just stumbled across this video and remembered out "conversation"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4ieMzbXiRA

Remember the TWO SCOOPS discourse?

yup it was a recent announcement about "balanced discussions" or whatever

in order to combat leftist propaganda lemmy.flatearth is now forcing disinformation onto its communities. The red scare runs deep.

Do you need to be officially diagnosed?

Helps with access to medication

If you could diagnose yourself you wouldn’t need any of those things.

In a perfect world everyone would have access to what they need, until then a lot of people will have to make do with what they got and if its not a licensed doctor then google will have to do.

Oh, so now I see. You don’t even need doctors because they’re racist or something because they didn’t give you the diagnosis Google said you had.

They did. I am officially diagnosed by a licensed psychiatrist with ADD and I get prescription medication for it. Still don't know why you assume I am not. Yet still there a lot of doctors which are racist, sexist, transphobic and mis- or underdiagnose because of their biases. A white wealthy male doctor might have difficulty relating to a black poor woman and not understand the issue they're facing. On top of systemic racism, for instance it's well documented that, especially in psychiatry, a lot of the research is centered around USian college students, because those are the easiest test subjects to find, which makes the research rather biased.

And there are a lot of people that don't even get to see a doctor due to poor health coverage who have to make do with what they find online.

What an absolute cold-blooded dismissal of other people life-altering struggles.

go fuck yourself you piece of shit,

a) I am officially diagnosed dont know why you assumed I wasnt

b) not everyone has equal access to healthcare and might have no choice other than to self-diagnose and medicate any range of illnesses

c) there are systemic issues like e.g. racism, sexism (sexism is double the issue in mental health than it is in physical) paired with the superiority complex of some doctors constantly leads to psychiatrists dismissing and downplaying their struggles and not diagnosing or writing prescriptions a patient needs.

but glad you keyboard warriors who never had to deal with this shit got it all figured out

wow thats hostile, fuck you too buddy

donating money to parties/candidates is a common thing for companies and wealthy individuals to do

dont like that approach since mental illnesses are typically underdiagnosed rather than overdiagnosed. If someone says they have adhd they do until proven otherwise.

yeah there are only two reasons why someone doesn't do something and it's because they can't or the don't wanna. If they want to do something but don't it's because they can't and some pedestrian advice like "Just think how much nicer it will feel after you're done" is not gonna help.

not necessarily more, but more intense. Like it's borderline physically painful sometimes to force myself to do something. It feels like I'm being very cruel to myself for no good reason, its just a dishwasher after all

the problems sound similar to "what everyone has" but they arent the same

Yes everyone struggles motivating themselves to do chores but it's not the same when you have adhd.

Yes everyone has trouble concentrating during a boring lecture/lesson but its not the same when you have adhd.

Yes everyone has the urge to buy stuff they don't need, but its not the same when you have adhd.

that doesn't really help your point seeing as we are talking about a fascist presiding over one of those colonies that was part of the alliance against Hitler.

Well he did build the Autobahn...

Anyone who thinks its the people that fail the party and not the other way around. So basically anyone who blames the people for not voting dem, instead of blaming the dems for not putting forth an appealing program that would represent the voters. You know, like in a democracy.

I’ve had this conversation with my SO. Technically speaking the best move for me as a white male would be to support Trump. Instead I vote for Democrats hoping for positive changes for all people. For most of my life I’ve thought I was “far left” for American standards, but since I’ve joined portions of Lemmy and Reddit you’d think I was a fucking Republican.

Certain portions of the left would rather spit in their own eye for unrealistic principles, even if it means that a worse alternative is the result.

But they’ll still never get what the problem is, because they’re liberals and so long as the west keeps delivering treats to the well off coastal suburban liberal base the democrats can do nothing wrong.

I remember this comment https://lemmy.world/comment/10079489 because it's such a good view into the average treatler brain. They believe Trump would be good for them but out of the kindness of their hearts they're willing to sacrifice some imagined treats and those ethnicities better be grateful for it.

of course

CEO's get to decide what to do with the money the company earns. The workers dont.
