Able, adj: having the necessary power, skill, resources, or qualifications to perform a certain task.
While “able” is the antonym of “disabled,” it does not mean “anti-disabled.” It does not say anything at all about a person’s disabilities, only a person’s abilities, and everyone can write a personal list of both qualities easy enough. Basketball players are not able jockeys and jockeys are not able basketball players.
Ism, n: distinct doctrines, theories, or systems.
For instance, I am Catholic. I practice Catholicism. Being Catholic does not mean I practice anti-atheism. We are nearly two centuries into the age of isms and they are always affirmative practices even when they are distasteful, not double-negative practices. Even racism is the affirmative belief in a single superior race rather than singling out an inferior race.
Ableism, n: Practicing tasks you are capable of performing.
SJWs want you to think that the word “ableism” means to discriminate against disabled people when spoken in the English language. Nope, sorry, not according to the English dictionary. The sounds coming out of the SJW mouth may be “ā-bɘl’iz-əm” but the meaning is from the make-believe language of Social Justice. Here is a real world example. The word “fart” has different meanings in English, French, and Swedish. Anal gas, wax, and speed. That is why SJWs are so hard to comprehend. They speak in an imaginary tongue that sounds like English, but is something else entirely.
When we do things we are capable of doing, we are practicing ableism. Walking, talking, listening… using those gifts God gave us… rather than wallowing in self pity over our limitations. Someone who is physiologically deaf can still be an extraordinary listener, while someone who can hear a pin drop across a football stadium can also turn a deaf ear to you and your problems. The deaf person is not discriminating against the person suffering from alexithymia by being a good listener. I am a vertically challenged man and need a ladder to get to the upper shelves in my kitchen. Tall people are not discriminating against me because they can reach where I can’t. I also love me a good vertically challenged joke, because life without humor is as bland as plain, unsalted oatmeal.
“A vertically challenged man walks into a bar and the bartender asks, ‘What ‘ill it be, fella? Top shelf?’”
The Social Justice definition of “ā-bɘl’iz-əm” is the exact opposite of the English word “ableism.” SJWs want the able person to believe “ā-bɘl’iz-əm” is to discriminate against the disabled in thought, word, and deed, even when they do not know they are doing it. In being “able” you are necessarily a bad person: an ableist. If you have lots of talents that makes you a serial ableist. To deny it is an example able fragility. The same thing goes for SJW definition of the sound “rās’iz-əm.” By being “white” you are necessarily a genetically inferior, bad person: a racist. To deny it is an example white fragility. Here is a real world example. The English word “deaf” has several dictionary definitions depending on the circumstances, one of which is physiological deafness, a disability. If you call your boss deaf because she ignores your complaints about a female coworker harassing you, you have used the word correctly because your complaint fell on deaf ears. In the SJW mind, though, this makes you an “ableist” unwittingly practicing “ableism” because, somehow, in using the word correctly in a sentence, you discriminated against Rush Limbaugh, God rest his soul, who lost his hearing and had to have cochlear implants making him legally disabled. Which would have made Rush laugh at the absurdity of it all. Which would have triggered said SJW in so, so many ways. Which would have made Rush laugh even harder.
Unfortunately, the make-believe language of Social Justice is creeping through the English language like Orwellian fungal hyphae and appears immune to the light of truth. It is antithetical to rational and spiritual thinking and is spreading out from its epicenters in cities like Seattle, Portland, and Oxford via public education and social media, much like the Covid-19 virus, except its growth rate is measured in decades rather than months and it is the more likely source of the impending Zombie Apocalypse where everyone starves for lack of brains.
So the next time some neoliberal SJW gets up in your business about being an ableist, racist, phobic, gender biased, misogynist, Nazi who engages in hate speech, remember they are not speaking English and their brains are infected with the disabling Social Justice fungus. Gently let them know they are being foolish, put a little butter, salt, cinnamon, and sugar in their oatmeal, and offer to buy them a dictionary printed in the 20th Century so they study the words of the English language. Once they have learned to speak English correctly and understand all of the absurd, hurtful offal they throw at people in complete ignorance, then maybe, just maybe, the two of you can have a real, spiritual conversation about life, the universe, and everything. It is a worthy ideal to keep in your prayers.
Following a bench trial this week a federal court in Michigan is set to rule in the case of a farm that was banned from a city-run market in East Lansing over its owners’ refusal to allow same-sex couples to hold weddings on their property.
