  • I read the articles and strongly disagree. ADHD is real and meaningful. It’s not a reaction to “illegitimate authority” or “working a boring job”.

    Your sources are pushing ADHD denialism and read as ableist right wing nonsense. ODD too.

    Many people with severe anxiety and/or depression are also anti-authoritarians. Often a major pain of their lives that fuels their anxiety and/or depression is fear that their contempt for illegitimate authorities will cause them to be financially and socially marginalized; but they fear that compliance with such illegitimate authorities will cause them existential death.

    Going stupid — or passive aggression — is one of many nondisease explanations for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Studies show that virtually all ADHD-diagnosed children will pay attention to activities that they enjoy or that they have chosen. In other words, when ADHD-labeled kids are having a good time and in control, the “disease” goes away.

    This is an insult to people who suffer from real conditions and an insult to those who suffered under Soviet style weaponization of mental health.







  • Maybe to people inside .ml it isn’t informative, but to people outside of .ml it really is.

    For people outside of .ml it’s like hearing “just look the manager in the eye and give them a handshake. Then you’ll get the job!” This advice just comes off as weird and disconnected till you realize the person is a boomer. Then it clicks and you realize why they have such a bad take.

    Like .ml not all boomers have weird takes but if you see a weirdly disconnected take on job hunting knowing the poster is a boomer is informative.

    Same with weird pro Russia or pro china takes with .ml.

    When people outside of .ml see takes like “Putin is waging a just, defensive, war against Ukraine!” The take is so bad as to be disconnected from reality, then you realize the poster is .ml and it snaps into place. Just like the boomer situation.

    Again not all .ml have such bad takes, just like not all boomers have bad takes but when you see such a bad take knowing helps clarify things. It’s informative.

    I hope this helps you understand even if you don’t agree.
