  • Is that directed at me, or at other people reading this comment chain?

    And why are you telling people to smoke crack? You are promoting suffering by doing this, and that is illogical and mean spirited when the rest of your comment is talking about reducing suffering by not procreating.

    Are you arguing in bad faith here, or have you just not thought this through properly?



  • For a very long time we had a robust system of public violence that prevented a lot of this. Not all of it, but a lot.

    That’s not as true as you want it to be, sadly.

    People who abuse others tend to be very good at manipulating themselves into positions of power and authority in other ways too, and abusive people are often a product of the society and people they were raised by.

    Conservative religious societies really aren’t historically (or currently) known for treating their women and children well, and before very recently, conservative and religious was the default everywhere.

    Also you might not be old enough to know just how much more common and socially ignored child abuse used to be, even 30 years ago. Spousal abuse too. Women and children have only recently gotten legal rights in many western countries.







  • Getting diagnosed with adhd and autism as an afab took me till my late 20’s and early 30’s respectively, despite having been in therapy from childhood and then seeking MH help regularly throughout my teens and early 20’s for audhd related difficulties.

    Every single one of my symptoms and problems were easily explained by my having undiagnosed audhd, or very convolutedly (and often times offensively) attributed to a myriad of other MH conditions. Guess what ended up happening? And guess how much the private healthcare cost to sort it all out?

    Solidarity yo. I hope you find out what is ailing you before it becomes too damaging!
