-On a map, it would read "You are here". Probably. Hopefully. And ableism is a more real issue than one would expect. Many forms of discrimination exist that would fall into the umbrella of ableism. Discrimination against overweight, discrimination against/denial of mental illness like ADHD, autism, tourette, classical depression and subjects like substance abuse disorders are all valid examples. "Just go to work", and "anyone can do it if they just want it" are real, ableist sentiments blaming the victim for consequences of their disability, essentially being [[privilege|privileged]] and mostly uninformed attacks minimizing the disability in one way or another, in this case, for example, reducing the disabled person to a "they just didn't want it enough".

Similarly to Survival of the Fittest or Anti-Capitalism, Ableism will break down eventually.

-But then there is also the lower end of the ableism iceberg. It's when you begin to see everything through the lens of ableism, when ableism dictates your entire worldview. You begin to see ableism everywhere, you start interpreting ableism into anyone, everyone and everything that happens and is done. Like "school is a propaganda tool of the capitalists", an extremely radical sentiment, ableism can be used to make equally radical and pointless/misguided statements. [[Singularity|Singularities]] like Survival of the Fittest or Anti-Capitalism will break down eventually, and so does the singularity of Ableism.
