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". On the other end, however, there lies in wait a [Singularity]] involving seeing ableism in everything and weaponizing it to selectively attack people one doesn't like. Similarly to Survival of the Fittest or Anti-Capitalism, Ableism will break down eventually.
