    I remember when I was starving to death (I mean literally, I had multiple severe diagnosed nutritional deficiencies because of this that were worsening to the point of nerve and organ damage) before I found mutual aid, I asked for advice on Christianforums.com. I wanted help finding Christian pantries where I could get food as the food banks in the UK are so awful to access (I’ve written about that a lot before on here). The Christians were horrible. They refused to help, told me to “man up and sort your own problems out” and said disability benefits shouldn’t even be a thing, that society isn’t responsible for me. Eventually one of them posted info for a food bank in London. When I pointed out that London is 200 miles away from me and I had no money at all for transport they said, “If you really needed help, you’d find a way to get there.” Just horrible, horrible people. And at the same time these same people were posting threads with titles like “What can we do to be more holy?” Just utter hypocrites, the lot of them.
