    What part of I care for multiple disabled family members and live in poverty did you miss? Yeah I can totally afford the financial upheaval of a strike or to get arrested or injured protesting. I’m sure my spouse can handle things without me.

    I just hope the pseudotumor doesn’t act up and cause her to have a seizure at an unfortunate time. Or maybe it’ll be one of the ones where she temporarily loses a random chunk of her life and she won’t remember who they are or why she’s there that’d be fun.

        That’s my point though. None of the people who keep commenting these things seem to give any thought to the possibility that the person saying they’re scared might not be able to actively resist. It never seems to be “if you’re able, you could try A, B, C. If not, then X, Y, Z, might help you stay safe.” It always seems to come off as them saying “Oh, you’re scared? Fight back then lol.”
