Capitalism with social programs is literally market socialism.
You guys are in here repeating the exact same conflations (that all socialism is non market socialism) you’re lamenting the GOP using.
Like. There are even direct quotes from FDR and Truman on this. Wtf.

Fix your heart or die bro.
Societal phenomenon cannot be explained by individual choice. Everything you just blamed on individuals who you made up in your head is actually a result of systems at work that hurt people which we should reform.

It’s not “if your friend” it’s “if your friends” and, in context, tacitly it’s “if most or all of your friends”
None of us should have the hubris to assume we can’t be deceived by one person. At the same time, it’s reasonable to hope you’d notice if your entire social circle were rapists.

Basically our system tries to impose executive dysfunction on everyone as a means of maintaining control via oppression
So those of us who already have executive function get hit hella hard.

I agree there.
I just also have a full tilt fight or flight response (and let’s be honest I have adhd so I always choose fight) to any suggestion that it’s not a disability because that’s the language denialists and anti-treatment crusaders use.
Our system 100% makes it so, so much worse.

Idk I’ve lost hours scrolling on my phone instead of gaming. Because it required getting the controller or setting up controller software or some other momentary step first

for the impairments much, much easier.
It’s those people who insist it’s a superpower—not a disorder with silver linings we personally like—but a 100% positive super power that drive me nuts because they ultimately take treatment and help away from people. I resent them for it.

adhd either. I like who I am.
I just much prefer the me that has the help of my medicine, that gets to keep my impulsivity but has a say in how it manifests.
I don’t think having a disability makes me who I am, and I don’t think it makes me less. I just wish our society made accessing the help

I think who you are is pretty great P(Crow)<50😔
I don’t think the neurogenetic disorder in your brain tissue is what makes you who you are, and I don’t think you should feel one ounce less happy with who you are just because that disorder causes impairments.

my partner’s life with the noise and impulsive plans and risk tolerance that you rightly point to as the silver lining, but no amount of treatment takes that part of us away because that’s not impairment.

positive—though it is also what kills us, which it does at a huge rate—but it’s also fairly robust to treatment.
To me the worst of the disability lies in the moments. The concrete reality that we have about 1/3 reduced emotional control to our age peers, that we have a consequent reduced ability

How many times has it made you snap at the right guy? Made you forget a promise to him? Made you lose focus on something you care about? Made you unable to process something difficult in a way that didn’t further impose on the person telling it to you?

We would still find ourselves stuck and unable to start actions we want and need to start even with UBI.
It is a disability, our system just makes it worse. I still wouldn’t want to go without treatment even if it didn’t imperil my finances.

We would still have impairment for emotional regulation, impulse control, and planning toward the future even if we lived in an economic system where it don’t also make us more likely to become homeless or go without healthcare.
