  • Both Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion are great, and protests should be disruptive, otherwise they’re just ignored. Maybe they’re not doing enough disruption and damage to force governments to listen. Or, maybe someone should go after energy/oil companies directly via sabotage or other means and cause enough economic damage that the cost of polluting and resource extraction becomes too high for them to profit from.








  • Yup! In a lot of ways having ASPD is analogous to not having guardrails or safety interlocks on your brain. It won’t warn you via automatic empathy if you’re about to do something messed up, so you have to check your actions and analyze yourself much more. Interestingly, most people with ASPD who are relatively “successful” (not in prison, etc) heavily use our prefrontal cortexes much more as a compensatory mechanism similar to how blind people can get really good at hearing.


  • Idk, I don’t really agree with the “ASPD = apolitical” argument. I’ve been diagnosed with ASPD, and I think that it actually makes me more politically involved because I don’t inherently have the same respect for laws and conventional morality, which allows me to more easily visualize changing the societal systems we live under. Also, the lack of remorse means it’s easier for me to continually break rules I consider unjust, such as societal rules on gender expression. Lack of automatic empathy means it’s also harder for me to be manipulated by a boss, IMO.

    Obviously I can’t speak for the entire ASPD population but for me, being “apolitical” would just be endorsing the status quo of society, which is unacceptable.

    Overall it was an interesting and thought-provoking read, thanks for sharing!


  • We really don’t need more liberal apologia, IMO LibertyHub was and should be a respite from all that. Can we please not let it be overrun by class collaborationism, revisionism and bourgeoisie pseudo-theory? If our goal is to create a proletariat strong enough to throw off the chains of our oppression and move towards socialism, we need to not platform liberal ideology that reinforces the status quo of capitalism.
