  • Exactly - I don’t know what you have- YOU’RE the one who said you don’t think you have “true” ADHD and used the air quotes… again, in a community specifically for ADHD. That is invalidating to everyone with ADHD who reads it in a society that doubts the existence of our disability altogether.

    I’m telling YOU that YOUR posts give off BIG “hey you don’t have ADHD, you just aren’t fixing yourself right” energy. That’s not me gatekeeping - that me advocating against ableism. That attitude kills people. This is me educating you. And if you can’t understand that or at least respect the impact your attitudes & theories might have on a vulnerable community, I guess I’d have to ask - why are you HERE? Because it’s not to help, if that’s the case.


  • You keep saying shit like “uninformed speculation” and you don’t think you have “TRUE” ADHD but still spouting your theories about “fixing” shit that can’t be fixed guy…. In a forum FOR people WITH ADHD. ADHD is a disability. I have been diagnosed “officially” but I’ve seen the effects being undiagnosed on people has and don’t begrudge anyone a self diagnosis if they’ve self educated. It doesn’t seem you have. You’re invalidating and mocking people with a recognized disability. Stop.


  • The “answers provided by the quiz” just serves to allow for the demonization of critical, democratic entities/institutions with no regard for nuance or root cause.
    Unchecked capitalistic exploitation ≠ politicians
    Information manipulation and exploitation ≠ media

    Media (& social media) & politicians are not inherently bad. “An incantation some people mutter to conjure broad, bland, completely unspecific justice” indeed.




  • My brain has stopped functioning since this AM 🤣 but that’s fair re: “echo chambers in general” - just the “both sides” rhetoric and the specific questions about “dem echo chambers” had me wondering what specific problematic issues were stemming from that. I was gonna be specific but I can no longer find/follow the convo - Oy old age ig - thank for taking the time to answer.
