousness to deserve our respect.
Absolutely they do deserve respect. I’m saying that most people aren’t rallying behind Mangione just because he’s a rich and handsome disabled person.
