  • Sorry it seems you’re just getting a lot of generic advice and the usual “bootstraps” bullshit.

    Unfortunately, the reality is that for most people with autism and support needs, unless you can find a unicorn position, you’re kinda just fucked and have to settle for something that you’re not a good fit for and will be detrimental to you’re mental well-being in order to simply survive our sick society. There isn’t really any sugarcoating it.




  • Masking is the absolute bane of my existence. I can’t bring myself to do it anymore. Burned myself out so much doing it for decades I lost myself. Had to mask at work then had to mask at home around the family. Basically never had even a moment where I could safely be myself without being chastised for doing so.

    So now I just don’t. If I’m gonna be uncomfortable either way then I’m not going to waste my fucking energy catering to the sensibilities of assholes who would never do the same for me.



  • The thought that crying doesn’t do anything is misguided. It actually changes a lot internally. Like, sure, it doesn’t change your material circumstances but it absolutely has a proven effect on our mental well-being and ability to regulate emotions.

    It helps us to process emotions of grief and tension. It’s catharsis. It has a physiological effect on our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. That exhaustion is the release of tension that, without it, the body isn’t recovering from.

    So, on a rational level, yes, crying does actually make people feel better in the long term, even if it doesn’t immediately show signs of effectiveness.






  • Yes it does still collectivize production; it just does so in a decentralized method. You don’t need centralized authority to be a collectivist.

    You have no understanding of what anarchism is.

    Oh and of course, the lame fallacy that because it failed it means it can never be a thing. Tell me again how that worked out for the communist projects around the world? Oh, right, those imperialist nations totally don’t have clear class distinctions and any day now they will just willfully give up their newly gained authority over the masses… any day now…


  • Bruh, you’re taking a metaphor at face value instead of just understanding that it is, yes, a simple slogan meant to represent a much larger idea. A very common anarchist slogan, in fact.

    It wasn’t meant to be a point. It isn’t an argument against any of what you stated because it isn’t itself an argument. It is just a slogan that represents a more in-depth point.

    No, the proletariat cannot just use systems of oppression and hope it withers against its fundamental design. That’s just naive, wishful thinking that doesn’t understand how the system works to reinforce itself.

    Tools also depend on their design to function in a specific way. You can try to saw away at a tree with a hammer all day but you’ll never cut it down. So the answer isn’t to use their tools to do something they weren’t designed to do but to build/use different tools altogether.


  • If you remove the system that allows them to gain authority over necessities and dictate how others access resources that should be communally available then you fundamentally remove their ability to be able to oppress you and your community.

    by asking nicely,

    I didn’t say you ask nicely. Nice try misrepresenting my argument because you can’t understand it.

    What you are literally talking about is that we tried using the tools of the masters and instead of making a better society we just changed who was at the helm of the oppressive system. Thanks for proving my point.
