My point is that we shouldn't be glorifying a society that relies on the goodwill of neighbors helping neighbors instead of funding structured social support programs that help everyone, including marginalized and disadvantaged people, to receive the help that they need.
Why can't we have both? I have a neighbor who has MS, and his neighbors help him out a bunch. He also gets government assistance and accessible public transport at his front door. Wouldn't you rather live in a place where you can depend on your neighbors for help when you need it than not knowing or caring about your neighbors? I genuinely disagree that glorifying helping other people is at all ableist
You're missing the part where these "neighbors who help when needed" tend to exclude anyone they don't view as worthy of their help, and that can come loaded with as many biases as people have
Relying on that as a society excludes people. That's what my entire point has been about. It's great that your neighbor finds the help that he needs, but that doesn't mean everyone does. And acting like naming one example, or even several examples, contradicts the statement that there are people who get left out, is erasure.
It's like pointing to an example of a rich Black man and saying "See, Black people don't struggle with poverty"
