  • Your assertion about the need for unanimous backing in a proletariat revolution is laughably simplistic. And I’ll kindly ask you to refrain from making assumptions about my own lived experiences, or anyone else’s for that matter.

    Every revolution, every major movement in history, started with the bold few before swelling into unstoppable masses. Afraid of landing in jail? Understandable. But jail cells have a way of creating symbols that ignite larger flames. Ask yourself: can they really jail us all? Every filled cell will magnify our cause, not quell it.

    As for the dire consequences you highlight, like ending up on the streets, let’s be clear: many are already there, with or without revolution. They’ve little left to lose and much to gain. And the belief that we’re just trying to care for our families under the current system? It’s doing a disservice to those already struggling, trying to protect their loved ones in a world that has been designed against them.

    You mentioned “manufactured consent,” and that’s spot on. But think deeper: it’s manufactured. Crafted. Made to fit. And anything constructed can be deconstructed, redesigned, or outright obliterated. We aren’t simply passive recipients of this design; we’re conditioned to believe it’s the only one.

    So while you’re trapped in a narrative of inevitability and compliance, I see potential. Potential in every oppressed individual who’s been underestimated. Strength. Resistance. Evolution. Life has schooled me in the harshest of ways, and I assure you, the lessons stick. We’re not just passively surviving this broken system; we’re actively challenging, adapting, and overcoming.

    Remember, the heart of humanity isn’t so easily suppressed. Before you use words like “literally” again, reflect on this: maybe the real illusion is thinking we’re helpless in the face of the chains society has slapped on us.

    I’ll leave you with bell hooks: There is an element of play in choice, an exercise of free will. One chooses to live through consciousness, aware and awakened.






  • I sure do! Who said anything about Biden’s fault?

    It’s your fault, and your peers.

    Or perhaps you can tell me why you’ve decided that you’re happy living your life in crippling debt, desperately crossing your fingers for the branches of government to decide that they’ll finally afford you the very smallest crumbs of relief possible.

    How much above the FDIC insurance threshold of $250,000 did the individual accounts of Silicon Valley Bank get bailed out for again?

    Oh, and how much has been recovered for the $100+ billion balance of PPP loan fraud?

    Curious.







  • I’m glad my experiences can help!

    I’ve no problem sharing gender and body info: I’m cis female.

    I definitely went through a bit of a period of questioning when I realised the differences between my pre and post medicated experience. Afaik a lot of newly medicated folk go through a stage of coming to terms with the effects of the medication on their life.

    Personally, I felt a lot of grief about ‘what else has changed’ for a little while. Not just in my sexual experiences, but even the need to take medication. There was a lot of internalised able-ism I had to work through as well.

    Ultimately, your experience with diagnosis and medication will be your own, but there’s a big community of fellow adhd-ers that can chime in and possibly help support you with whatever you’re experiencing.

    There’s always hope. :)
