    Why are disadvantaged people “bottom feeders”? That’s a very common conservative sentiment.

    Not everybody is as strong or as able as you, and not everybody has had your privilege. I don’t need to know your story to say that and I don’t give a fuck about how hard you think you’ve had it. You at least have a functioning body, many people that you might consider “bottom feeders” don’t have that.

    It would be desirable to everyone for life to be easier for everyone. Just because you may have struggled, making things better for everyone doesn’t invalidate that - no matter how much you might kick and scream at the notion of giving everybody the right to a dignified life.
