What always struck me about her was her lack of compassion, so I have a hard time finding pity for her. When I heard her speak about the mentally and physically disabled, that they have no function in society and therefore society shouldn’t be devoting any kind of training or care for them, I thought, “Gee there must be a lot of institutions in her world.” But then she wouldn’t pay for even that, leaving the disabled to simply flounder and die.

I hate to go all Godwin and she didn’t advocate for outright killing them (I don’t know if she thought it), but her ideas aren’t far from Nazism.

Her ideas on the disabled at the very most are horrifying. And yes I agree with your point as a whole that what has always rubbed me the wrong way about her and her whole philosophy is its complete lack of compassion for fellow human beings.
