Then you’re already applying luck there.
Isn't this kind of a motte and Bailey fallacy, though? You mention disabled people (a population of millions in the world) as your example of luck, but use it to justify the idea that you have to be born in a stable country with resources (arguably disadvantaging almost all of the world's population except for a billion or so).

Those are not even remotely comparable conditions.

No, they’re saying that someone who’s disabled isn’t allowed to even try and overcome the condition of being born in the “wrong” country.
Correct. You can’t just move countries when you’re disabled lol
Not to mention judging who’s “worthy” to contribute to society, along with the old racist dog whistle of “personal responsibility.”
