The difference is that people have been coping with mental illness for all of human history, and only in the last few hundred years have they been able to rob other taxpayers to fund their "muh crippling disability" lifestyles.

Someone who is physically disabled like a paraplegic is one thing, though I would hope even that person could find work doing text-to-speech writing (for example). And some mental illnesses are legit excuses for someone not to be told "get over it and get to work." But we are subsidizing otherwise healthy people to behave like they're helpless, and it's not ultimately good for anyone: not the taxpayer, and not the gibs collector, and not society at large.
