  • My point was that we live under capitalism, therefore this is one way capitalism handles neuro divergence. We can go day and night about what we think or know about other times and systems and how they treated “others” but i was merely pointing out the propaganda that is marketing under capitalism, and how they use it to make us self regulate ourselves out of commonality and acceptance, to save money on the next quarter, at the cost of human life.

    Is it just capitalism that alienates and destroys the lives of people who are different? No, absolutely not. However, this specific article is a prime example of how capitalism (today) handles neurodivergence by gaslighting us against our own existence via marketing and propaganda. Corporations hate paying for accomodations, it effects their bottom line. And thats the point i was making. This is how capitalism views us, this is how it handles us, this is how they weaponise our existence, for power and profit.

    I understand your point and mostly agree. However i just dont have anecdotal experience living as a herbalist in the darkages, lol. And i dont believe whataboutism addresses the issues we face specifically from the system we live under right now in the present.




  • Autism (neuro divergence in general really) under capitalism, is the engineering equivilent to being a sacrificial gear in a gear box. You have your purpose, you do it well when placed in the proper gear set. But you wear out faster than all the other gears, not because you are a bad gear, but because the system itself was designed to crush you rather than crush the bigger more expensive gears. It was built for their longevity and success, not yours. This is them giving the squeeky wheel or “gear” “the grease” in a fucked up way.

    They are trying to gaslight different groups into thinking they are just a regular normal gear, and they need to just work harder, even if it means the gear breaks quicker as a result. We are cheaper to replace than we are to repair, and that is the logic that makes capitalism unworthy of human participation, it is inherently anti human in all spectrums.





  • The fact that they are quoting a director whos biggest claim to fame was 30 years ago is very telling of his present state of mind. His best ideas are stolen, he hates copyright because he lacks any talent. He cant direct, but wants to with limited effort.

    Ive worked with directors like this before, they use the word “homage” for every shot they take, they let the AD do all the actual directing work, and they sit behind the monitor looking at their cellphone during a take, and bitch occaisionally that they are running out of daylight while contributing nothing to the production besides their name and some bullshit personal relation from their childhood to the story being told in the film during a promo interview, a script which they didnt even write, they were just available when the studio called them to pump out another turd of a film. And in order to get people in the seats they claim its a “ground breaking cinematic experience” or some shit. Taking alllllllll the credit while being the smuggest piece of shit loser you have ever met. They also almost always cheat on their wives with some head of departmemt or cast member or at least try to. And they fucking LOVE blow… and shitting on every technician they can, outsourcing blame for their own ineptitude whenever possible.

    Theres a really good example of this type of person in the show “brand new cherry flavor”

    We all have our names for them, but my favourites are: dip shit moron, piece of shit loser, parasite, and of course, cunt.






  • its kind of funny to see the neoliberal conservatives (capitalists) rally to preserve a dying system by creating new trade coridors to escape the fallout of last years neoliberal conservatism (capitalism)

    “wait guys, it’ll work this time, i promise, please bro, just let us lift environmental regulations and take privately owned land, give it to the indigenous, and then take that same indigenous land that we suddenly care about giving back, because we made a new law that says we can do that for nation building projects, some that are primarily owned by foreign internationals, much of which are american and linked to MAGA, please bro. just one more LNG plant and some more pipelines and i swear we will fix global warming right after, please bro, come on. WE PROMISE not to send our shiny new military to die abroad, its only for domestic defense and support roles, we PROMISE BRO, come on!”



  • whenever the US finally burns down and is replaced by something hopefully more enlightened, i believe generally that critical thinking skills should be taught and graded every year from kindergarten through university. a mandatory course that is graded on the “two truths and a lie” concept. beginning of the year you state two truths, and one lie. throughout the year or semester you have students discuss it, go over it together. all the while teaching them smaller units on conspiracy theories, science, medicine, biology, economics, politics, human psychology, history, etc. then a large section on logic and class conciousness. and finally, at the end of the year they prepare a group report on the two truths and a lie concept. honestly the two truths and a lie can all be completely fabricated, in fact there could be 3 truths, or 3 lies. or 2 lies and 1 truth. the whole point is that through the years they have to develop an understanding of authority and how it thinks vs how they think. and how to compile real verified evidence to back their claims. even if they chose the right “truth” they have to back up their claims with verified evidence and there can be no emotional or vibe based answers. automatic failure. then, they also have a secondary aspect to this, when they check their sources they also have to dig into who funds them, their history, affiliations, are they internationally recognised, are their studies verified by third parties. etc. each piece of supporting evidence is an extra point to their arguments.

    the whole idea is not necessarily to teach them one all encompassing truth, but how to view every situation critically and give them the muscle memory to search for truth without falling victim to grifters and propagandists against their better interests and verify information themselves so they dont just fall victim to isntagram reels, tik tok, and youtube shorts for their information and political ideology.

    another layer to this would be to teach them how to use different search engines, VPNs, etc. so they arent getting as many filtered results from people who fund and support fascism.






  • with every end there is a new beginning, such is in life and death. there is no fear in the end. only oneness and a return. regardless of our choices during the coming years, and the outcomes that follow. there will be a time, eventually, where the universe as we know it will cease. what came before, or what comes after doesnt matter. what matters is the here, and now. and right now, i appreciate your kindness, much like a child appreciates the comfort and safety of a loving home. thank you for your practical, caring, and hopeful mindset! may your mind and heart ring well beyond their time. :D
