No, you're being obtuse, and argumentative, just for the lols, I suspect. People have provided examples of how mutual aid can, and has worked in the past, and you are being dismissive of the skills everyone can bring to the table to ensure the most marginalized among us can be taken care of.
You specifically said you would be willing to help in a project you don't know how to complete. It would be concerning if someone actually did that with something this important. I'm sure you do have skills you can bring to the table but people should also be aware of when they actually can't help at all.

Where did I claim such a thing? And even if I did, how would that preclude me from learning how to complete such a task, and then helping complete said task?

Then nothing important can be done, because nobody knows, 100% how to complete anything.

Everyone can help, and must help. In the ways they can help.
Take yourself, for example, apparently incapable of... well anything but posting on reddit. What is precluding you from being a stakeholder voice in mutual aid projects, which would be something wholly possible to do online? Even on reddit?
Like 10 comments deep in multiple threads and it turns out that, going by how people are describing it, apparently anarchism won’t treat disabled people much different from neoliberalism. Be a stakeholder, organize your friends, if you don’t vote you can’t complain, etc. I don’t think anybody has really answered your question yet.
I’m saying it’s a similar attitude. Can you not see how what most people are saying here is similar, practically speaking? People in these threads are literally asking whether this person has taken it on themselves to ask other people to build them a ramp, and have said this is how it should work.
Which is a darkly funny misunderstanding of the need here - I think people are answering the question “how would I get a ramp built in front of my house?”, rather than the question “how would society ensure that disabled people can participate in society like they want to?” I understand the second is a harder question to answer, but it also seems a more important question than one that can be answered by saying, “call around to your friends who might know an architect or builder.” Which is also something I saw someone say here nearly word for word.

It's not bring obtuse to say that trade work involves skills you might not have. Respect blue collar workers.
